I wonder if the nano comes pre-built and presented the way it does in the picture.

No…assembly required.

 I hope the wood is seperate from the model so i can put it next to my Vortex peice, my arrow dynamics wheel, and my huss breakdance bolt. I wish theyd sell sections of track, supports, bolts, ect. seperate by themselves with a COA, just like they did with Vortex and Son of Beast. That would go perfect in my collection!!

According to someone's favorite reporter at WCPO , the nano is assembly required.  And they didn't tag it as Crime like they did The Bat, but as Don't Waste Your Money.

Is the wood seperate from the nanocoaster? So i can put it with my ride parts, and so i can put the nano with the rest of my nanocoasters.

It’s sold out now…

^Don bought them all

I wonder if they are completely/forever sold out…or if they just didn’t manufacture/cut all that they could have with the wood that they saved, maybe they were just testing the waters to see how much demand there was.
(The site didn’t mention a particular number of pieces that they were selling.)

Edit: It’s back in stock. 

Edit: Sold out again at the moment.

One of several news articles about the blog about The Racer Nanocoaster.

I said what I said and meant what I said.

So I've been checking the website for these Racer structure pieces to become available again.  Every day it has said "sold out" until today when instead the page gives a 404 not found error.  So seems like they are not being re-stocked.

However, I went to the merchandise website and poked around and found this, which I believe is new.

A correction on my previous post.  The KI blog announced The Racer (and Beast) pens back in December 2021.  So they are not new, maybe just re-stocked.

At least the nano coaster is accurate.  The version of Thunder Road is missing hills and has the station beside the lift hill.
