The hottest new Slot Car...the NSR Corvette C8.R

[@Saywhat-pl2jl]

I think Marty is the most down to earth guy out there. Just great energy 💪 go Marty go. As we say , Keep it in the slot.

[@twolinesslotcars]

Thanks for the kind words! I will keep making content I hope that you connect with. I appreciate you tuning in!

[@Saywhat-pl2jl]

Best detail ScaleAuto. No if and buts about it.

[@twolinesslotcars]

I only have one Scaleauto.. but have my eye on a few more..

[@nobodyshome758]

I also have the NSR C7 Corvette Gulf livery sidewinder which had currently owned my Carrera analog track record. My new Orange NSR anglewinder C8 Corvette is now my new track record holder after some tweaking. Sidewinder, anglewinder its all good. Like you stated, change the pod out if one chooses. Oh, and yes, the Carrera C8 is a beautiful, fast car. Love it as well. Nice video Marty. Thanks for sharing!

[@twolinesslotcars]

I am not surprised that the new C8R holds the new track record.. I think it will be around the top of everyone’s fast lap list👍

[@chrisfreter3629]

I always love waking up the Two Lines Saturday Slot Car & Rost Coffee Time with Marty. A very enjoyable and informative unboxing and review. It is great seeing the cars on the track to see how they handle and how everyone tunes their cars. -- For our NSR GT3 collection I mainly have have AW motor pod configurations, but we do have two SW motor pods. Based on my driving style and our Carrera track layout, I find the AW to be a more stable platform. I am holding off of the Test Liveries and waiting for the number 64 livery from Le Mans later this summer. As always, Thank You Marty!

[@twolinesslotcars]

That is a good choice Chris. I think the anglewinder may effect is a big help on plastic track for sure 👍

[@Yamfj1200rider]

Way to go Marty! Set the motor level in the pod and a couple drops of shoe goo will lock it in. Keep up the good work!

[@twolinesslotcars]

I was surprised that it did not have motor screws🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SimonAlgra]

Great video Marty real helpful thanks

[@twolinesslotcars]

It is a great car Simon!

[@markcunningham87]

I was looking at the NSR C8 last night before bed. Now I awake to this. Looks like the gods are telling me something! Thanks for the video.

[@twolinesslotcars]

😂😂 it looks like we will get some additional liveries in June… if you don’t order a test livery now. Mark… it is your destiny.

[@DNASlotCars]

Curious to test as our NSR Mosler is an animal. Glad you didn't get yellow, @slotr wouldn't be happy 😂 Eill probably wait to get one of thr upcoming Repsol liveries. Thanks for the video, Marty.

[@twolinesslotcars]

The Repsols look fantastic.. coming in June.. maybe.

[@lewismumby2040]

I managed to get one at the UK Slot Car Festival 👍🏻. Got the yellow one.

[@twolinesslotcars]

Jealous that I could not go!! Nice find!

[@slotjournal]

Nice test and tune, Marty. I have two Carrera C8s, so I'm not in a big hurry to grab the NSR - though that Repsol livery might be something to look at later this year. Curious what the performance difference might be; I'm guessing on my track it might not be so great, as I don't think the 25k would really get a chance to strut its stuff. Also, I tend to leave the magnets in most of the cars that came with them, which tends to narrow the performance gap between the various manufacturers. Thanks for the video!

[@twolinesslotcars]

So it’s very tunable.. and a motor swap would make sense on your layout.. but great car for sure!

[@bomamo9620]

Ride on Marty. I got that on my list, but I can`t buy now. Maybe later in the next months, if I can get one than. If not, I am looking also for the C8.R in Repsol livery. Have nice weekend 🙂 I would go for the sidewinder solution. 😆

[@twolinesslotcars]

Thanks Bo! Maybe we get the Repsol livery in June? Enjoy your weekend!

[@MPSlotCar]

Been debating on one of these. Looks great in orange 👌🏻

[@twolinesslotcars]

Liveries come out in June… it is pretty good, MP. It’s no Lightning McQueen… but pretty good. 😂

[@voivode2591]

Thanks for the video Marty. I am still waiting for my preorder. I did order mine in the AW configuration. I am also waiting on my AW Gulf 917🙂

[@twolinesslotcars]

Love the 917!!!

