HI i want to ask some questions. Firstly how did u get the rims onto the axles? Also can you make a tutorial on how to streach the wheel base of an Xmods?

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.

Steve, we need to turn into bash brothers now that we're in an XMod thread.

True. Very true.

True. Very true.
I will start by saying, "I dont think those rims have enough spokes."
Steve, its your turn. Post your recipie for a fast XMod. Then thats it, thats all the fun we can have in hi-jacking a thread. :evillol:

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.

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.

Yeah i know what you mean. I tried to use my 1/10th scale cars controler and it didnt work. I guess they use a different code. Im thinking of opening up the controler and sticking stifer springs in there so i get a bit more feel.

Do you have a 27Mhz AM radio. They should work then. I might try it with the one from the maxx.
molina_aitor
05-04-2004, 03:28 PM
Yeah its 27mhz. But i think that the code that all the "real" rc radios use a diferent code than the one the xmods use. But go ahead and try it. It will greatly improve the feel of the car.

05-04-2004, 03:30 PM
I will. I'll be back in five i guess or so. Going to do it now.
Howielong
05-04-2004, 07:46 PM
Umm it didn't work. The car was uncontrolable. So i guess it is the stock one for now.

I hope to God English isn't your first language, and have you even owned one of these cars? People say X-mods are shitty because they are, I got one as a gift and it was on ebay within a couple weeks. I've never owned a mini-z so I can't speak for them, but they would have to be pretty damn bad to be worse than x-mods.
