So, I assume these are going to work with the Core System without a problem? They are too cool!!!

it's about time we finally see some results from core integration, if indeed this is what is happening. this should be stock with every mini-z chassis btw i'm willing to bet that is the next step.

The good thing about this, is that being 2.4ghz, the Core system will no longer make the cars glitch over the timing loop. Good stuff.

White bodies

I hope Kyosho release white bodies for this scale. The bodies look top notch like what I've become accustomed to from Kyosho.

It would be mint to, say, have a league of GT cars... or whatever.

Very cool. Hope the RFID is compatible with the CORE system.

if the lit was any measure as to the cost of developing a smaller car, your going to find it more expensive than current mr-02's however maybe more in line with the 2.4 cars perhaps. either way, don't count on these being cheap. i would love to be surprised and wrong but the lit really threw us for a loop regarding cost.

I do hope it works with the original loop.

It would also be cool if core would publish access to the counter logic so we could bolt on more sophisticated counting software.

But I'll take what I can get. Any word on when these come out? did I miss that one?

This is way cool Tim. I'm already planning the mini-track in my garage so I can work on my mid week racing fix.

there are going to be VERY unhappy core customers if the new tags are not compatible with the existing hardware. i can undestand kyo's point if they are not but that being said, it would alienate an already large population of core users. lets not get to carried away with speculation at this point though.

these will indeed take home racing to the next level! i'm envious of all those who purchased mini-96 tracks. i really need to remember who has mine? let someone use it years ago and simply forgot about it.

again, these are everything the lit should have been.

LOL, yea, I had a TON of that 96 track. But I sold it off last year. Now I wish I hadn't.

But... I'm thinking of laying out a big square of blanks, then just laying the RCP railes on top to make the layout.

I'm sure RCP is already dream in up cool ideas for these little cars.

My thoughts exactly! Couldn't really have done w/out the other, so this is the perfect fusion of these new technologies!

Same/Compatible 2.4ghz as the new 2.4ghz Mini-Z?

Hopeing to get away with using the TX from the 1/43 starter set on a Z? Same TX maybe? These might sell instead of transmitters. A good way to get more people to adapt to 1/43...

I can see the introductory sale, Buy a 2.4ghz Mini-Z and get a Dnano for the same price as a 2.4ghz Transmitter.