[@dougverbridge3900]

GREAT Video as always Marty keep it in the Slot and GO FAST!!!😂😂😂

[@twolinesslotcars]

Thanks Doug!

[@voivode2591]

I think the C8 is going to be a lot like my NSR AW 720S McLaren. I went with the pod suspension using hard springs. That was because the body sits on top of the chassis. I couldn’t really trim it back for a true free floating body. That was a big help. I removed the magnet and used some tungsten putty. I am experimenting with spring loading the front axle to allow upward movement. Hopefully that will help in places where from the banking or changes of elevation the cars wants to just ride on 3 wheels. It’s an adventure.

[@twolinesslotcars]

The adventure is where the fun is!!

[@Michael_63]

Pretty cool, I already pre ordered one of the race liveried C8R’s. I got the sidewinder also, I like them.

[@twolinesslotcars]

They should look great!!

[@josephstanczak4340]

Put some Jagermeister waterslide decals on it and clear coat, and go! 😊

[@twolinesslotcars]

Dusty said the same thing ;)

[@josephstanczak4340]

@@twolinesslotcars I need to find a source for Modern IMSA Jagemeister decals. And JPS too.

[@rhysthomas209]

Great review Marty 👏 👌 👍 thank you

[@twolinesslotcars]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnalbright723]

Great review and as we like to say, it's got a lot more in it.

[@twolinesslotcars]

It sure does!! It was out of box set up front and throw it on the track.. it is going to be a good one!!

[@darrellrogers8213]

Great video and you should order the Jager decals for the C8 and make them a team!

[@twolinesslotcars]

That would be cool!

[@MrDarrenp40]

Thanks Marty. I have now ordered a red one. Here in Europe I suspect we need to go to NSR direct in Italy to get the sidewinder and this does seem to be the best configuration. Otherwise, yes. the thing does look 'loosey goosey' on Carrera track and so tires and the guide should dial all this out. Otherwise, I agree that the Carrera has a better aesthetic and lights and so these two models are apples and pears. We can be sure that this C8R will become a go to choice in any NSR GT3 class. The only question is whether it beats the McLaren 720s from NSR in 2022?

[@twolinesslotcars]

John Albright posted about testing the new C8R against his McLaren.. looks like we have a winner.. they are both great choices in the GT class..

[@arnetoft2108]

Hi Marty my sidewinders NSR drive very well and is easy to handle but my angelwinders are just a little bit faster.

[@twolinesslotcars]

That has been my experience too..

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Great car.

[@twolinesslotcars]

Yes it is!

[@Dafingers1]

HAPPY SATURDAY FELLOW SLOTTERHEADS AND MARTY

[@twolinesslotcars]

Good morning John!

[@norfloslotcar]

looks good OOTB there yup a NSR deep wood guide, some weight and Aero-downforce simulation and the car should be a killer ?!!!

[@twolinesslotcars]

yes, guide.. work on weight and body float and should be a rocket..

[@jimstaigers8200]

Thank you 🤗

[@michaelgutrhie6291]

Marty how are the brakes on your C8? I also got a new NSR C8 anglewinder after some turning today it’s running some quick laps but the brakes don’t stop as good as other cars! But do like this car. Thanks for you review.

[@twolinesslotcars]

I don’t usually run a lot of brake. I want to do some testing. I’ll get back with you on that.

[@michaelgutrhie6291]

@@twolinesslotcars I’m going to try to which from AW to SW and do some testing on my track.

Nice review Marty! Sorry to nudge you on this car. I know you won’t regret it! It’s a great car!

[@twolinesslotcars]

No worries! 😂

[@modelracecar]

I'm trying to not get drawn into the web but this car is too good to ignore. OK there may some body lines missing but is a better looker than the Mosler.

[@twolinesslotcars]

I agree.. it is fantastic.

[@Clearwater124]

Marty, careful, you may be reaching the Corvette limit that will bring the criticism.

[@twolinesslotcars]

😂😂

[@Dafingers1]

The carerra has better lines

[@twolinesslotcars]

Yes, the Carrera version has more detail. This did not surprise me. 🤷🏻‍♂️
