well, NanoTrax isn't a kyosho property, we don't have a "deal" with them in any way nor do we race online so... i don't think we exactly "fit". but thanks for the offer

it isn't tied to kyosho, thier online racing or anything in particular. in the begining it was all kyosho/hobby towns but as these spread out so will the clubs.

it's a chance to have an area just for your shop to post shop updates, events, promotions, etc.

if i start club races at my home track, i'll start one for myself for example. see the tracks and gtg subforum on mini-zracer.com as an example. in fact, i can get you setup on mini-zracer as well as you do race mini-z's as well.

another good point. the red porsche gt3 and white enzo are certainly nice looking. so is the yellow f40.

i know we're completely off subject here... but no need for the mini-z board as we are planning on phasing out mini-z from our inventory. dnano "matches" our shop's theme & mini-z doesn't run well on our modular tracks. shame, cuz i like mini-z a lot :-/

will do.

anyone see anything new pop up in reports form this japan show?

anyone get any news since then on the release of new stuff shown?

arch2b · #23 07-07-2009, 09:12 PM

looks like we are a bit closer to getting atleast one of the new bodies...

this was found on a japanese blog

arch2b · #24 07-07-2009, 09:14 PM

from the same blog...
not sure if this is just another example of a new body or that we are actually getting unpainted autoscales?

Marcro · #25 07-28-2009, 03:25 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if unpainted Dnano bodies come soon as we've had theme for a while with the Z's. It would be much easier to paint from scratch than to carefully take a part a Dnano AutoScale and who wants to risk damaging a 50-60 dollar body? I hope these unpainted versions will be at least half that price. I'm in for a few.
They remind me of 1/43 scale model kit's.

keep an eye on the kyosho parts sticky post

pictures already up.

Marcro · #27 08-03-2009, 12:57 PM

Can the shop special order Dnano items?

#28 08-03-2009, 01:02 PM

White bodies would be wonderful indeed.

arch2b · #29 08-03-2009, 04:48 PM

yes, techincally, the shop can special order these from japan. in the end however your paying the shops cost to order them, import them and markup. your really in no better a position than buying them yourself from asia or via email/telephone from a hobby town.

i know david is looking into whatever options he has available however it may be a matter of waiting to see what if any limitations the exclusivity deal may have.

I'll just stick with my ebay supplier Hobby Japan. They've always been great. However they are lacking one model I'd like to get my hand's on and that's the white Subaru WRX STI model. I've e-mailed theme requesting to stock those and have not heard yet. I'm still trying to get my hands on the Porsche 911 some time soon. I was outbid on the 120 dollar one that was recently listed so, no luck yet.
