Best and Worst

I just wanted to hear from you guys about the best ones you have come across and worse ones. I know the low body and aerodynamic has to do with alot .

I have this model.The 911 GT-3 its the RM type and its not a good to modify. At least from my stand point.The front sits very low to the ground and the rear hops up alot during high speed turns. I modified with the ball bearings, the ball diff and then the last thing I went with was the X-speed Type S motor. Maybe I need more practice at the track but I run mostly low 7.xx seconds or high 6.xxx second laps. And thats with me taking it easy no crashes,and the upgraded motor.

I come from MA-010 AWD GT-R with bearings,ball diffs and stock tires world so it takes a little getting use to.

Anyway lets hear it from you...

hmmm, i love the look of the gt3. it's been very tempting as one of my purchases.

i'm holding out for the db9 and or other racing bodies.

the nissan r35 is decent. once you add a bit of weight, the chatter and wheel hop are more pronounced.

The GT3 is cool I opted to buy that just so because I like Porsche and it was the cheapest model available at my LHS. The quality of it is awesome, I wish it had the GT-3 decal on the side though like the real ones.It sit pretty low!

Oh and another cool thing about the GT3. If you do get it,when the rear spoiler decides to pop off,then you have yourself a 911 that's GT-3less

Thumbs up

the GT3 is probably one of the best models in the dNaNo line. its not my favorite car as far as looks but performance-wise, its hard to beat once the necessary option parts have been added. if you're having issues with a bouncy back end, pick up a carbon rear suspension plate (or the fiber type from Atomic) and that will resolve your issue. don't give up on it so quickly, with time you'll find the right setup and beat your best lap times

NanoTrax.

I picked up the Skyline GT-R R34 car and I do a whole lot better with this car then I do with my Porsche and my lap times are a little better with the MM car.

I'm improving my driving each time I go to practice and running 6's 7's and 8's. I think I will be the quickest one when it comes down to racing whenever they decide to get it going where I'm at. I want to be able to do 4's and 5's but that's going to take more practice and maybe some assistance with a Gyro Unit!

NanoTrax,what about the new Audi R-8 is this car wide,say like the Ferrari 360 Modena?

everyone's driving style is different... the way you handle a dnano will determine which one works best for you. the skyline is a potent little machine as well. i'm just glad you've found something that works for YOU. all dnano data can be located in PDF files on the Kyosho dNaNo Supprt Page. from my experience, many cars that have similar fitting parts will perform in a similar manner but performance is also affected by the option parts installed. to answer your question, no... both are built on an MM Chassis but the R8 is long and narrow, similar to the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.
