Jeremy, 
The lightning cars have some advantages over the regular Ninco units.

1. Wheels
Five spoke ribbed air hub Alloys as a factory fit on all four wheels.
Choose the right model (Ford gt) and you will get the rare smaller diameter versions on the front.
Others have the same, larger, wheels all 'round.

2. Body
Lightweight interior as a factory fit so this can be used when the rules state that the interior must be a factory fit and not a 3rd party lightweight lexan retrofit.

These cars are no longer in production and hard to find.

However, racing the whole car "out of the box"?  
Not likely!

The ninco gears are nasty.
NSR make a range of "for ninco" ergal crowns in the right diameter and right angle. 
In fact, this is how NSR got started as a company before they started making cars.

The motor pod flexes like crazy leading to a phenomenon known as "ninco hop". 
Try searching for that phrase and you will find information on it.
Custom struts (toothpicks or something) and epoxy resin is required if using the ninco red motor mount.

For the above reasons my proxy megane is an HRS2 chassis car.
NascotWoodSlorCarClub used to run nincos. 
When Ninco first hit the market they "were a revelation" (ref DiDi Druce) but by modern standards they fall short.

For me, the NSR porsche 997 is still the way to go
Quality, ready to run from a quality scuderia And no "discussions" because the 997 is undeniably a rally car.
