Guess what came in the mail today..
 

A pleasant suprise..my replacement rear Joint Shaft (eh, the dogbone), came today. I suggest anyone currently running an X-Mod without a set of these to go order them asap. Rather than the stock plastic one I had broken, this one is made of metal, and seems to sit alot better and keeps the wheel more aligned than the plastic one ever did. I'll never worry about breaking that one, infact, I plan on heading back up to RS this weekend and ordering another one for the other side. It pretty much made my day to get my Skyline back up and running again ^_^

You had plastic ones mine are metal

Yup, I'm pretty sure I have one of the supposedly crappy first run Skylines everyone seems to be complaining about, Thats really the only problem I've run into so far, everything else is still working fine. I have a feeling that the first batch of X-Mods were rushed onto shelves too early, thus, things break, ever play a video game that was rushed onto the market? Full of glitches, flaws, and might not even work at all? Think of that, but with X-Mods in place of it. Sooner or later something comes out to allow you to fix the problem, and for the company to get more of your money. Ahh..Capitalism. Anyway..yeah, sounds like you were a lucky one.

No i think i just got a better car then the skyline the RSX mine works fine except that i like killed the controller and the sterrring horn is noware to be found

i ve got one of the first skylines to and my friends has a newer one the second ones really r better quality i might have the order me a pair of those

Go for it..mine was practically a steal (Got it for free..after stretching the truth a little.) It seems worth it, and arrived quick enough. Then again, anything that'll keep you from breaking something else on your crappy 50 dollar money pit seems worth it when you think about it.

do you think i can get a new stock differenceal? i would buy it, as a part. do you know if they offer that yet?

12414355 DIFFERENCIAL GEAR SET $2.49 Not In Stock

Would that be what you are seeking?

What is the dogbone or whatever it is you just got in the mail...is it the thing that the lug nut screws onto????

How long does shipping take and how much was it?

yes. is there somthing on these forms that has a list of all the parts and part numbers? do i just go to my rs and ask for the parts?

If you look at the top of the XMODS forum it says something about CJ and being updated November 13th...click on that and that shows all of the products and their numbers

ok thanks, i am going to have to use that!:p

Yea it shows like every possible piece for an Xmod...cool:D

Yup..the dogbone is what you thread the wheel through and place the lugnut onto. And yes, I'm sure we're all very thankful for the ability to order replacement parts. Otherwise we'd all be screwed. Shipping seems to vary depending upon where you live, I don't live too far away from Fort Worth, so it got here pretty quickly. I ordered Saturday, and it got here today. Pricing, it would've been 2.49 (that seemed to have been a popular number around the factory), but mine cost 0.00, and anything you order probably would too if they ask if it broke while in performance (as long as you say "Yes."). Although that may only work if you show them the broken piece and whatnot..

did u get that off the RS special #? or did u special order it via RS store?

if they want to see the broken part and you just want a set of metal dogbones a pair of pliers might do the trick :D

hehe:D
i guess that would work:p

ok, i ordered them. i did not know you had to pay for shipping but oh well. i will tell you when they come.

I just ordered two of those (the dog bone things ) two days aga after i flipped my skyline and the whole wheel borke off.

they said shipping would take 10 days.

Is there any way that you can get it faster? I.E. Overnight shipping?

I bet you could get overnight shipping but it would probably jack the price up quite a bit...but the shipping on something that weighs like 15 grams shouldn't be that much anyway

ied rather wait than pay the extra shippin costs
and if ur race'n hard core enough to flip one an break a wheel off.... maybe you need a 10 day break lol

i dont think there is an overnight shipping, becaus ethey would tell you to try to make more money and they did not tell me.

I just ordered the part and they spelt my address wrong so they sent a second one and i received both of them at the same time today. Buy one get the second Free :D and i even ordered it on Monday .Stupid radioshack people told me ten days
