New RCP Track Tiles/Rails/Discs for the Mini-96, dNaNo and HPI 1/32

We are manufacturing some new tiles and rails for the Mini-96 30cm kits. The new kits will be coming in on our next container shipment. The new items will be a great addition to your current tracks and will work great with the Kyosho dNaNo and new HPI 1/32 scale RC cars.

~ The idea behind these new pieces are to allow users to set up tracks in their home or limited space similar to slot car type tracks. Each complete section will allow a rail to be installed on both sides of the tile. Currently it takes 4 tiles and rails to make a 90 degree transition. The new tile design will incorporate one complete section to make the full 90. See pictures below.

~ The new straight sections will incorporate 4 straight tiles into one complete section. See pictures below.

~ Users can put together their tracks more quickly and can layout the tiles just as you do with slot car tracks.

~ We have also added a large radius outside/inside turn section. This will allow users to make large chicanes and also be able to wrap the turn around the standard 90 section. This will allow a larger track to be set up in a smaller area as there is practically no wasted space between sections.

~ We are also making some 360 degree discs that can be installed at the 180 degree turns and 90 degree turns. The discs will add some color to the track as well as giving the turns a more realistic feel and look.

~ All the new tiles and rails will connect up to current 30cm RCP track kits. If users want to increase the lane width, they can install one of our current 30cm sections and then add a blank tile to increase the width in 12" increments.

~ We are looking to add the new tiles into (2) new kits. The first kit would be called the Mini-24, which would allow users to set up the same size track as the Mini-96. The second kit would be called the Mini-12, which would contain enough pieces to make a track half as long as the Mini-96. The Mini-12 would run about half the cost of the Mini-96 and Mini-24. We may also add a Mini-48 which incorporates the 30cm tiles, so users can add them to their track if they want to increase the lane width. The Mini-48 will have half the pieces included in the mini-96.

New Kits

Mini-12 ( Includes the new large one piece sections and will allow users to set up a track half the size of the Mini-96)
Mini-24 ( Includes the new large one piece sections and will allow users to set up a track the same size and length as the Mini-96.)
Mini-48 (Uses the current 30cm tiles and allow users to set up a track half the size of the Mini-96)
