Back when we got a lot of Ninco cars, we did an IROC with those, having replaced the Ninco motors with Tomy Tigers and the tires were some Supertires we stretched to fit. The karts stayed on their lanes, and were the same color as the lane they were on (red on red, yellow on yellow, etc). We moved from lane to lane with the cars staying on the lane for the next guy, so everyone ran every car. Its was an insane afternoon on a 90 foot Scaley Sport track. We all left there hoarse from laughing so hard. It was great racing, but the sight of those little things flying around was hilarious. One of the guys replaced the driver's head on his with a perfect sized skull. I think they cost around $40 then, and the Tomy motors were next to nothing. It was one of our best races.

Yes, these will be nice. I just hope they have a somewhat reasonable price tag. I think they are a blast as well, and would enjoy adding them back into our racing.

We have had a bit of fun racing them - they are like NC-1 powered cars the racing is pretty even.

Even Scalextric has a 50 dollar price tag.

Standard price on Ninco tends to be AUD 80 here, so USD 60 sounds pretty good.

I wonder if anyone has tried to reconfigure one of these with a sprint car body?
