I broke a cup joint and three of my friends broke theirs all in the same day.

I think the next upgrade from RS needs to be cup joints and dogbones in aluminum. I would rather have good parts that work than new bodies or any other upgrade.

I haven't broken anything on my mini-z. Unless you count the left mirror.

I knew that was gonna happen. :(
They really stick out there. Mine hasn't arrived yet. I bought it from dinball, and them being in Hong Kong, I guess it's on the slow boat. lol


I going nuts waiting on it.

craftsman's parts are worth it. I have them on my 6 celled RSX(now shorted)and now my Civic.

I have aluminum cups on my cars now too. Upgrading parts is really adding to the cost of xmoding. $18 for cups, $20, bearings, $16 stage 2 motors, $9 tire upgrade, $50 for the car and in my opinion these are all must have upgrades. Your total is up to $113. That $50 xmod isn't so cheap anymore. I am starting to think your better off leaving the car stock and not upgrading anything. Just enjoy it for what it is a $50 rc car.

If you want to keep it stock don't try a 6 cell mod. You will not want to run 4 cells anymore.

Been there done that back in October.

i tried 6 cell. got pissed off cause my car flipped over so many times and the added weight killed my off the line. and i couldnt stand the wait for the batts to charge. (what you get when you have a charger that only charges 4 batts) im happier with a lighter lower powered car:)

isn't 4 cells boring?

I run on the rcp wide L track. Without a doubt a bone stock stage 1 would take a souped 5 or 6 cell car any day. After 10 flips and only 5 laps the stock car would have lapped you at least three times. My fastest set up is stage 2 drift w/ ic3 bats. This car consistantly beats a hopped up 180 hpi 45t motored civic.

nope, i run on tight courses and i prefer handling over power. id be happier with some lithium batts tho.:D

I haven't even raced on a track.

Where can I find out more about tracks around my area? I just run my 6 celled Civic in parking lots and my back yard.

i race around paper cups lol. kinda like little inexpensive cones.:p
