Stopped by the store today and ran around a little bit...I can see this becoming very addictive! To bad I live an hour away - If I were closer I would be running the dNaNo all the time!

I was lucky enough to get my car registered by the on-line software run by the store today, so now I can get into my own garage on www.racednano.com and view everything that is available to view - it is all pretty cool!

I don't know what is up with the fastest lap times though - There is NO WAY anybody is getting around 3P Infield Circuit in 0.80...That's just crazy - there needs to be someway to correct this so that only actual lap times are posted...Hopefully this will get corrected as everything gets up to speed???

I was running my car box stock w/ the exception of a carbon suspension plate - because my stock one was broken in half when I took mine out of the box??? The 3 panel layout in the store is a good size for the stock motor, I don't think that more speed would be any more beneficial on a track this size.

I'm not sure what tires my car has on it because they were changed when it was sent in for replacement and even though I asked for them to let me know what they were they never told me...But I know that they are all around harder than what was originally on it - I could tell that just from driving it around on my kitchen floor before I sent it in and after I got it back.

Seems like to me my car may need a slightly softer tire up front to give it a little bit more steering, but other than that seemed pretty good. The rear end would hop a little bit in the turns when off of the throttle - maybe would be better if I could find a stock rear suspension plate to put back on it...

I ran for over 100 laps on one charge of the battery and didn't notice any carpet fuzz or other debris from the track building up on the car, only a very little bit of super fine dust up on the underneath splitter of the body - that's it...

I hope to stop by again tomorrow and run some laps after purchasing some softer tires for the front if they have any in stock...

Thanks Hobbytown guys! I hope that more people get into these and that they really start to take off!

Nice to meet you Pedro! Hopefully we can get together some time soon and race!
