Dnano Karts

[KChinn]

Anyone here anything about these being made available outside Japan? I wish i knew someone inside japan lol. These thinks would be awesome if i could get my hands on 3-5 of them. I have family that race real karts and they would be fun on my home circuit. I know at first it was just a guy doing it for his friends, but was hoping he kept making them or changed his mind to make more to sell. I know they auctioned one off awhile back, but I missed it. Kyoshosan was able to get some. I'd really like to get some of these to get me through the new release drought we are in from Kyosho. Some of you creative guys on here able to make these?

where's the link to the shop in japan? i know a guy there now but not sure if he's close...find more info on the shop where their making them and let's see if he can help us out

The place that had them is SRC or Suitengumae Circuit in Japan. I think that is also the name of the city, but could be wrong. They have a healthy group of customization / innovation coming out of this place. Another thing I saw that I thought was very cool is this picture attached. I used to race 1/12 road course as well, and this style of body interests me too. I wish there was more information on where to get this. It was on Kyoshosan's blog.

Here is basically what I'm looking for, however I wish they would come painted as I'm not creative at all. It looks like they make NASCAR style along with these karts.

I'm still looking for more info on these... I know SRC is selling them now but they keep saying they are sold out.... I want one of those pan car bodies too... They really need to expand their sales and distribution

The pan car looks really sweet if it is adapted to an RM chassis. The kart looks to be a poor handler (hi mount motor and top heavy body, literally) LOL!

i think they are totally a novelty item meant to be run/raced at relatively low speeds. it's 'cute' but we're spoiled with extreme speed @ nanotrax
