because i have mabey $125 in my x-mod and its as fun as my nitro with over ($450 in it.)car has ever been

LOL...I have a Micro RS4 and many other nitro cars and the xmod is getting more play time than them. Its a blast to mess with inside where believe it or not the Micro is almost too big and fast. You can tinker with them without fear of messing up a 200dollar+ toy.

if you gonna compare a 50 dollor xmod vs a 250 dollor rs4, put it this way. 50 dollors is 1/5 of 250 dollors. so the xmod cost 1/5 as much as a rs4. but is the xmods 4/5 lesser than a rx4? i certainly do not think so.

i love my xmods.

cuz my stupid nitro breaks every other second, and my xmod is funner to play with. can drive it inside, paint it customize it. dont go through tires every week, dont need 22 doller fuel, dont break pullstarts every other day, and i can drive em in my track.

Yeah, an x-mod is a toy, I have a $1900 PC I built and modified myself, and that's a toy.

I have a 92 mustang LX, and that's my big toy :D

The x-mod, my little toy, cause track time is big bucks :(

Numerous other toys too.

Basically if it's something you use for recreational purpose, it's a toy. I can go into very messed up examples, but I shall refrain.


Either way, I found my x-mod had a rather decent turning radius, good design, maybe a bit low on the power but that can be fixed :)

Basically, speed costs money, so if you can't afford an RS4 or a mini-z, this is the low-cost alternative. It's like buying a used SVO mustang instead of a 5.0 GT, just think of it that way.

oh yeah
 
5 of my friends have bought an xmod in the last week, we are all getting together on t-giving to race on the tennis courts down the road. the xmod is just too cool, i play or tinker w/ it everyday. be good to your xmod, take it to the local tennis court and wind it out...you'll fall in love.

3. These were geared towards the young teen (13 & up) so they could get into it for lower cost.
4. They never stated these were high end cars, i mean so yours can turn better so what? with the right tuning the XMod can be just as nice for half the cash.
Thats just some reasons i see....you may not agree but hey i don;t care...if you don't like them then don't post in this part of the forum. Simple...eh?

WERD!

haha, u make me laugh.. isnt that about every single upgrade RS has to offer in ur sig?? :p ;)

Hahaha. You are one hell of an ignorant person. Lets compare a $250+ 1/18 hobby class RC against a $50 1/28 radio shack RC car, and say that "xmods suck, because they are almost as good as my RS4, but not quite." Bang for the buck, I think these things are lots of fun, and VERY easily accesible. I don't have an LHS for 50+ miles, yet I have a radio shack within 15 miles of any direction I go from my house.

theMonster 11-26-2003 08:35 PM

here's another idea
 
Lets say his RS4 sucks compared to mineand BC's E-Maxxes.... Bwaaaaaaahahahahahaha

Comrade_Boris 11-26-2003 08:58 PM

ill put it this way, i love my x-mod, its the perfect entry car of this size......


and as for "how fast your $400 RS4" is, ill blow you away with my $150 MiG-15 EDF plane.........top speed around 85-90MPH



see ya!

boostmonger 11-26-2003 10:40 PM

i just got my xmod about 2 weeks ago, and it's great!i bought a mini-z about 9 months ago, and getting parts here is ridiculously hard.all of my friends wanted one, but they couldn't afford to fork out $150 on a toy car.but, they can afford these, and that means that the track in my basement will actually get some races in on it!
