ok got new tires and now it grips waaay to much....what can i do? cmon pepole please help me look at radioshack.com for the info on it...i need to drift...some guy was saying this negitve drift thing...but im not new to rc cars just to this ''drifting'' thing

freakin pepole please respond

hey why dont you wrap electrical tape (black preferably) around the tyres it will let the wheels slip abit if it is too slippery then let alittle rubber show or even half and half just trial and error really mate, go the drifters i say, i drift the 1/10 cars so much more fun driftin

good idea...its only 18.7 inches long...http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=60-4342 .....thats the site for it...i tryed tape but it slipped WAY to much...i havent tryed eletrical tape yet...

Hey if you ever need help with the xmods just contact me at my aim sn: supratwinturbo30. you need to use the tires that are hard and have no grove on them to drift. but i cant drift now cuz i have the all wheel drive kit which is only good for racing. good luck with ur rsx!

dude its not an xmod....look at the site..

i tryed this weird tape that was sitting around my house and it peeled out for 56feet!!!then the tape flewoff and it rocketed up my driveway and i chrashed lol it still works fine...where can i get hard tires for it?

Hey everyone i cant decide :frown: xmods or reg rc???????

ok well if your looking for build and customize then get an xmod...but radio shack has a car for 59 bucks that goes faster then my $100 car i bought there....if your going to get a car from radioshack get the super street RSX or vortex.....those other cars could smoke an xmod no mater what you put in it...

eletrical tape=no good...in turned with out me turing cause the gear that powers it is not in the center...where can i get new rims/tires?

Dunno, it depends...do they come off? And if they do what does the back of the wheel look like? If it has a hex shaped hole, regular rc/car wheels should fit. If not...see if the tire can be removed and take one to a hobby shop and find a tire that looks to be about the same size.

Generally, when you buy an RC car from Radio Shack or Toys-R-Us, you really can't do anything to them...once they break...toss them. Lately I have noticed that some of their RC cars are starting to resemble their more expensive cousins with the same type of wheels and such, but usually you can't adjust/mod anything (not without electronics knowledge, expensive parts and pretty much gutting the car).

But try the wheel thing...just don't guess on the size of the tire and mail order anything...go to your local hobby shop with the tire and find some the right size. Also for drifting...stay away from soft tires with lots of grip...the harder the better.

:biggrin:

I just lokked at the owner's manual on the link you provided and I think you might be able to go to the hobby shop and get some wheels. It looks like the industry standard hex nut that the wheel goes onto. Heck, looking at it, you might be able to get different springs and such...not sure what else without either having the car infront of me or seeing pictures of the car with the body off.

:biggrin:

i will try to get some pictures of the body off up....the wheels are 2and3/8 inches...i already put an axle extender with monster tires on it....but does any sites sell them? cause the local hobbie shop when outta busines...

how fast does that thing go.

the site says 1300 feet per minute...but i have a really good battery pack so myne goes like 1400-1500....you figure out the mph...it can beat all toy class cars..and it kept up with my friends evader...so its pretty good for 100 bucks i guess...

i just got the yellow skyline and motor 2 bodykit and the lights. i was on ebay and some guy mad a motor for the zmods says it is the fastes out their so i am going to get it i will tell u if it is fast

not that im trying to be rude but this is not an xmod tread....my rsx is NOT an xmod....

how about wearing them down some how, my friend has one and we were in the wet and he was drifting, maybe sand them down so there is no traction on them, and i was looking to get a r/c what kind should i get and were are they cheapest at?

well....if you want to upgrade then you need a hobbie car.....but radio shack has this car called vortex, for 59 bucks it goes 1500fpm....witch is the best you can get 59 bucks

get rubber tyres, on smooth concrete. with a bit of practice you should drift it.

LOL everyone thinks its an Xmods LOL hahaha thats funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Fill out the survey so we can get them to come to your location. And if you live outside of a major city let them know in the comments.

you cant attach pics, you havent been able to for a long while. however you can upload them to the AF pic server ( the url eludes me at the moment) or use some other web hosting website. Then use the img command wiht the url to post the pic. Look in you rmanual, there may be a number you can call to get replacement parts, but they will only have replacement parts.

JUst so you know, 1300 fpm is 14.8 mph 1500 is 17.5 mph. if you got a battery from radio shack, i seriouslly doubt there would be any increase in speed. Those would just be more capictiy. only matched packs would offer more voltage than other packs, and those cost more than ur r/c vehicle. On a last note, you can still customize them, and i have a truck from toys r us that will smoke that. its well over 20 mph, and im fairly sure its at 25. Retail is 40 on it too.

Please dont resurect.
