I just saw a Ninco Ascari and liked the look of it, not hoping for great performance but it might be quicker then the Fly Viper I am using in GT3, am I wrong or are they ok, It doesn`t matter much, it was cheap and and can be used as a club loaner if it`s not......

Non mag the Ascari will run better than the Fly Viper, as long as the pinion gear is still serviceable. With mag, there is little to match a Fly Viper.

Not sure that there is.
Possibly a replacement kit from one of the spares manufacturers.

If it comes with the red anglewinder gear set like this:
That was the only alternative gear set we were allowed to use on the Powerslot Polo Rally car in Standard class. Sadly difficult to find, it was easier to buy a 2nd hand car for those gears...that was a few years ago and the PS Polo is now a rarity in Rally.
There's a good article on that gear set here ->

Unless your rules are strict (that's if you even have rules) there's plenty of alternatives out there starting with SlotIt and NSR and you can mix & match gears from different manufacturers and you don't have to fit angled pinions either.
Life is like a box of Slot cars...
