Very, very cool. The DB9R is one of my favorite cars. As for the USB charger, odd really, not really sure about the reasoning behind that.

New track, I wonder if this is the new RCP.
And a better pick of the DB9
And could it be the one i've been looking for . . . the gallardo? News to me. This particular one shown is the upcoming do it yourself version of the dnano body IE white body equivalent.

Nope, our dNaNo track is designed with carpet or RCP tiles. This track was designed and manufactured completely from the Kyosho Japan offices. It looks like a plastic composite. It also appears to be modular in fashion with straights, large radius and short radius turns by looking at the posters in the backdrop. The picture posted in this thread is the first time I have seen a picture of the track or heard about it.
I will have pictures of our dNaNo track available here in the next day or two. The Kyosho Japan track does look interesting and does resemble some features of our dNaNo track like raised inside curbs and a short rail height.
Usually when you see new products from Kyosho at a trade show, the actual product doesn't become available for at least 8 ~ 12 months. I will find out from my contacts at Kyosho, when it will be available in Japan and the US. I will also try and find out the material it is made out of and any other information about it.

I know what Kyosho has up its sleeve with that type of surface ....drifting! That would certainly boost sales in Japan, where drifting is like a national sport. I wouldn't be surprised that if we could kidnap a Kyosho engineer and get them to fess up to their long-term strategy, that this track surface was designed for multiple car setup and tire combinations.

Yeah if I could get the Gallardo in pearl orange I sure would be a happy camper
Also just wish Kyosho would start selling plain white dNano bodies already so some of us can paint as we like!!
