so.. here is a few sites that have some big rip offs.. i mean like up to $200 over what they should be priced...and also some site where you can get it cheaper...
ok... the scams on xmodspeed.com... those "r-tune" and "s-tune" motors are huge rip-offs.. they most likely bought them from
www.mini-zworkshop.com.. then the 5 and 6 cells...do i have to go on about them? you can get them where you bough your xmod at for like $2 or somthing...then the nitro-charger...wtf is that.. its most likely just some 4000uf cap but you can get a 1 fared cap from allelectronics for only about $3 i think.. then the hotwires... you can just go to any 1/10th or 1/18th electric r/c site that sells wires and get them for only about $1 a foot or so.. then the stage 1 turbo.. it only includes 2 fets ( i think) which are most likely irf or maybe even si4562dy's which you can get from newark.com for only about $2 a piece and gets lower the more you buy...then the sb motor... should i say more? tight turns.... may only cost like $1 and just search the forums...then the aluminium lugs... most likely the biggest rip of... you can get it for like0.10 from homedepot or maybe lowes..range repair kit..just search the forums.. $1 at most...tire tack is most likely just window cleaner..spin-ez might just be oil? then gear juice??? you would be better off selling the graphite from pencil shavings..oh and for the lion batteries...just search the forum and it will lead you to a place on how to make the charger and get the batteries from cheap...
next site.. xmods xtreme store... solder.. get that at any good 1/10th or 1/18th site that deals with electronics..$2 at least..speed checker...had a set at my hobby shop for only $13 a piece..5 cell mod... check up there... and get a real url instead of
http://xtrememods.freewebsitehosting.com/Home.html ...
new site...xtreemers.homestead.com... why homestead.. anyways...with the parts... c/f drive shafts... one.. you can buy a foot of it for about $0.50... then the hollow about 0.75..ill post the link where when i find it again.. then fwd driveshaft? no...dont even try that...then the ultimate xmod bearings... 8.35 a piece!?!? wtf was the guy thinking when he wrote that.. if you bought even 1 of those you deserve to get a dummy smack...then the atomic mods lithium batts... again..just search and you will find the links to do this for under $20...
next site... mighty mods.com... mini-zworkshop and auldy cans and maybe even motors itself... bah... i wouldn't buy from them...
then comes atomicmods.com... woowoowoo... can you say rip off on the c/f shafts? then the bearings.. $2-3 each? bah...then the wires.. he/she only sells seperatly only to make it look like it cost less.. typical marketing stragety...then the electronics... every signel things there is a rip off.. a board only with upgraded wires is $75.. what is this person smoking!??
the fet upgrade $110 just for the board and it.. that mean $60 for the fet upgrade alone... you can just send it to mini-z tuners for a 2x2 fet job for only $45 shipped..i woudn't mind saving $15+, would you? then the "V1 Power Management Board" $50.00 for that ****..my ass... load of bull...then the replacement parts... $5 just for mirrors?!!? tsk..then $7 just for the body mounts... thats just outrageous..then $8 for a motor heat sink... wow... people these days...then did you see thier turrnkey cars... wtf? if you want to go fast buy a nitro or somthing with the amount of money of those... or at least a mini-z..
im hungry right now so ill stop.. but any other xmod site i see that has loads of rip off i will say somthing about them.. if you dont want any thing like this said about your site i suggest you lower your prices.. oh and in the near future, i will be making a list with the sites with the cheapest parts...
