Why aren't these available for another 3-4 months? Building inventory?
Testing to make sure they are compatible with CarPro Essence

Production hasn't even started yet. The models at SEMA were pre-production, hand-built prototypes. We are currently building the tooling, testing, etc.

IMHO - When it comes to cutting the variables are, contact patch, speed of pad against the surface, the pad/compound/polish combination, and pressure.
I think the nano works as well as it does because the contact patch is small, so the pressure is high. The nano has what, a 30mm pad? That's pretty high pressure in terms of lbs per square inch compared to the same weight or even say, 4 times, the weight applied to a 150mm pad. That's 706 square mm compared to 17,662 square mm. that means it takes 25 times as much pressure on the 150 mm pad to equal the same pressure per square inch on the 30 mm pad. I'm pretty sure people weight the nano more than 1/25 of the bigfoot. Of course, I haven't taken into account the different throws of the machines but the effective pressure difference is very big.

There are some other detailing sites already taking preorders. Come on PBMG get with the program! Let us at least know how much money to bring to the table!

Yeah i was thinking mirrors, door panel under said mirrors
Parts of bumpers and maybe would be good using it to "outline" car

Seems like the perfect tool for the sort of (spot-)correction I do, and for cleaning up certain suspension pieces a lot easier. But I'm not gonna pre-order, and I just might wait to be *certain* that the early-adaptors aren't just beta-testing a v1.0.

It is the RUPES BigFoot Nano w/ IBrid. IBrid technology is what allows the tool to run on both battery and plug-in, and it allows it to produce equal power on both modes. The BigFoot Nano is the first RUPES product to use IBrid technology.

I cannot wait for the production model either. We had a number of Nano's at SEMA, but these are all handbuilt, pre-production prototypes. The balance and performance of the production models will be improved
