thanks for the kind words... just getting the shop open is a big project & a huge investment but we'll definitely look forward to hosting big events in the future. baby steps first! ;) ... i'm looking to possibly incorporate other models into the sales/racing scheme namely the mini-z but i'll have to see where kyosho is going with dnano/mini-z in the future. by the end of this year, we will have 2 fully operational, 8mx4m modular, competition tracks available at the shop and a regular racing schedule. we will offer many services including d-nano/mini-z rental for those not ready to take the "buy all out" step. i'm really excited but patience is key in the success of the lounge.
