Re: some XMODS stuff i did

I don't know how he did the wheels but it looks like he cut out a few pieces of plastic which are the same length and scwered them into the on end of the fram and the other part where the wheels are and added a piece to stiffen it up. And then he might of had to make the driveshaft longer. but i don't know. The wheels looks like he drilled a hole though them and made a half circle in them too to make the wheels spin on the axle. I think that is all.

Re: some XMODS stuff i did

Ahh yes

To make your x-mod go quicker you must
1.) Have an x-mod
2.) You need a cannon
3.) You need to pust some black powder in the cannon
4.) Insert the x-mod
5.) Light the cannon and run
6.) Pick up what ever is left of the said x-mod


Sorry had to do it.

Re: some XMODS stuff i did

o this reminds me, today i was at radioshack just wonderin' around, and looked at xmods, and the clerk said ou like these? they're pretty fast, and i said naw, i've got a mini-z and it just kills these, and he said, ya thats why you get upgrades, and then i said i could race mine stock and it would be pretty close, if not, faster with one of these modified, and then he said, well you can put bodykits on these, then i said, ya but i've seen them with the kits and they look ugly, it was pretty funny.

Well Xmods arent that bad and their a cheap way to make ur models be remote control. Also my xmods with all the mods i got was still cheaper than a new mini Z would cost in holland where i live.

Thats true. But the x-mods are good for their price. The streeing is a little weird for me. The controler seems to slack off for me. I guess im to used to my bigger RC's and there components.
