Official dNano and tracks coming soon...
...to a HobbyTown USA near you. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.
I spoke to a somebody this weekend that HTUSA nailed the exclusive rights for dNano distribution in the USA and they will be getting dNano tracks as well. This person was not a dNanophile so I asked specifically if it was RCP or something else. The answer was it was a dedicated track for dNano like a slot car track. I get all warm and fuzzy thinking we'll see tracks like these soon.
If so, it means we will also be able to compete worldwide with other dNano users utilizing the dNano circuit license and their MyLapOnline program.

Great "news" I hope it's true, I would love to be able to race for real with the My Lap Online system. The only thing that bums me out about an exclusive license for Hobby Town is that this creates a problem for people like Dave and Busters or others from recreating the Kyosho Bar + Track theme that the Kyosho Shops have... I know this hobby is filled with various age ranges but I would love to go somewhere, grab a few beers and run my 917k!

Hey there, doesn't drinking and driving count for small scale too? 
That is good news, but strange. Cause most of the Hobby Town's I've been to dont' supply Kyosho goods, ESPECIALLY the Mini-Z Dnano series! The ONLY HTUSA I've found to carry Z's is the one in Melborne Florida.

The rumors are true(I think)?
My local Hobby town will be getting a track in November or so, they will be selling Dnanos as well. The track the manager showed be online appeared to be very small. RCP like kind of. Personally I think at the very least they should get a Mini-96.

I enjoy my Dnano's on my 96, it's plenty. However, as much room as these tiny cars take, and they do take a lot of room being so fast, they should get the expansion pack as well, that way they can race either Dnano's or Z's.
My local Hobby Town's in Colorado suck. Their only good for building plastic model kit's and gaming. Hardly any RC products at all. We had one great RC hobby shop but it closed do to bad ownership. They had a nice supply of Z stuff and probably would've gotten the Dnano's if theyd still been around.
I'm very excited about the new bodies coming out, especially the Countach. If anybody is interested, I have a very nice die-cast Countach in 1/43 scale I can take pictures of. I can take a picture of it right next to my Murcielago to give you an idea of how it should look in this small scale.
Does anybody else have the ball differential upgrade? I'm anxious to get one.

I have ball diffs in all three of my d's. I set each up with a different level of tightness. The tuning tools that come with them are nice. A very complete setup. Also in typical Kyosho fashion they come with spare parts. Highly recommended.
