yesterday, the dNaNo Silver Porsche 911 GT3, Plain Body Kits (Porsche 911 GT3, Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo) and the dNaNo Home Circuit arrived at NanoTrax. i spent the afternoon taking pics and loading everything up on the online shop. i’ve decided to have races today since we normally have a better turnout on Saturdays so if you’re on my phone, expect a text message in the next few hours ;-) and if you’re registered on the blog, expect an e-mail including a 15% discount coupon within 24 hrs.
we’ve had the current layout (appropriately named, Tight Navigation) running for a few weeks now and though it’s still a challenge, i’m looking forward to the next one. we’ll change the layout every 2-3 months and we have about a month left on this one so i’ve decided to allow our visitors (local and online) to choose what layout will be featured on our showroom circuit F1R. below, you’ll see the gallery includes 3 of 5 possible possible track layouts (view all 5 and vote for your favorite on the forum). the layout that gets the most votes will be installed on Monday, October 19 (around the same time the dNaNo Aston Martin Racing DBR9 arrives at the shop). even if you can’t come in, this is your chance to have a bit of influence on what happens and if you do come in, you’ll be able to race on a layout you helped to choose! its been kinda slow in the shop lately so my wife spent some time decorating her nails with NanoTrax keywords. check out her work along with the Mini-Z Ferrari F430 GT. i’ve got new items coming in shortly, expect an inventory update within 48 hrs. click here for the F1R Next Layout Thread – vote now to get your chance at a free NanoTrax T-Shirt.
the Audi R8 (White) arrived today bringing our available dNaNo inventory to 29 of 33 models. recently, Kyosho released the Aston Martin Racing DBR9 which will be on its way shortly to NanoTrax. if you’re interested in pre-ordering, register and once i’ve confirmed inventory, pricing and arrival dates, i’ll send an e-mail to everyone with your chance to be one of the first owners at an outstanding price. i’ve already decided to keep one for myself since its the first with the next generation battery case. there’s been a lot of anticipation about this model and i’m anxious to see how it performs. the dNaNo Home Circuit was also released and i’ll have only 2 of those in stock – if interested, you should probably be a registered subscriber for the first opportunity at our limited stock (FYI: the Kyosho IC Tag Lap Counter is already available in our online shop).
in other news, we now have a new sign outside of the shop and for the last few days, we’ve been entertaining Mai, another Porsche 911 GT3 owner. he’s in the area for work and needed a place to relax and enjoy a new hobby so we’re glad he’s chosen NanoTrax and dNaNo. check the gallery for a few “latest news” photos. last but not least, i’ve officially started writing dNaNo dIsection 3: Bearings & Diffs so expect that to be released in no more than 3-4 days (no… really, i’m serious this time!). i’m no hollywood producer but i try to keep it entertaining when discussing my nerdy interests. yes, i’m a nerd and proud of my nerdity (not to be confused with nudity but i’m kinda proud of that too). Sunday race turnout was low with only Chris & me dropping dNaNo’s on the circuit so we both bulked up an extra 5 pts. check the forum for the latest on points ranking & other dNaNo discussion.
