Dnano Protection Boxes
 

Hello there. Last year when I was heavily racing the Mini-Z's, I had purchased a few of Atomic's protection boxes for them and I liked having them a lot. They were very useful for carrying your cars to your club's racing track.
I just e-mailed Atomic to ask them if they'd make the same thing for the Dnano's. Who knows what they'll do.
So, I thought about looking into making my own. Shouldn't be too hard to do.
Who else would be interested in a special protection box for their Dnano's?
Think it's something to look into? Would you buy one?
I'll be heading to my local shipping store tomorrow and see if they have the right sized box for it and go from there.

i'm sure some will buy them but a waste of cardboard for me. i already have a travel pit box that carries everything i need. more boxes would just be more boxes.

i could have sworn there was a kyosho aluminum breif case for the dnano that i saw on some japanese site. that seems like a better investment as you can carry the car, tx and parts, etc.

I think I saw something like that too but can't remember when/where and exactly what it was for. It would be nice to have an all in one box. I also have a pit box that the Dnano's fit snugly in the top shelf, but I still like the idea of the protection boxes. I found the ones for the Mini-Z very useful especially when it all fit nicely inside my pit box and protected the cars a lot more than having them loose in the box.

You can tailor this to your liking.Should work fine for radio charger and a couple of cars.

Here is mine its the one I posted above.room for 5 or 6 cars still at least. And only $25.00.Excuse the mess its a crowded hobby room.

It's a nice box arch, but I'd need one that could hold half a dozen Nano's! LOL!
I got e-mail back from Atomic last week stating that they got my request and they will look into it. So we'll see what they come up with for these Dnano's.

what i like about the one on the dnano site is that it looks to be the size of say a 15-17" laptop, smaller than a breifcase. this is appealing in that your taking with you something that doesn't necessarily need a table to sit on.

pointless in my case as i travel with all my rc's in one travel box. i do like the appeal of traveling small and lite though.

is there anyway a helios transmitter would fit in that case?
Task Force
6" x 13" Cassic Tool Case

I think one of the guys I'll be racing with is using is one I will check on it tonight and post tonight or tomorrow on my findings first thought is that it will but I will let you know for sure.

I see two problems with the case, as nice as it is. I don't see pockets for the battery, and you don't want to leave the battery mounted in the chassis.
And, some of us by now, have more than one Dnano RC car and that look's like it was only made for just one car. I need something that can comfortably fit at least four! :D
I certainly wouldn't want four of those cases!
I just hope Atomic makes those boxes I mentioned. I sure enjoyed having the Mini-Z ones when I went racing.

the one nitro posted looks like it could hold more than reasonably needed. you don't need pockets for batteries, just cut small slots and stick them in like pigs in a blanket :)
i have a helios though and would need something that can hold that tx.

If the removable panel in the lid is removed the Helios would most likely fit but it is going to be close.If the steering wheel is in the stock location it seems to make it a slimmer(from back to front of steering wheel) TX.You guys have to excuse me as far as my concern to number of cars I'm able to carry. I was a slotcar guy for a long time and was used to having 20+ cars with me most of the time.I might have a little OCD..

My point exactly, I have three Dnano's and possibly considering a fourth one soon. So I too need something that could comfortably carry all four.
I don't have a helios, just the simple basic KT-18.

Dude, don't buy a 4th dnano, get a Helios and a module. It is a totally night and day difference on the experience. Well worth the money. No to mention multiple model memory for your other cars.
