i’ve been informed that the ‘DSP’ in ‘SSG-DSP’ should be ‘DPS’ and ‘DPS’ stands for ‘Damper Plate System’. does this mean i have to do my video all over again? no worries, i’ll try to do a bit more detailed, thorough research before my next one. one thing i do know is how to install it and since the X-Power SSG-DPS doesn’t come with instructions, browse thru this gallery for a step-by-step tutorial:
Olaf recently decided to add a new dNaNo Audi R8 to his collection but instead of dropping a complete ASC Body, he went with the R8 Body Kit. neither of us are professional airbrush artists, but we both have a love for this little car. if you recall, i made 2 attempts at mimicking Leonardo Da Vinci by painting a Porsche 911 GT3 and Lamborghini Gallardo Body Kit). here’s a few pics of his completed, uniquely painted R8. i think he did a pretty good job and i especially like his custom built spoiler. have you painted a body kit? if so, post pics of it on the forum!
on Wednesday, we welcomed Doug (AUS) who joined our club almost immediately after a few test runs on F1R. he picked up the Lamborghini Gallardo and a full assortment of option parts in preparation for our upcoming club race. today, he was in for practice and decided to add the X-Power SSG-DSP Kit i mentioned in my most recent YouTube update. that video has got everyone asking: ‘which dNaNo can have the Damper Kit installed without cutting a hole in the body?’ – if your car isn’t in the list below, this means you have to cut a hole in your ASC body to install the damper. those listed, do NOT need cutting for the damper to fit. FYI, the damper kit can’t be installed on any dNaNo with an HM Chassis so, sorry Lancia Delta HF Integrale owners! i’ve also posted a few pics of how i’ve cut my Mazda 787b No.55 Mazda Racing ASC body (the latest incarnation). my next few posts will be on our forum so check there for the latest race reports, product info, feedback and more. holla later!

the sign goes up!
the sign is up but its not quite ready. our contractor seems to have sub-contracted a sign-maker who isn’t familiar with the methods needed to get the desired sign type we were all expecting. eventually, he’ll handle it i’m sure. i’m pretty confident he’ll insure everything is as we expect. i haven’t taken any pics of the shop lately because its a horrible mess & most often, the front doors are closed. additionally, we’ve been working on the track tiles & decided to go with the red flooring on the showroom floor since it looks to be more impressive. now that the sign is up, i’m sure we’ll be attracting some curious passer-bys and if you’re one of them, feel free to stop by to say hi & if we’re in, we’ll be glad to greet you. if you’re not familiar with the area, check out the Nayada Property Pattaya website for more detailed graphics of their project. our new NanoTrax Business Card also has a map on the back if you’re still having a hard time with the location. cards should go to the printer tomorrow assuming we can find one with the skills to put out the quality of work expected.
this week, security cameras, mounted flat monitors & hanging track lighting should go up & we should be well on our way to laying down the showroom track. don’t forget to register & visit the NanoBoards Forum where we hope to build a large community of ex-pats in Thailand who enjoy R/C. also, expect to see the breakdown on membership packages, racing schedules & achievement categories we’ll track at our shop. our goal is to create a place for fun-filled competition & an atmosphere that encourage customers to visit often & relax with us while we enjoy this great hobby. if you’re in the states, you like dNano & want to race, visit RaceDNano.com for information on track locations & car registration. i’m in Thailand, but i’m excited for everyone at home who will now get to enjoy mini rc just as we are.
