Stoppit!! You're making me want to bust in the screen and grab the car. There is only one way to describe that Supra: SWEET.

What rims are those? (before and after)
How well do Xmods wheels fit the Z? and what mods do you need to make to the wheels?

bearings
sealed bearing are available from Boca Bearings. I didn't bother getting some since I only race indoors. I've run both the mini-z and my x-mod. I like the x-mod better. I installed the 4wd kit and the yellow step ii upgrade motor. It runs better than my mini-x. I would like a different body for it though. BAE

that is a very impressive conversion  lets please not have this great thread get bogged down in xmod or miniz trashing. they both are great cars for their price range and leave it at that.
i hope to see more mini-z owners do these types of conversions as the body kits for the xmod bodies are one of their strengths.

I do have to say that that is one sweet conversion.
Now if RS can sell the bodys seprately it may be worth it to those of us who already have the mini-z's. Only if RS would do a mustang......
One other thing. kingcobra, what did you use to strip the paint with?

thanks...
I used regular dot 3 brake fluid...let it soak and start brushing the paint off with an old toothbrush... leave it in there just long enough to get all the paint off... then take it out and wash it a few times with dish detergent to get it all off...then prime and paint. thats all...and thanks for the compliments...
