Incoming Inventory
today, we received a healthy shipment of Auto Scale Collection items for dNaNo & Mini-Z. for some time now, we’ve only had complete chassis sets available but considering we’re the leading location in Thailand to buy dNaNo, i felt it was necessary to stock Fitting Parts Sets & corresponding bodies for customers who would like to change their car without necessarily having to buy a new one. if you’re not aware, i’m here to inform you that your dNaNo is very specific so in order to change the body, you have to change the moving chassis as well – unlike many other r/c models before it where any body fits on a standard chassis. check the gallery to review dNaNo option parts, dNaNo Auto Scale, Mini-Z Auto Scale & Mini-Z option parts now available in the showroom at NanoTrax, Pattaya. i’ve discussed online sales directly with Kyosho and we’re clear to sell Mini-Z around the world and dNaNo in Thailand so expect online shopping to open within the next 3 months. until that time, please contact us directly by email if you want to arrange purchase of available items.
Head 2 Head (Mini-Z)
think you’ve got what it takes to battle it out on Race Course F1R? now that we have the Mini-Z IC Tag, we’re now able to offer Mini-Z for race rental (MR-02_LM Chassis, Porsche 962CLH ASC). currently, there are 2 available models so you and a friend can compete at NanoTrax at the standard Mini-Z Rental rate of 350 ThB per hour (200 ThB for dNano). place your 1500 ThB insurance/deposit per model, drive with care & earn bragging rights on F1R or F2L (Mini-Z ASC bodies are relatively easy to damage so i recommend anyone renting Mini-Z have some considerable experience with R/C racing).
New Visitors
traffic is picking up quickly at NanoTrax so i want to quickly acknowledge our most recent visitors, Chris & Cee. Max brought them in to find a new hobby and i think we turned them into instant R/C addicts. Cee tried a few dNaNo’s and settled in on the McLaren F1 GTR while Chris is stuck on the Porsche 911 GT3. i’m still waiting for my contact to deliver more chassis sets so as soon as i have them, i think they’ll make that move and join the club for some weekly club racing action. if you’re new to R/C, don’t worry! most interested folks that come in have never touched a pistol grip transmitter but quickly ease into it after only a few minutes. a desire to compete, a good attitude & a little spare cash is all you need to become our most competitive club member. up next, i’m going to produce a quick dNaNo breakdown video in Thai so check back in 3 days for an update.
we want your input on a few things, so i’ve started several new threads on the forum. as i get feedback and suggestions on our Track Rules, Member Options & Food Menu, i’ll update those threads. please take a moment to reply even if you’re not here in Pattaya. if you are, jumping on the forum will be a great way to introduce yourself to us and other R/C fans in the area. to motivate you even more, we’ll do a NanoTrax Polo Shirt Giveaway to a random member of the forum after we’ve reached 100 members. to participate, register on the blog (form text color problem in Internet Explorer has been fixed) & your forum account will be activated shortly after.
i went to the post office box today and found new body decals! thanks to James at RC-Plus.net for sending those over to us. unfortunately, the dNano bodies are too small for most of the stickers but as you can see in the small gallery, i squeezed a couple onto the side doors. it definitely helped the look since the porsche was starting to look a little beat down. at the moment, i’m waiting for an order to come in so expect a post including pics of a new model in a few days. the shop is making progress… should have some new pics of that on next post as well.
after a long wait, we’ve finally got new items into inventory. this time, we wanted to stock up on Mini-Z models for the showroom so our order consisted mostly of auto-scale bodies. next time, we’ll focus on more parts, accessories and maybe some of the newly released readysets, chassis sets and auto scale bodies. i stuck to my personal taste in body choices so i hope our customers will like the items i decided on. i’d say we’re still a bit short on opening stock but i’m so much less stressed about that now. if you’re in thailand and you’re interested in picking up any of the items before the shop opens, send us an email or use the info on our contact page.
we just received our first shipment including several models in the dNano Auto Scale Collection. due to restrictions set by our supplier (Pattaya RC/Kyosho), we cannot sell these items directly online just yet (when we can, you can expect loads of notices, updates and modifications to the site). currently, internet links or posting at auction sites is prohibited so if you are interested in buying any of these items, you’ll need to contact us by email to setup payment and shipping arrangements or if you are local to the Pattaya, Thailand area, simply setup a time to meet and make your purchase. currently, all models sell for 8,000 thai baht & the Starter Pack sells for 5,000 baht. if purchased in a combo (1 model + starter kit), your price will be 11,800 baht (see currency exchange rates at xe.com). we are currently doing inventory on the replacement and optional parts we received and will post available items within the next 48 hrs. currenty stocked models include (number in stock noted in parentheses): Porsche 917k (2), Porsche 911 GT3 (1), Porsche Carrera GT Silver (2), Porsche 962 CLH (2), Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (2), Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Yellow (2), Nissan GTR Silver (2), Subaru Impreza W6 2006 (2), Ferrari Modena Red (1), Ferrari Modena Yellow (1), Ferrari Enzo Red (1), Mazda 787B No. 55 (2).
the photos you see were taken by myself, i’m a photographer by trade so that’s the reason for the professional lighting. we picked up the drape with the NanoTrax logo printed on it today and ordered more material for the next track. version 2 will have red pvc lining and a harder black surface…. should be pretty nice. we also secured a shop location near our home fortunately but its probably going to cost us over 100k baht to move into it – OuCh!! we also plan to make the shop futuristic, clean and colorful so that may cost us another 100k or so just to get the look we want. we’re getting deep but i think it’ll be worth it. any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to send an email directory to me. more when i have it….
