Anyone tried one of these? I'm thinking of getting one or two for the nano.

I have been thinking the same thing... but I dont have a nano yet. Although, Im getting very close to getting one and the track (as long as I can clear it by my room-mate).

Thanks. I am anxiously waiting. Whether I get a Dnano and the track depends entirely on your review (no pressure)
FYI, the link in the first post doesnt come up with anything related to the track... http://infinitrax.com/
I read that it is 1/64 scale... I think it would be similar to using a 1/18 car on an RCP track... Runnable, but not much room for error (which is why I think it would make a GREAT practice track).

Your purchase is based on my review? lol My driving skills are rusty at best so maybe no vids straight away. I agree tho practicing on a tight track can only improve skills.
I changed the link in the first post to a pic instead.

Check for "1080: the Beast" The track is considerably more pieces, for a marginal increase in price. Two of the L tracks will cost more than the larger track that has about 3x the amount of track...
This is the track I am talking about...

I stumbled on this roll up track.. I can't seem to find it actually for sale anywhere, and it doesn't have barriers, but I think a roll-up track has a lot of advantages....
What other surfaces might work for dNaNo?

the infinitrax looks tiny on the video,if only they made it a touch wider.
we have the dnano track here at the shop but its too cold to drive on (hardly any grip)
im going to make a mini version of the omotsando for the gadget show using thin carpet

Matt, what video have you seen with the Infinitrax? What is the general turning radius for the Dnano?

found this one. dont know if its the same video m2k is talkin about?
but yea, def looks tiny.
Even the 1080 Beast can't be much bigger, track lanes seem to be the same width.
kryten let us know!

In the UK we can only get the one i pictured Amazon.com have all the different kits,but shipping to the uk works out as much as the track itself.

The track arrived this morning,it's good quality and the pieces fit together well.The grip levels are very good too.I think it could do with being a inch or two wider,however you can get a nano around it . I found that if you make a hairpin(two corners together) the nano will only just get around it. To make hairpins easier i fitted a half straight in between it,which makes it a lot easier to get around.
Here is a pic of the nano sat on the track,to get an idea of track size compared to the car,and a pic of my first setup using two 540 shred kits.
It's quite tight,but after about 10 mins i was getting around a lap without hitting anything,even tho i was going quite slow.
Overall i'm pretty happy with it so far,having a track this narrow can only improve my driving.
