Wow... well I'm glad the dNano marlet is actually picking up since HTUSA isn't the sole distributor for the dNano in the US anymore... while they had/have the best price for the dnanos, their marketing plan for getting them out to the public and creating awareness sucked... now there are quite a few places when I can dnano parts and cars, and I have done so... but that's also the advantage of living in southern california... we have RCKenon 20 minutes from my house, and I can get parts next day with regular shipping... or I can drive to Kyosho (Route 241 raceway) to race my cars and buy parts... or drive up north 45 minutes and race with a bunch of my friends at Brooker Tracker and buy cars and parts from them... and fnally... there is a HTUSA that actually still has Dnano car and parts... eventhough they aren't going to be carrying them anymore, they have quite a few small parts (batteries, tires, bearings, ball diffs), and cars in stock at good prices (got my Subaru for $130and got my 787 last year for $140) Dnanos are starting to catch on here as my friends and i go the the Local Mini-Z races and do demo runs, so we hope that they catch on... they are great little cars, and the only fault I've found with them is that the rear end chatters horribly when gong around turns and I cant' figure out how to remedy that... I've got a damper on it but it doesn't seem to do anything to help....

I wish you luck with the track... the prices DO seem steep when compared to what's available, but they seem cooler than anything I've seen out there..

I am friends with John at RCP, but I have to say... the seamless surface of these tracks, and the roll-ability for storage, is intriguing
