yeah, i had that problem on the rear air ducts as well... that's the reason for the change. definitely go with the ball diff as quickly as possible arch. there's no way to explain the volumes of difference it will make for this car.

have you tried sanding the edges up to allow them to slide vs. grasping? i was thinking of doing this. i do it to my mini-z's and it helps.
i can't help but stare at this thing. it's soo tiny but so detailed and cool looking.

checked and my skylines have 20 wheels so i borrowed a pair to try out and i found the front wheel to hit the back of the light bucket. these are alumatech wheels with stock tires. are pn tires any thinner or less rounded i guess i should say as the kyosho tires are much like the old mini-z tires that are slightly rounded, before they switched to 'flat' tires that are common today.
the first picture shows the aluminum wheel on the right hitting the light bucket. the second picture shows the stock wheel on the left does not.

anyone want to take a guess at how long it will be before pn makes a diff? i'm just guessing but it's only logical pn will offer just about whatever atomic does given their competitive nature. this is why i believe they would make a disc damper.

Hi,
Talked to Philip and he said that there are no plans other than a rear damper kit. I'll add in "for now" myself as with any manufacturer, everything is driven by demand. With the way things are going at my track, dNaNo is definately going well. Who knows what the future holds?
IMO, forget diff, I'd like to see more alloy upgrades. Alloy tools would be nice too, i.e. pinion gear tool, etc...

Thanks Mini-D, but those don't have the alloy bits I was thinking. More like pinion tool, etc...
BTW, I have all that stuff already and carry it in my shop. Love it. Expensive, but nice.

yes, i have the pn wheels for mini-z's as well  mine will end up looking much like Qon's only without the trick lights  i do have alumatech wheels in 20 size for my skylines which i should put on for pictures at least.
off topic-
i will purchase the kyosho screwdriver simply because my fingers are too big for the stock tool but the rest is highway robbery. i refuse to pay that much for tools. it's only a matter of time before the correct sizes are identified in other lines that are far more affordable. pn and others also offer tools and may release ones for dnano. just need to ask  (many people to ask)
i was thinking the same thing re: pn motor mount. i'd sign up for that. atomic makes very good motor mounts as well however i never liked blue bits.

i think the tools are expensive as well but... i do have to say there's a definite difference in the quality of both the screwdriver and the tweezer. anyone who knows anything about tools knows truly GOOD tools are not cheap and i think that's what they had in mind but yes, it would be cool if they were cheaper. another thing i don't stock much cuz of the price
