RE: xmods vs miniz
To BovineD.... i take a GREAT offense to what you said.... yeah.......i just know what i have heard and all the comments you quoted are from a eairler date...so...hmm......maybe i talked to somebody? maybe drove one? hmm.....i dont know........hmmm..... I firmly beleive in what i said and what i said is a good comparsion between the xmods and mini-z and on the camera.....well lets see......if someone offred you a camera(brand new) for 100 - 150$...and at the time its worth 300$(i think it was 279$ on the dot) and you didnt have a camera...would you pick it up? btw it takes awesome pictures...just not close up......<- lol if you wanna see pictures taken by it... http://www.partyhays.com a note.....the link didn't work for me when i posted this, we havent udated it since december...so prolly a hostin thing.... sorry if i sound like a dick....but you pissed me off really bad and its really hard to get me pissed

RE: xmods vs miniz
whoa...i missed alot here..... imo the xmod is a great starter car and has good pontial for high speeds, but the price reflects the durablitly of the car(but as w/ anything. its only as good as you take care of it, mine has only broke down once and that was when doing serious modding) think of it as a low end hobby car that can be a high end.... imo the mini-z is a regular hobby car that is durable n stuff the thing now is.....now that i got a xmod...why would i want a mini-z....nothing bad bout the z, but i allready have a 1/28th car so i don't need to waste money on anthoner......i'll be getting a 1/18 or larger car(prolly a x-ray m18) on the controler....i see nothing bad and i'll bet if/when i use anther controler i'll find the bad parts to it......so the controler is a good starter one.... of couse this is my opnion and i hope that all of you guys/girls out there agree w/ me about it

RE: You know what would be really cool?
ever noticed that a 130 motor is the size of the whole car? anyway....i've seen motors that are smaller than 130's but bigger than zip zaps motors....you just would have to find them also the current draw might be too much if you have a bigger motor installed so you need to cheak that or you'll burn the board...

RE: X-Mod Turning Radius Reduction Kit
an easier way to do it is pick up some 3.3k ohm resistors and put them inline on the brown and orange thick wires going to your servo.....works great

RE: Micro RS4 or X-mod?
close ben xmods scale is 1/28... i'd give it 7.5/10 reliability if you have the money...i'd get a rs4(will i'd get a m18 but thats not what ou asked) since its a lager scale but the xmods are fun and are hobby grade...so it just matters if you want a bigger or a smaller car

RE: xmods vs miniz
seen nsx's on xmods, on some bodies you have to cut it in half and patse it together, seen it so many times that I am 100% postitive on it remember that the xmod has three body posistons on it short med, and long i've seen people extend the chassie longer so they don't have to cut it...if you want pictures, i can show you
