Thanks for the updates Tim.
As for the GP comment, you know as well as I what was meant by that. Tower and GP operated in such lockstep that it was transparent to everybody that it was run as a single organization. This and some of their other actions left some with a bad taste in their mouths so they are skeptical when a similar "looking" situation presents itself. My suggestion is acknowledge and move on
I am hopeful the new relationship will rock. The tracks don't sound too appealing yet as 4x8 is barely enough to race a ZipZap and dNanos fly. Modular is one thing but let's hope we get some large, smooth, flat tracks to air these suckers out.
Any ETA on when we can expect to see dNano stuff on US soil? I have things I want to get right away and it would be nice not to have to do Japanese mailorder. And unfortunately my buddy is in China right now and dNano stuff is still not there yet either
BTW, if you want my take on what will make/break dNano in the US. It's not the car/starter kit (or module) cost although that is on the steep side. It is the bodies _PLUS_ the need to buy a fitting kit at exorbitant prices. If there is any way to get these down to reasonable prices or even offer bundle combos, it could go a long way to help build this new and budding race base.
