RE: xmods vs miniz
I'm contemplating another 1/28th... I have 2 Xmods and honestly I don't particulary care for them. I just can't get around the POS remote control, RS should charge 10 bucks more and give you a real remote. I use my 3PK with all my other cars (I have a lot) and the RS controler it a toy...
Still contemplating between a Mini-z or an Iwaver... AWD is not an issue, as all of us dinosaurs already know, a direct drive pan car will out turn and out handle these new TC's on anything but the slickest of surfaces....
