Hmm, nice. Now we have more options and some nice looking wides! I wonder what else those clever chaps are going to come up with. I like what they've done to the Z's. What will they have for the D's?

you can clearly see the differance and see that the stock tires are terrible !!!
the pn tire completly fit the rim .on the iside of the tire is 1 mm hollow so it fit the rim totally
now i am going too test them on the track

[Marcro]

Look's nice! Are those the stockers or aluminum wheels? Look's like the alloy's in there. I need to get me a set of those tires as the stock ones don't fit my alloy's very well either much like in your first picture.
Second picture look's much better, and look's like it'll provide better grip and handling. Let us know how testing goes and if the tires are actually worth having?
I might have a few buck's left over in my P.P. account to get these tires.

...finally, an aftermarket part for the d'nano that got it right. They look a little thicker than the stock tires also? Any chance of a side photo so we can see how they look?

[patrick38]

the rims are the stock ones ,i need to by some alloys
the handling of the car is way better .on the straight and corners , you have more rubber on the track :) i drive on a rcp mini 96
here is a picture of the side of the car

and sometimes when i was cornering and hit the side wall the front tire came of, yea yea i know i have to practice more :)

Some video's would be cool if you have the means.

[lornecherry]

...someone needs to tell Kyosho that tires are round. :(I almost pruchased an expensive tire truer, because of so many problems with the stock tires. (It appears they make the rubber too thin, and then to get a good fit you must over-stretch and thus deform the tires to get them on the rims).

With the stock tires, hard cornering on high traction surfaces usually results in displacement of the rubber, or worse, a front tire comes completely off. The softer the rubber (lesser degree) the more pronounced the problem. And trying to glue little tires like this is a lesson in frustration as it results in one section of the tire being firmer than the other.

[patrick38]

yea the stock kyosho tires are crap , that a company like them sells the dnano whith that . i don,t no about the other tires from kyosho are they also that bad ??? the back of my car is stil a litle tail happy but i ordered almost every option there is , so when that arives i will put on the ball dif first and go from there

What else can I expect from a Ferrari driver? :D

[patrick38]

lol marco
in the future i get another dnano
mayby a enzo :) ferarri rules :)

[Marcro]

I'd get the F-40, it'll go nicely with the Modena. I can't stand the Enzo my self. But, everybody has their own taste!

[patrick38]

hehehe i was just kidding , i like that green lambo to and the porshe 911 gt3 the f40 is nice as well but o no i wand them all :) :)

I had the opportunity to test PN's new dNaNo tires back in May. Philip and I tested a variety of different tires on RCP. I am using 15 deg in the rear and 50deg in the front. Works very well on my home Mini-96 and the Enzo.

never did get to see any pn tires... is 15/50 the best setup for a new rcp or old? it really does make a difference.

[MrNanoTrax]

MAJOR difference in size... thicker, wider and EVEN :D

[patrick38]

yea this is the way the tires should look like , don,t no why kyosho is selling the dnano whith those tires, do the other tires from kyosho look the same ??

[Marcro]

Speaking of PN, they have been kind enough to show me some interesting designs of their own for aluminum wheels. However, I promised to keep the designs a secret! I can say this though, the designs look very cool! :D
