Wobble Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Some time ago a cobber had one of these Reprotec Fiat/Seat's that he used to run with our classics and it was always hard to beat. Apparently the RT9 motor is very similar to a NC1. http://www.gruposlot..._speedlight?p=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesx Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi Bram and Wobble. I appreciate these suggestions but you never know continuity of supply, quality, reliability or consistency with some of these motors. Best I think to stick to a named and proven brand. The likes Ninco and BWA remain high on my list. It is a pity that the likes of Slot-it or NSR do not produce a low power motor. I know Dart Hobbies keep getting poor reviews for response times but the BWA NC1 is tops in terms of quality and bang for buck.

Regards Chas Le Breton Chas you may well be correct in that the BWA NC-1 may be the best thing since sliced bread, but dangermouse's question in the 1st post is asking for alternatives.

Regards Chas Le Breton I don't think anyone could regard Dart as a "continual" supplier, to read comments on various forums of waiting up to 6 months for a paid order to arrive and then have that same person suggest "thats just the way it is" is crazy. Regrettably all the other suggested alternatives are not satisfactory, maybe thats the answer, and we have to suck it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEEJAY7 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Please excuse me butting in. You obviously have a problem with a global supply motor. This series, (and others who specify a similar motor) are too good to allow to fade away without finding a solution. Why not go for a standard 18K Scalextric motor....widely available, not too fast and cheap. Certainly not too powerful in this type of car. At Wolverhampton in the UK, where we have run rounds of the IPS in past years the NC1 cars were still fun to drive , but it should be noted that the normal classes of very similar cars that are used run with Scaleauto and Slot.it motors. You don't have to use full throttle all the time!.. The standard Scalextric FC can motor is also fine in vintage F1 cars so again no supply/peformance problem. You really only have to specify voltage at the current track your running and even then it doesn't matter if you use different voltages at different tracks it makes the event much more varied and can allow alternative cars to reach the podium if a particular voltage suits a particular car..

dangermouse Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 The Scaley 18k motor is the fastest motor class we run (with the odd exception on a couple of tracks which allow an 'open' class) The NC1 is considered our slow class and the Scaley our fast class ps good to see you back on the forums Alan - are you getting back into slots? cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 There is clearly a market for an NC-1 equivalent motor - why not give Maurizio a nudge, if it's attractive enough commercially then could be an option.

alexis in greece Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) The best thing would be to convince Maurizio to produce a flat motor of NC1 performance Edited October 30, 2016 by alexis in greece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munter Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I am working on a bulk purchase(50 units) for a FC130 size NC1 equivalent motor from an ex supplier. More as more develops.

SlotsNZ Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Heya Alan nice to see you down there. I am not sure I have your contact details any more. I have moved, we're living around the corner from you on the Costa Blanca. - And we have a couple of spare rooms if you are RVing about and want a break. Guys - I'll be seeing some slotting folk here in Spain over the next couple of weeks, I'll see if I can find anything from them - eg IBB or Cartrix/Mitoos. What are the specs, 14k or 16k - and torque, torque max is critical - And does it need to be can-end drive or FK versus FC - etc Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermouse Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hi Mark I was looking for something as close to spec as an NC1 The reprotec motors look promising they are rated at 13k - and seem to have similar torque to the NC1 The Cartrix TX1 seem ok as well though my experience is they are on the quick side compared to an NC1 cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_rusty Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 From my experience (RPM's have been checked, but torque is via the 'by the seat of your pants' method) Ninco NC1 / NC8 / N1 are all about 13 to 13.5k, and with mild torque BWA FC130 are about 13.5 to 14k with slightly more torque BWA FF-050 are about 14 to 14.5k with low torque H&R Jack Rabbit are about 14 to 14.5k with HIGH torque SRP 16k are about 15.7 to 16.2k with mild torque I've not tested or used any MT-1's, but from what I understand, they are halfway between a NC1 and a BWA. The H&R and the SRP are equivelent motors, but require VERY different gearing. Neither belong in any NC1 class, but as the H&R is regularly bandied about as a NC1 replacement, I added it here. Also, as the Ninco's run in, they seem to rev better and better...

SlotsNZ Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yep. Mac and a couple of others have the SRP16k in cars in the pre 65 class in HBMRC and they are definitely a lot quicker motor. - just a higher overall wattage. Munter may have a solution soon anyway by the sound of it, but I'll still make some enquiries as backup.

kalbfellp Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have found that he replies and sends the invoice reasonably quickly, but once payed the goods seem to take a very long time to get sent.
