RE: OFFICIAL XMOD THREAD
here is what you do if you need to drill the holes: get your dad to do it. then, if he messes up, you go complain to your mom, and you will get a new body, or a new xmod. this method works good. my dad knew exactly what i had planned, and did it perfectly i am sure i could have done it myself, but this way i did not have to worry.
i am going to rs in a half hour or so, and i am getting the batt charger, and the stage two motors. i will have another 20 after that, and whatever catches my eye, i will get. i am thinking about the neoens..... but i think the green would clash with my blue civic/350z. then again, how hard could it be to pop new leds in there? i will look to see if they have any of the correct leds in their parts section. im thinking blue ones would look good with almost any car....

so far they only have green under glow, as far as i know. and thats pretty far.
but, look at this bueaty that was in stock: a "body top and kit for acura rsx". it comes with everything the black acura body kit has, and the body itself, and the medium drive shaft. it is only $16, which means you get a body and drive shaft for just a few dollars. i think i am the first to have this. and it means that there may be all of the bosy tops to buy sepratly, which would be jolly.
i also did pick up the charger/batts and the stage two motors. i will put a blue motor in once i upgrade the magnets. i am having a hard time getting the bugger opened up, and getting the pinion off. right now i have the white motor in. i also put a few wide-track bearings in the front, it does hold a straight line better.

you touched the batteries with the black wire leading to the antenna. so you shorted out the antenna. go to rs and tell them the reseption on yours sux. also bring your brothers xmod and show how far it goes. say you want to exchange it for another because its defective.

drove it out of a window. i was on vaction, and on the fifth floor. the window was open. i was drivingaround. there was some interference, and it drove out the window. it fell, hit concrete. end of xmod #1. good thing it was stock. i threw away the remains. it was too trashed to salvage anything.

Thats.....smart......How can you thrash your car that bad? All of my 1/28 cars still have the mirrors and spoilers firmly attatched....Do you just run it off of cliffs for fun or something? I can understand accidentally driving out a window due to interference, but that's the only one.

RE: OFFICIAL XMOD THREAD
I just got an Xmod today, and got the light kit and foam tires to go with it, because I have a hardwood livingroom floor and the foams would be fun to run on it with, or get more grip on carpet too I guess.
