HTU has a lot of market penetration, and for Kyosho to arrange an exclusive deal piques HTU owners' interest and persuades them to bring the product into the store. If Kyosho had just distributed this product like everything else, you would probably be able to count on one hand how many HTU locations had dNano tracks or even supported the line. I think it was a pretty smart move. Now, a ton of HTU's are going to carry it, and maybe more people will get involved. When the exclusive deal wears off, there will be a lot more consumer interest in these cars.
