its it stuck like that or is it just broken? wellit look good with that camber but you can also use it to your advantage....you will be able to get more grip when you turn...for the body..it looks nice just needs a nice clear coat..:)

Did you read my mine???


I just got back from Radio Crap doing that EXACT thing.

oh and it took 4 RS's to go to, to get it retured, they were all (BC EDIT: Word removed.)about it, saying that they cant return xmods anymore, but the last place was like "no prob"

BC EDIT: Let's watch the language please.

Why would they not be able to return xmods anymore?

I figured it was only a matter of time before they stopped taking them back. Too many people are returning them for breakage during normal use rather than a problem due to a defect.

They really need to make more spare parts available, though, so that when things break, like EMX's did (or even mine that was run over by a car), they can be replaced without having to buy a whole new XMod. When they start doing that, then it would move the XMod further away from being a toy and more easily considered a hobby class unit.

A RS near me has a parts package. Looks like an employee parted out a RSX, maybe a stor demo that died?

Anyway thy are selling the entire car minus the body and electronics for 17 bucks including the controller.
