Hey Folks,
Now that these NSR F1's have been out for a while, I've been considering whether to bite the bullet....but as funds are scarce, thought I'd poll those who have bought one to help me make a decision to justify buying one.
For context, seeking feedback about how these run no-mag on a smaller, routed home track - my Mugello track is roughly 60' and is a fast flowing circuit like its 1:1 counterpart. Flax latex painted track surface and we run urethanes - so fully expect to swap rear tires out for Paul Gage as that is what we normally run here. So I'm not looking for tire grip feedback or tire suggestions.
My ask comes from running some NSRs in the past with that same stock motor which were not fun, where I ended up having to replace the motor, fiddle with gearing changes etc. So, what's your thoughts on the stock motor (21.4k, KING motor, 350 gr/cm of torque) and in-line gearing (10:27) combination. Overpowered or not? And if it is, what sort of motor or gearing changes have you done to make it more fun to drive.
Fully recognize things come to personal feel, but as it relates to my driving style, I'm not an on/off the throttle driver - so I prefer more flow re: car responsiveness.
Look forward to hearing about your experiences!
Tom
