Anyone here race those Xmods cars from RadioShack? I've got a generation 1 that I'm planning on tearing apart and rebuilding it, and i'm going to buy a carbon fiber sheet and cut myself a chasie.
Also, anyone like to mod them?

I have 6 cars and 1 of the evo trucks and like every kit made for them.
Camaro - only one I payed full price for $50
F150 - a RS was closing so I got a complete set up for $90
NSX - $20 had a smashed case, I used a 4x4 kit and made it front wheel drive but haven't tested it out yet
the rest I got in a junk box for $20
350Z - I have 2 bodies 1 chasis
04 Mustang
Corvette
Skyline
and countless parts

I think I will be using 2 of them to bulid a robot for science olympiad but I would like to try some mods on them.

I know Reaperman@home did mess with them.

No, I prefer actual RC cars. I have a Team Losi XXX-T and a Tamiya TT01. Both of which are sort of... in need of repairs. The XXX-T needs a new speed controller because I ran it through a puddle. Any one know how to fix it?

I hack regular RC cars (the cheapo ones from Wal-mart). Its fun, I like giving them batteries with higher voltage than the car was meant for.

I'm mostly into 1/10 these days, but xmods got me into the hobby. I couldn't resist when my RS went out of business--I got an evo and every possible RS upgrade I could think of, for a bit over $50. it's my favorite 1/28 car, I like it more than my mini-z or my iwavers mainly because it's otherwise annoying fiddley bits are great fun to work on at the office. huge improvement over my gen1 xmods, even if evo is a heavy tub.

as for my other xmods, I keep finding gen1's at the thrift store, there's quite a number of them around here.

is that a gen 1 body?

yes, the gen1 bodies all fit evo with some tinkering. the rsx body needs extra attention as the wheels don't clear the inside lip of the bodykit without filing. It started life as a G35, because the g35s were $10 cheaper at the clearance sale.
