Dnano The mini Mini-Z 1/43 scale

Well I did not want the Z community to find out about these bad boys on the street, so here are some pics of an up coming product. Someone took some photos they were not allowed to take of these cars..... So anyway here are the photos. Enjoy. At this point I am not allowed to say anything more...LOL..... If this thread gets deleted, you will know why..LOL

So, it looks like all 4 tires are the same size now, and the rear diff has swapped sides to the left side. Given the bodyshell height, and the amount of diffuser on that 787 (I'm with Joe, it looks sick!) can we guess that these new cars are MM configuration with an Epoch-sized motor?

C'mon Tim, spill the beans.

Well, I know what I want for my birthday now...

more info...
Kyosho are at the show with a new range of 1/43rd scale mini cars, smaller than the Mini-Z, called the Dnano. As far as I’m aware the new cars havent been officially launched yet but we did spot some hidden away on a glass stand and also spotted one being run on the makeshift Mini-Z track. They look great and performance on the track looked good, at least in a straight line. Available in a number of different body types, they are controlled by the new 2.4Ghz radio system that comes with the new generation Mini-Z’s.

Thats is the hotness! Im with c0. I never liked the epoch designs, and dont have space for a proper 1/28th track at my house. This is the answer! I guess now I wont have a choice about going 2.4

They look amazing! I wonder how tunable they are.

One of 2.4ghz's "feature" that I'm most excited about is the omission of the long antenna, these 1/43 really benefit from it since they look so realistic even at such small scale.

They do look really cool. Here is my theory. Maybe these little 43rd scale cars are repackaged LIT cars. They have 2.4ghz board, cool rims and tires and a different body. Whatcha think?? Just a thought.....

That is awsome news!
It is completely new design, with integrated RFID tag and Lipo, obviously designed for racing
I can see races on a snooker table










The dNaNo is an all new car from Kyosho that is unlike anything else in RC.

>> 1/43-scale so it can easily fit in the palm of your hand.
>> Operated by a 2.4GHz radio system so there are no crystals to fuss with.
>> Each car has a built-in lap counter and each car has its own unique ID number. After a race, you will be able to review your results for the race and also bring up information on the entire life of your car.
>> Powered by a LiPo battery pack, which Kyosho told me is very safe and will not burn.
>> Optional light set will be available.
>> Ports on the chassis allow you to plug in an optional traction control unit to make the car easier to control when cornering at speed.
>> The car can be plugged into a computer so driving profiles can be customized.
>> Each car comes completely assembled and includes a chassis for display purposes that has the true to scale wheels and tires mounted on it.
>> A starter set will include the 2.4GHz transmitter, LiPo battery pack and charger. (These items are not included with the car)
>> Transmitter only requires 4AAA batteries.
>> 8 different bodies will be available, with new ones coming out each month there after.
>> The bodies look absolutely amazing with exacting detail…to the point where I can see diecast fans buying the car just for display.
