I was playing with my xmod when it started to smoke. then, the range went down to like 4 feet. will RS take it back for a new one? if not, how can i fix this?

put it back in the box and take it back with the reciept and tell them wat happened then they wuld mess around with it they shuld give u another one;)

Given that you haven't modified it visually. Then they're not going to do much about it, but you can usually get them to take stuff back that's even been played with on the inside.

Your problem sounds like total equipment failure though, and not your own, so you shouldn't have a problem.

the only thing i did t the inside was bearings and steering rods. some of the screws are stripped, will that matter?

No, but you may want to reinstall the stock parts so you can put the bearings, etc. on your new car.

I really want to learn what the cause of this problem is. It really can't be all that hard to fix.

that would suck if someone forgot to take the bearings out. 20 dollars down the drain. there is one problem though, i lost one of the suspension things. the black thing and the spring. i am hoping he/she want notice it but it they do just trade one from the new car.

everything is ok now. i exchange it for anew one and the guy didnt even look into the box.

take it back with the reciept make sure u still have everything in the box though

What you probably did is shorted out the antenna to the batt leads or the motor leads. I did it twice with a plume of s Both cars had mods also and I had to take them off before I took it back. They should take it back and tell them what happened. Also, if you take out the batts and the rx crystal and disconnect the antenna from the lead you have less of a chance of shorting it out. If x-mods didn't have so many parts things like that would happen less. If you have money like "BC" and can buy several x-mods then you can setup cars for different conditions eliminating all the constant changing of parts.

thanks for the info but i already took it back. the guy didnt even check to make sure everything was there! HAHAHA

look at my thread civic on fire then u will c a link or anothere thread that will tell u what happend cause the samething happend to me but i forgot what they were called

thanks. is that in the XMOD forum? not parts and hopups and those?

xmod

do a search for my thread called "Extended Range?" for a fix.
