DRIFTING XMOD OR Micro rs4

Im Plannig On Buying A Xmod This Upcoming Week Or A Micro Rs4. Im Only Buy One To Messing Around With Them In House Nothing Serious. I Was Wondering Which Rc Car Can Drift Better Or If They Can Drift At All? And If They Can Drift Is There Anything I Might Have To To Do Make Them Drift.

get the micro rs4, you should be ashamed to even put those cars on the same level, the xmods are horrible.

You Really Didnt Answeer My Question . I Jus Wanna If They Can Drift And If So What Would I Have To Do To Get Gthem O Drift

To make it simple, I will say this. Xmods are crap. They can spin out of control if you call that drifting.

Get the RS4 they are so much better...search the word Xmods and see how many hate posts you get.

ok, your question's answer is, the rs4 is great, you'll be able to rap electrikal tape around the tires and drift right away, or you can put pvc or abs pipe on the rims, you will be able to drift stock, just not as well, i tihnk you may wanna stiffen the chassis, and get a high torque motor, after that get stiffer springs, and you should be just about set

how much do the rs4s cost?

I have an XMOD and it may not be the best out there but it certainly is fun to mess around with in the house. To answer your question, yes you can drift the XMOD. You just need the AWD upgrade and tape up the wheels and it's very easy.

you can drift it, but it looks like shit, plus the micro rs4 is just a better choice, more expensive, but will last a lot longer than the shithole xmods

rs4 is $150 as kit, RTR i tihnk is 200$

im making a video with my xmod quit hatting lol x mods are nice if u take care of them but may i suggest u get a real rc car like a losi-xxxs

You Got A Link To The Video Or Something?

Xmods Are Good for kids on a low Budget. If i was 3 years younger, i would probally purchase a xmod because, Too young, Not able to get a job.

Now if your a Teen, Then its good to get a REAL RC.Good experiance at a young age. Some kids just dont have the money to spend on these high dollar toys.

not yet i need to work on my car i had an accident lol o well ill try to get it on sometime this week

1. You can drift the XMOD perfectly
2. XMODS are not "shitholes" :rolleyes: they are decent for their price

all i've seen xmods do is break, a friend of mine got his, and it never ran straight out of the box, so he took it back and got another, and it still didn't work, finally the third did, but it broke later on, yes i think they're shitholes

Time to wake up from your pretty dream.

How am I dreaming? I have an XMODS and I was able to drift it perfectly with tape on the wheels and the AWD upgrade.

Oh wait, you're right. I did all this in my sleep :screwy:

They dont drift, they slide. Theres a difference. With my 1/10 Schumacher I am drifting, full 30-45degree turns, non stop, shifting weight, power transfers, perfect drifts.

Xmods slide around...they arent continual drifts, there is not enought weight, nor power. I speak from experience. I had friends that had them, they had the AWD "upgrade" and the tape, and they slid, not drifted.

And yes, Xmods are just plastic piles of dung.

XMOD up and downs

ups--price, Several engines, tuneable, losts of parts available, RADIO SHACK STANDS BUY THE PRODUCT IF ITS DEFECTIVE , THEY GIVE YOU A NEW ONE. you install al the parts so you learn a little bit

downs-- slow compared to other mini rcs, break easily if you ride it HARD



RS4 ups and downs


ups- nice bodies, quick, tuneable

downs- price, bodies break and fold like paper , break easily if you ride it HARD


for the money a XMOD is decent FOR THE MONEY 50$

now if yo have some coin to spend then the rs 4 150-200$

some have had bad experiences with both i know i have bad experiences with BOTH

....if you get the xmod it wont hurt you or your pocket if you slam it into somthing or break somthing

but if you get the rs4 and you happen to mess it up some how then it may get ugly

i have both the xmod and rs4 both are nice for just messing around the house or drive way


best bet is just get what you can afford

Everyone is going to come at me but, seriously i own an xmod with atomic mods super stock motor.

well right to the get-go, if you buy Xmods, buy the all-wheel drive and the drift kit, yes drift kit, they are basiclly $10 and are special wheels and tires that will make you really drift better than RS4 or what ever the name is. :evillol:

Now I understand why they say crack is bad for you...it makes you come up with non logical reveries.

I made mine drift without changing the engine. All i did was repaint it and put little funnels or sumthin so it could direct air flow when it drifts or turns.http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:_OIuc-0Mq8iVVM:http://news.windingroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/gumpert-apollo-with-jet.jpg (http://news.windingroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/gumpert-apollo-with-jet.jpg)

1: it's not called an engine.
2: it's called a motor
3: it's obvious you don't need to upgrade anything but AWD to drift in an xmod

to previous posters:
4: it's not sliding unless you slide in straight lines.
5: it's drifting. i've been able to drift around a course with track dots. soon to start on slick rcp
6: if they are too light, then why does the mini-z AWD drift? it's even lighter than the xmod.
7: all hobby grade rc's are always going to be better than xmods.
8: my 1:10 drifts just fine with nothing but pipe tires. don't need anything much to drift. that said,
9: 1:10 drifters have a slower dynamic reaction to to its larger wheelbase. small scale 1:28th's like xmods, mini-z's and iwavers have much more instantaneous reactions because their wheelbase is so short, meaning it takes more skill to drift at 1:28th than 1:10 because your inputs have to be more timely to get a nicely controlled drift.
