My Xmod Lift Kit
 

i think ive done it a fullyfunctional lift kit ..im not sure yet because i still have to do some front end work and install my new electronics but i think is gonna work for more info go to www.newagemods.com hopefully several versions of this kit will be for sale soon. and here a small video of the progress

thanx

nice job! what scale parts are you using and are those oil filled shocks? the only thing i dont really like about it a little is how wide it is?

i custom made all of the parts except for the shocks(yeah their oil filled shocks) and the tires.

Can you give a base price? Will it work with stock electronics, wheels, body etc?

EDIT: Never mind, I thought the car would remain looking the same. I want a rallycar not a monster truck.

I had an idea fro a lift kit, but it requires a new chassis.
lift kit idea

yes i have several versions of this kit and one is not a monster truck but a rally car tho it does not lift the car very much it does enough to drive off road.

sorry
 

Sorry to burst anybody's bubble, but aside from the electronics and what's left of the chassis pan....how is this still an x-mod??? This looks like it'll take a LOT of fabricating to put together also. I'll bet that by the time you look at the cost of the x-mod + the cost of this kit (suspension, wheels, tires, shocks etc) + the cost of the 180 or 260 motor it's going to take to drive those big tires+ the time and money invested in a FET upgrade it'll probably take to get any speed whatsoever out of this thing, than it'll = more than what it would've costed to buy a Mini-Z Mad Force or a Tamiya TLT-1 or an Mini-Z Overland etc......Hopefully the chassis pan doesn't split in half after a jump or 2 due to excess weight and/or stress. Great idea to say "hey look what I've done!!", but I wouldn't want to invest/waste my time and money it'd take to do the conversion. I'd just buy one of the aforementioned vehicles.

ok well ur sort of right but there is not that much added weight (highly doubtful that the chassis would split)and i kept a x mod motor and no new fets. have a a mini z mad force and overland and neither are capable of what this is yes the acceleration isnt very good but the top speed is in my eyes its pretty functional and sufficent.

looks like
 

by the looks, it reminds me of a mini-stampede. That motor looks a lot bigger than a 130 too, maybe it's just because the chassis is so stripped though. Nice job, but it'll be an extremely tough sell.

yeah thanks for the input the motor is just a stage 2yes prolly looks bigger whit it stripped .....im not in it to sell it people are asking for it so i guess why not sell them but ill tell you after driving this thing you wont want to go back on the floor.

Jeez, thats not a lift-kit, it's a monster truck conversion! :eek:

Awsome work though, it looks like you did a good job putting it all together. I'm kinda looking for something a little less wild though, just a lift so you dont have to fear pebbles and carpet wrinkles :p

Glad you like it, but when i want offroad I bust out my RC10T

curious....
 

The pictures don't show too well, how big is it in size comparison to a Mad Force mini at 1/28thish scale (it seems bigger than 1/28) and the 1/18th scale stadium truck (name escapes me) and the Stampede 1/10th scale?

To Exeran: for an Overland style upgrade, somebody had a good idea of taking those Lego or Stomper wheels/tires and converting them to fix the X-mod and then creating a body lift for it. That seems to be the least functional but most practical approach.

ur thinking of a mini t and for both of you i have a "rally" style kit that requires no fabricating i will post a video of it in action this weekend when it stops raining out side it is very cool and lifts the car about 1 inch(alittle shy) and every stock x mod part fits it.

so its alll done and perfected??

on not quite yet but i will let everyone knoe when it is and well i guess im going to have to sell em on e bay because new age mods quit selling stuff.

That is great news. Can you post pics in the meanwhile?

I cant wait for it. Do you wanto send it to me as a proto-tester?:D
