FYI, we have some new tracks coming out for the 2009 Holiday season that have a different surface texture than the smooth and textured side currently available on our black surface tracks.
The kits will be available through Toysrus, HSN and a few other large retail chains and come with a complete track and two 1/40 scale RC cars. The cars are high end toy grade and come with operational front and rear headlights.
The track surface is a stamped print, which is sort of in between the smooth side and textured side of our current tracks. The 1/40th scale cars work very well on the surface. I have tested the dNaNo on the surface at PN Racing's headquarters and it performs well with PN Racing high grip tires. With the new surface you get the feel of the smooth side with close to similar grip as the textured side of our current tracks. The tiles are dark grey in color, the straight side rails are black and the turn rails are yellow.
I think offering an entry level RC car with a professional track in the toy industry will only help sales and popularity of the Mini-z and dNaNo. Many will look to upgrade to a hobby grade RC car at some point. There are many people out there that don't know that the Mini-z and dNaNo exist. By getting our tracks into the masses of the toy industry, opens up many doors for people to get into the hobby side of RC.
