dNano PAN CAR BODY!

It would be cool if either PN or Atomic came out with a dNano version of their Pan car Bodies which they now produce for the Mini-Z. Probably they'll need to do it for the widest & longest configuration chassis just like it's the case with the Z's. This would instantly create a new racing class if the driving characteristics are going to be similar to what it is in their current size. it would also put more X power motors in use...probably will develop as a good mod/racing class with all cars in the same configuration with gobs of down force in the right places hopefully. Having said all that no substitute for ASC when it comes to "cool" factor.

why just do a pan car body? why not do a pan car chassis in 1:43 scale and release it to compete with dnano?

The steering servo and servo saver would be the problem, as it is with the 1:28 MRCG.

as interesting as it sounds, i think the lm series suits those need just fine.

i never liked the pan car bodies anyway, having owner both the atomic and pn versions.

given the small niche these occupy i don't see anyone investing the time and money to design, prototype and release anytime soon. could be wrong, there could be some wealthy person looking to expend vast quantities of money.

yeah, i think R&D cost is the prohibitive part of creating a competitive alternative. 1/43rd scale racing hasn't caught on enough for the 'big players' to take notice and make the leap into the market. but, if the 1:28 sinister can be used as a comparison for Mini-Z, it shouldn't be that difficult to duplicate it for the dNaNo.... or is that just wishful thinking?

keep in mind the mini-z has been around for 10 years now, i've been racing them for 9. only in the last couple years have true aftermarket, mass produced chassis kits become available. the sinister isn't even widely used in the us either. we have domestic favorites such as the mrcg. there are several entries into the 1:24 slot however those have never proved popular here either.

i just don't think the economics for 1:43 are there yet.
