I've had the privilege of discussing pros and cons of 28th scale pan chassis with a couple of top Mini-Z experts in person who've had & driven them. First they feel the major issue is servo speed which no matter what is going to be slower compared to the one in the Zs and that effects the drive negatively just too much. I'll add to that the messy decased esc (only mediocre choices) & rx or messier mini z board install which simply is not appealing, one look & u realize there's almost no room for them on the chasis. And oh here's the other thing they say the mini-z is simply faster so what's the point. This discussion took place before the PN a-arm or the reflex WTF came out the 02 is much faster now with those.

As for creating a 1/43 pan chasis from scratch there's simply no electronics that size at this time and even if there was the car wil end up very heavy with super high cg, simply not viable.


Best solution would be a pan BODY for dnano in for say Mazda 787 configuration and go a little crazy if needed like the current 1/8 scale bodies with huge side dams to get clearly more downforce compared to anything else out there. I'm not a fan of pan body trumping the ASC LeMan's bodies at all. Just as an added class which will create more variety and make the dnano experience richer and maybe even draw a few more people in from 1/12 scale which is what the 28th scale version did.
