Kyosho Dnano U.S. Release Coming Soon...
Hey Guys - I have been in contact with Hobbytown through e-mail the past couple of days - The Kyosho Dnano's should start popping up at your local Hobbytown stores in the next couple of weeks - IF they were interested in supporting them...You just have to call around, ask questions, and show some interest. Some stores jumped on it and will know exactly what you are talking about, others didn't and probably won't have a clue what you are talking about??? I e-mailed the Hobbytown in IL mentioned in one of the threads below and was told that they had just gotten a shipment in and to call them to make a purchase. You will have to pay shipping, but they can and will do a mail order for you. Do some searching - I am sure there are more out there to be found...Good luck...

Hello everyone,
The dNaNo project is a project that we have been working on for quite some time now. It was getting to the point where it unusual for all of us to get home at a reasonable time instead of working long after business hours. But all of our hard work has paid off. We are setting up HobbyTown locations with tracks and cars faster than we ever imagined. By this time next week we should have over five locations. HobbyTown stores have been waiting very patiently and we greatly appreciate that. Now it’s show time. If there is a HobbyTown in your area that is interested, please let me know. I am doing everything that I can on my end. You have to remember that I’m just one guy and there are a lot more of you. We can work together and make this huge. Just to give you an idea of how much work we put into this project check out this site http://racednano.com/. Please feel free to post any questions.

I sent out a mass email to the HTUSA locations in my area. I just got 2 replies. The HTUSA in Greensboro, North Carolina doesn't have the indoor facilities to accommodate an indoor track, but is still considering carrying dNaNo parts. However, the HTUSA in Mooresville, North Carolina has plans to carry everything dNaNo and build a dNaNo track. Mooresville is a bit of a drive, but I'm not being too picky at this point. Just a little good news for dNaNo owners in NC.

Booo....Greensboro is closest to me, and Yay....Mooresville isn't too far to go for some 1/43 scale fun...I look forward to coming to whichever Hobbytown local to me has anything Dnano - or anything parking lot racing related - hint, hint, hint...

Thanks for the update Deven! I think everyone will have a lot of input, complaints, ideas etc. that they want to share, but for now, let's all just congratulate the Kyosho team for finally getting these to the US! The racednano.com site looks like it has a lot of potential. Is there really a public track at Kyosho America HQ (listed as a store under locations!)?

Hey guys, new to the site here. I work at HTU Mooresville and this morning is the first I heard we were going to carry the Dnano. Searching google for more info (since I'd never heard of them) I ran across this thread. Apparently we will be getting them and will have a track, but no idea when exactly (obviously). I'll update you as I find out more.

Just spoke breifly with my boss on the phone. The track will take up roughly a 12x12' area and we're going to try and race three nights a week.
