how does this process involve the registering of your dnano on the dnano website?
what are the implications of purchasing your dnano online (outside htu channels)? i do not intend to do this but there has not been any clear information put forth on this whole process yet.

As mentioned earlier, some HTU's will ship stuff to you. The reason for not allowing e-stores is this: For obvious reasons, they do not allow separate franchises within a certain distance from each other. They would have to fight for business. For the same reason, you can't sell online. IE, A customer in Chicago would be able to buy from Mooresville, for whatever reason, instead of shopping locally at the Chicago location. Having this restriction guarantees a customer base that has no other option, and this adds value in the eyes of the franchisee.
As for registration, I believe you do not have to do it at the time of purchase. From what I have been told, its $30 a year, and based on each chassis' unique RFID number. If you buy a car that has not been registered, and have it shipped, you should be okay....and should be able to register it at any time. My question to you is, if there isn't a local HTU track to race on, why do you care? Now, if you're just talking about warranty registration, I don't have an answer for you. Haha
I do not know how the registration process works; KyoshoAmerica will have to chime in on that until I've had one of these cars out of the box and gotten some experience with it.
