Equivalent scale speed of 700 km/h! First ever circuit system linked to the WEB!
Enjoy real racing experience with immaculate scale form.

Incredibly detailed miniature cars look just like 1/43 scale replicas. dNaNo revolutionizes the world of micro motor sports with its breathtaking realism and advanced circuit system. Kyosho innovation results in a newly developed chassis that clones the scale dimensions of the original car. Achieves both advanced racing performance as well as scale realism. But the surprises don't end there. What makes the dNaNo an generational shift is the amazing circuit system linking a special circuit to the dNaNo Server, providing the owner with total visibility and control of the performance. By registering the car and entering the special circuit, the dedicated ID assigned to the IC tag on each car during production links to the circuit and starts measuring lap times. While displaying your data on the circuit display, all dNaNo circuits are networked to the dNaNo Server, which automatically gets updated with your lap times. You can access this webpage from your PC. This amazing WEB link system made possible with the dNaNo provides you with a deeper involvement with your racing machine and its performance, bringing you closer to the racing experience than ever before.

Fine details specific to each car such as the wheelbase, tread, tires and wheels realize an amazing finish similar to that of diecast car collectables.

All cars equipped with an IC tag that requires no power supply. Unique ID on each tag automatically records lap times when used on the special race circuit, and even calculates the estimated circuit usage costs. Lap times improvement targets can be easily measured against in real time.

The ASF 2.4GHz unit is installed on the 1/43 size chassis. Suspension system features king pin and coil on front with a swing plate on rear to deliver the performance expected of a racing model. In addition, the spacers can be used on the rear section for precision tread adjustment.

King pin is positioned as far inside the wheel as possible to realize almost zero scrub so tire movement is minimized while maintaining the realistic appearance of the wheel arch. Direct steering feel is still achieved at the same time.

Lithium Polymer battery (sold separately) is positioned inside the upper deck. In addition, an expansion connector allows optional gyro, light unit and I.C.S. interface to be connected and used.

The coreless motor delivers sharp acceleration and is built into the rear unit with the 3-bevel gear differential. Tread can be adjusted with spacers without removing wheels. Eccentric cam adjuster allows easy adjustment of the gear backlash.

Ergonomic design contributes to even better performance from the 2.4GHz MINI-Z.
Advanced stylish design matches the performance of high-end transmitters.

As soon as it is switched on, the KT-18 transmitter automatically starts scanning the frequency spectrum for open bands, eliminating the need to check your band or use crystals and allows up to 40 cars to be run at the same time. Combined with the 2.4GHz MINI-Z Racer chassis, the fastest processing speed ever produces incredible response. And it is amazingly easy to use. Simply register the transmitter to the chassis the first time you use it to complete pairing. As pairing is almost a completely automated process, only a few simply steps need to be completed. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip with each part exquisitely shaped so fingers wrap around the wheel to realize a more natural driving style. In addition, the energy efficiency of the lightweight and compact design uses only four AAA-size batteries. The lightweight and optimal center of gravity allow for long driving times with minimal strain. Functionality is equal to that of high-end transmitters such as independent setting of throttle end points and left/right steering volumes. With future developments in mind, the KT-18 is also equipped with extended terminals. One KT-18 transmitter can be used with multiple 2.4GHz MINI-Z chassis so if you add machines to your collection, you can use the same transmitter. The ASF 2.4GHz PERFEX KT-18 represents a new generation in radio control systems.

■What is the Mini-Z Racer MR-015HM chassis?■
Almost zero rear overhang! Realistically replicates hatchback car design!

The MR-015 chassis, ideal for narrow body styles, has been modified for minimal rear overhang into the short MR-015HM. The motor has been lifted onto the rear axle in a high-mounted style and the short wheelbase with the narrow tread allows bodies with no rear room to fit nicely. For example, it is ideal for compact cars like the BWM Mini. Also, the motor sitting on top of the rear axle delivers improved traction and gives the car its zip and sharp controllability.

The short wheelbase allows compact cars with no rear overhang to be reproduced to amazing accuracy.

Maintenance-friendly with one-touch removal of snap-lock tie rods around the top bridge.

Smooth stroking front suspension with kingpin and coil system. (Explanation of rear suspension to be included).

Rear suspension features swing-type T-bar system with shock absorber.
