around 90% of forum visitors never post. for whatever reason, the most common forum member is simply a lurker. the site figures usually look good, trouble is getitng them to post always has been, always will be.

I wouldn't say there not going anywhere, I'd say there going EVERYWHERE! I think these thing's are probably the most popular so far despite their pricing. I love'em more than any other RC car right now.
I'm still waiting for the following in this same scale.

AWD Dnano
F1 Dnano, yea we have other manufacturers making cheaper F1 cars but not to this level.
Overland, hopefully AWD as well
Monster Truck, also hopefully AWD. I think the Micro-T is 1/36 scale so is bigger than 1/43 and so far only 2WD.

If an AWD Dnano can be made, the other "trucks" can be made AWD.

And i'm one of them. Because i'm new to 1:43 rc this is the best wikipedia that i could have! And because i live in the only place in the US where there's no track for rc (Touring, mini-z or whatever) or hobbyshop - manhattan - i only have this (and nanotrax) webforum...

So, keep up the good work. My Dnanos, RCP track and some hop-ups are on their way to my house. This winter i'll be ready, ehehe

Thanks

I have more interest than time unfortunately, probably the case with most dNaNo owners. I race Mini Zs as well and sometimes I have to make a choice what to race on a given week, wife not to keen on two "free" nights so to speak.

Maybe you should take on some more responsibilities for the family you know like the "Grocery Shopping" Oh and don't all the good specials come out on Tuesday LOL

I raced 1/8th scale offroad before so I think its a bargain to go racing for about $300 bucks but all I've heard is cost cost cost 95% of everyone that looks can't believe that little car cost so much. I agree with big E Kyosho needs to do something. If an average person can get into racing for about $199.00 (Car, Control, Battery, and charger as 1 unit) thats so much easier to sell than $260 plus. If it needs to be $260 maybe include like Big E said the IC cable and software. or in my opinion include something more important like the ball diff and bearings Lets face it kyosho couldn't be paying more than about .55 cents per bearing X 7 bearings ($3.85) I can buy them for that so I know they can get them for that or less. And if there paying more than a few bucks for the diff there paying too much. The bottom line is it needs to look like a better deal some how.

I little bit of bad news for us in the Mooresville/ Hickory NC area is that there is a slot car track opening in Mooresville. Now we'll also have to compete with the package deal of a flexi car controller and some extras with a tool box for about $80 And we all know with the struggling economy we'll lose lots of potential racers to that.

I don't meen to be so grim but we should all keep talking about getting the price down if we want to see this succeed maybe Kyosho will listen.
