I have a above normal size attic and laid 40x 40 plyboard down and painted it road rage gray with added traction mixture.I painted all the roads in glow in the dark paint and run a blackilight on it.With my added modded lighting system (http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13792) this thing rocks.The traction allows for fast paced racing .now i just need some racers.

Ouch! That's why I want to get an old body of some kind for when I go racing around.

You can say that again. What did you do? Did you crash into a barrier or something?

Are your barriers made of 1-grit sandpaper:D ? Looks like it hurt! They're so pretty too...

xmods arnt even in the same class as the miniz. xmods are toys and minizs are "hobby class racers", yet a toy smoked a bunch of hobby class racers? sounds like some out got there toys and racers backwards

confucious say it is not the car that is fast it is the driver , in other words your car can go twice as fast as mine but if it is not in the right hands ,you'll loose every time ......life lesson INITIAL D

XMODS aren't exactly slow either.

true but in this scale car some one driveing a car that is way out of the league of another car shouldnt have any problem being faster. also sessiz say'd he was flying by them every where, so i assumed he ment his car was faster

his car was faster ,but my point is that the mini z was out longer than an x- mod it has been modded to death ,then here comes an x-mod out of the box ,brand new,untouched and bam ,sents the miniz back to the drawing board, a toy that is recommended for children over 6 ,miniz does not have child recomendation.....:rolleyes:

If I were to make a track for an XMOD, how wide would the lanes be?
Micro S2000
10-19-2003, 03:13 PM
i'd say 1.5ft to 2ft. and make long stait aways. with the speed on these that should be pretty good. i plan on just duct taping this bendable pipe down on a tennis court. i can get all the parts at the hardware store and it will be cheap. also you never run out of track setups

My xmod has the awd kit and the 3.0 (blue) motor. I can't say I was flying past everyone but I was gaining laps (skills:p) and ahead by 3-4 car lengths at times. This was against "stock" mini z (stock in quotations becuase I heard talk about 0.2 and xspeed motors and whatnot). I'm not about to knock a mini z, I really honestly don't care that much, but this xmod aint a toy. These 2 cars should be in the same class. I'm using mini z lugs right now and I'm pretty sure motor swaps are coming and probably a whole slew over other hybrids.
I'm getting a lil too serious about this car so I'm gonna step back and have some fun. This is the reason why I even got it.
On the child recomendation thing. Xmods are produced for american consumption where as last I knew kyosho was a japanese product.

Would people be angry if you were taking up a tennis court for racing an XMOD? :p

Hobby shops that sell mini Zs or online. They weren't cheap though.
Micro S2000
10-19-2003, 03:22 PM
oh, i was just at my hobby town and didnt see a miniz, and whats not cheap? how not cheap?

$6 for 4 black nuts, they had different colors too:p
I got em from the mini z track/hobby shop.

hehe I had a couple of tamiya 1/32 4wd screw bags and in them were 4=2mm locknuts.The bags cost something like $1.45 or so, nice chrome look and fit perfect.

Yeah I'm gonna definatly look for some other nuts just so I can get these damn mini z nuts off my wheels :p
Allthough the cool thing is that they have this white nylon lining on the inside that locks the nut in place.
