I find it astonishing that something produced by a small manufacturer would be compared only to something by Ninco. I would expect it to absolutely destroy it. I've tried Ninco motors and they are.....not the fastest shall we say.
The only modern motors I have really enjoyed using have been NSR's between 38,000 and 50,000 RPM. They go very well indeed in a brass chassis. If this is just the usual case that I know nothing about modern RTRs and my expectations are based on the performance of older, classic motors, I don't know but I find them somewhat anaemic.
I do think that most look lovely though. My wife gave me a BRM Alfa (24th of course) and it is astonishing pretty but I have to say, the performance is way down from my expectations, I have great trouble getting it sideways. Yes, yes, I know that's not the quickest way and I am quite capable of driving fast thanks but I prefer more performance than I need to use rather than something underpowered or only just quick enough. I like real cars like that too. Shame I'm now such an old git that I drive an Audi but I've been lucky enough to have owned a fair selection of Alfas over the years so I can live on memories there as well as with slot cars.
I think I have unintentionally mislead you, I should have said that the Ninco is actually just the body, it has a 3d printed chassis with the same slimline Predator motor. I just refer to as my Ninco because it’s based on the body.
