kyosho's marketing and choices in the R/C market are brilliant... they have a monopoly on both scales cuz they were brave enough to put a massive amount into R&D knowing the return would be a long term deal. there's a huge amount of model competition in 1/8th, 1/10th & 1/12th racing but the only competition in 1/28th and 1/43rd scale is in aftermarket parts. just think... mini-z has been around 10 years and kyosho STILL has no viable competition. dnano just dropped within the past 2 years. how long will it take for others to catch up if EVER? eventually, you'll have a full range of aftermarket parts that make it possible to build a dnano without touching anything 'kyosho' (just like you can with Mini-Z) but ultimately, its still a dnano. the only question is how long it will take for PN Racing, Atomic, X-Power, et al. to develop the items that make it possible.
