XMODS Magazine error
 

Well, i searched the forums for XMODS MAGAZINE ERROR and anything to do with xmods magazine so if this was already posted... i dont care because i did a search and couldnt find it.


in the mini mag the blue stage 2 motor has its black wire disconnected. it hurts to see this.. but its so funny. it demostrates just how shi... the XMODS wiring is. they even published it for the world to SEE! this is pathetic..

Oh, there are a lot of errors and bloopers in the magazine. Lemme take my time to list them all:

PG 6. The skyline's rear end is so high up it looks real funny. Also pg 10 is just outrageous.

PG 13. The RSX's ride height is also REALLy high up. Almost looks like it's ready for off-roading.

On where they show the xmods with the body off, there are no light plugs.

PG 30. The pic in the upper right hand corner, it shows the xmods front suspension... take a close look, the suspenion is fully compressed and yet, nothing's touching it to make it compressed...

PG 35. The crystals are in the wrong place. IE, controller xtal in the car and vice versa. Although it will still work, but they could have at least made it look better.

PG 21. They talk about the heat sink that comes with the stage 2, but in the pic, it's a stage 1.

Look at their skyline pictures. The rear spoiler has a crack in it. LOL

PG19. Lower right corner, the motor connector is red.

PG10. front wheels of the skyline is floating. haha

PG 9. look at the rear deck. doesn't seem to have any screws on them.

Look at the pics that show the underside of the chassis. It's really different from the retail ones. well, i'm retty sure those are concept chassis'.

Page 27: The wheels at the top are Mini-Z wheels...

Oh well, I guess I can understand some of the mistakes are because they were taking pics of prototypes so they could include them in the mag with the production cars. Some, though, like the broken motor wire, are just blatant and laughable.

I bet the editors were peeved that somebody broke the Skyline before they could get a picture of it. :lol:

pg 37, the command lights are plugged into the main power source, how are you supposed to plug the motor in??

also, did u notice how all the pinions on every motor are the same??

im beginning to think that the publishers and editors of that mini-magazine were heavily induced on crack cocaine...or theyre all younger than lil bow wow.

pg29 how r u moving without bats.?

It's because the table is sloped... :p

looks like it is moving faster than just rolling:confused:

lol thats funny

Page 5, it says the skyline article is on page 13, and the RSX article is on page 6.....wtf? look through the mag!

Page 6, the front bumper is touching the ground, how can you race like that? and the rear....uuughh...page 8, look at the top of the antenna, a mini-cylinder! Good Grief!

Page 12, look at the rear lights of the honda civic....looks a little empty....

Page 13, look at the rear suspension, what the heck is with those silver screws?

Also, look at the lug nuts on the wheels, what is that silver dot in the middle?

Page 19, look at the gear in the hand, there is a light blue, not a dark!

Page 20, the motors are missing the orange resistor!

21: The motor in the car has neither a metal heatsink nor the plastic mount!

23: The tire treads are different from the ones in the tire upgrade!

PAge 30, the upper right pic: Look closely at the left arm of the car, see the silver peg missing?

Boy oh boy, This magazine does REALLY great justice to the car itself. :rolleyes:

Chuckster...

the front cover's skyline has a differnt bodykit then the one on p6

ok well i decided to take a look in the mag and i must say... wow its like no effort was put in, i found a feel more errors, on page 36 the head likes are yellow? in the article it even says "white head lights" on page 40 under the supra hood is diffrent than mine... on page 30 their shock towers are silver, on page 27 next to the miniz rims, their tires have a diffrent thread design, also on page 5, next to "power up" besides none of the motors having caps, as well as having red connector, one motor is using a light kit connector!! my last issue was disocvered when reading the magazine, their is much reference to porn and sex (not at all offedded) but rather wondering "isnt this a magazine for kids?" lol i can see it now "mommy, daddy, whats playboy?" lol

hey they could be poppin wheelies... or pills not sure yet.

They are Mini-Z tires. I have a set of those exact tires on order for my MR-02, actually.

The tires on the front cover are also Mini-Z front tires.

i also noticed on xmodsrc.com on the car builder, the stock supra [EDIT]stock red supra has the upgrade hood on it. check it out

There a a lot of errors in the magazine.

Just shows you how much time radioshack spends on these cars. :D

hey hey hey didnt any body notice that the pic on page 30
you can clearly tell that the shock is entirely metal not just the shaft and the tie rods are metal alsoo and on page 30 the knuckle isnt missing it fell in o and on page 8 u c where it says "fully tuned and ready for action unlike our cars"
they said the got stiff springs and new tires when all of the car is stock except for batteries i think that the yellow transistor was taken out on perpose for increace of speed i heard of ppl doin that OK WAT IS UP WITH THAT THE BEARINGS ON PAGE 22 ARE SEALED!!! on page 11 in fast facts it clearly says command logic light set how come u dont c it light up in the pic above?
O O O O and here we go how come on oage 19 the front top deck has 6 screws instead of 4?

Page 30, the dampers are metal, which I was really looking forward to. It even said "metal-shafted dampers" in the What Is Oversteer and Understeer? section, 4th paragraph. Pfft.

Where do you get the magazine? Can you download it on the internet?
Thanks,
guy

it came with the Xmod starter kit with the stickers and the manual

actually the dampers are metal shafted.

Ones mind is either playing trick on them or the people who put this little magizine together was really smokin something on that day

missing mirror
 

Look on the web site the skyline is missing a mirror. that is funny....

hey we didnt make it... super street did. they had limited supplies for the mag anyway. those cars are like the very first production samples. i mean those pics were taken even b4 they got them in at the office. i should kno, i have the very first yello skyline to come to the office.

Hey what do u xpect, its published by prime media

hahhahahahahahha
page 22


and the blue motor on the same page the black wire snaped off

HEY INSIDER
 

So are we going to be surprised at all the new stuff coming out for the Xmods?

yes, in general its all pretty kewl stuff. keep in mind that we want to keep modding it yourself as a major part of xmods tho. we dont want to hand all the kewlest mods to you on a silver plate.

on the front page look whats missing from the tires by the tire tech writing

The head and taillights on the RSX are cut wrong. They are flat on the bottom, not curved like on mine.
