nice job. how well does the paint adhear to the plastic?

This is my first dNaNo. It came from one of the first production runs in Japan back in Feb. of 2008. It was used by Kyosho at the first media dNaNo launch party in Japan. The photo's were taken in my backyard. The track is part of our injection mold project, I have been working on. Yes, the grip is to scale and just right for going slow or running fast. :)

So far so good! Ran the new body a few times and had a few minor crashes. New paint job still intact :)

What did you soak the body in, and how did you do your wheels?

The body was soaked in paint thinner for around 5 minutes. Then I just used an old toothbrush to scrape off the paint.

As for the wheels just used Tamiya oil based paint and hand brushed it on :)

Nice F40. You're the only other person, besides myself, that I've seen with an F40. :)

I like the wheels, but I'm more interested in the foams fires. I'm running on carpet so the more traction the better. Do you have a link or part number?

Yep, the F40 is really beautiful, nice detailing and very well replicated.
The foams are self made. This is my setup for carpet with the stock rear tires on the front wheels. The grip is phenomenal, I can keep up with a Mini-z.
See here how to make the foams

Wow very nice 917 and beautifull pictures. The painted rims do well.
By curiosity, how much time did it take you to do the conversion from Murcie to 917?

Took me around 1 hour and that included cleaning the front axles and ball differential. Car is completely fresh now and can't wait for a test drive :)

I'm going to the dNaNo track today. I'd like to see how you like the 917k. I've always loved the body style, but was afraid to pull the trigger thinking it would be too squirrelly.

I can't find words for this one...
Could not resist as I have been driving the Z version for years.
The details are even better thand the Z: double deck wing and headlights.
The proportions are better too, with a longer body compared to the Z.

Hi Arch, well it has been listed in the dnano.jp lineup for 1 month already. Mine comes directly from Japan.

I love your choice of the white wheels on the Mazda, it suites it very well! The black Murcielago is awesome, I would've gone gloss black, but that's just me. I was thinking of repainting mine pearl white to match my Mini-Z body. But, I've grown to like the green.

What type of paint thinner did you use exactly? Some will eat the plastic and that would destroy these bodies! So, I'm curious as to what exactly did you use and you said you only left it in for 5 minutes?

Just got my Scooby in the mail today! I am very impressed with this WRC model and I whish Kyosho would do the same thing for the bigger Z.
Now I have one RM and one MM. Except, the Subaru should've been AWD! I hope to see an AWD Dnano some time soon! http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...o/DSC09731.jpg

My first instinct was to try and find gold wheels, but I think white wheels would look just as hot on this one as well.

Here's my new Dnano with my MCX helicopter.

Question. Is it normall for the front tires to arrive partially cracked at the edges? I don't recall this feature on my previous Dnano's. I am aware that time can effect it, and possibly climate. But at the same time, it's brand new in a sealed box!
Tires ain't bad at all, and I do plan on replacing theme some time soon, so not complaining. Just curious.

here my ferarri dnano again but now compeetly tricked out !!!
only alloy wheels are missing
and marco my dnano came whith a bad tire to, see other post from me

The cracked tires must be from stock that has sat around. My Murcielago came that way as well.
My Scooby seller said he'd ship me a new set of tires. I'd like to find some white wheels now for the Scooby if possible.
I'd also like to find somebody who can re-anodize those blue bit's a different color. I'm seeing red's for the Ferrari's, green for the Murcielago, silver and gold for the other's. :D
Different colored alloy would really pop-out on these cars.

Hi all

My F40 and Murcielago. The Murcielago is fully optioned with the F40 still waiting for parts.

Nice pair of Italians! ^^^^^^^^^^

Very nice! And nice choice. I know both cars. You can really feel the difference in handling between RM and MM as those bodies are close in shape. For my part, I decided to keep my F40 stock. It is still agile on narrow and technical tracks while my yellow Murcie is set for high speed on carpet. The F40 is much too nice to be trashed on a mini-z track IMO :confused::)

I'm curious as to how my Subaru will handle being a long and skinny body, as well as being RM.

thanks for the comments. I bought the F40 cos its RM and wider than the 911 which should be more stable in high speed corners.
The bodies are too nice for racing but the good thing is that they are fairly cheap to replace.

I received fresh front tires from my Scooby seller. But I'm keeping them in the package till I really need the new set. I'm actually looking into the better PN tires for my two cars.

The wheels really do set the Porsche off.I like the looks of the aluminum wheels on the Lambo too,but does it not add too much weight?

I haven't noticed much weight. I can weight them if you'd like. Those were the very rare and special German-made AVM wheels that were available on ebay a while ago. Have not seen them available since then. But now we have the Aluma-Tech wheels and I'm thinking of getting a set of those. Particularly interested in their dish-style wheels for my upcoming Countach.
It's nice having different wheels on different cars. Having too many wheels the same starts to look generic! LOL!
So when the Countach arrives, I'll have to get those Aluma-Tech dish's.
The PN tires is really what makes them look good. With the stock tires, the wheels look too large, well actually the tires look too small as if they were made for something else. So PN's are highly recommended!

One small thing I noticed about the Porsche, is that the rear wheels don't seem to be perfectly centered with the wheel-well opening's. Only when the suspension is compressed do they line up right.

i have aluma-tech aluminum wheels and the added weight might actually be a good thing.

I'm still trying to get a set of the alloy's for use with the stock chassis tires. I'd like to find two styles, the 5-stars for the Porsche, and the dish-type for the Countach. At Real-Tracks web sites, the only ones I can order are for the AutoScale tires, which I don't want.
