Stage 3 engine
 

is there any news of when a stage 3 engine might be coming out for x-mod cars?

if it does come out, it'll be next year.

oh ok, i just though i remebered someone saying that a stage 3 may be coming out sometime next month.

i heard that they will be little bit pricey!:(

Do you know how much it will be and what the rpm will be? 34,000 rpm?

not sure sorry...
thats all what i heard that it will be pretty big difference between stage 2 and stage 3 ($$)

Then I guess they are going to need a super insulated heat sink to cool those babies down.

i hope theyre 42000 rpm

but you guys dont have any idea of when they might be coming out? perhaps for teh holiday mabe?

man i hope like before or after christmas cant wait 4 another xmod:D

The mngr @ my local R.S told me last week that the motors will be out around X-Mas and be 40k RPM. He didn't mention price. PEACE

Ah HAH, I hope thats true. I hope they are around the 40k rpm range...

if its true the xmods are gonna be around 25mph then

I sure hope so!

Man, if these cars are getting around 40,000 rpm they are going to be tough to control. One bad turn, and BAM your eating asphalt. Its already hard for me to control the stage 2 motors in my basement.

yea u wont have to look for a slick spot or surface to drift, u could do it on wet blacktop
but 40k rpm is gonna be heck on the gears :S an ied say u would have to go to bearings cuz the plastic bushings couldnt take it

but at my local RS i asked the guy if they were gonna have stage 3 motors an he said this "there saying there wont be a need for a stage 3 motor"

Sure there is a need, everyone wants to be the fastest!

a friend of mine workin at my local RS told me that the stage3's would be 34k rpm...of course the price would be a bit higher, like maybe 19.99..... that's just a guess at the price but he's really sure about the rpms

if theres no need for a s 3 then why are people putting frikkin s 10 engines in them?! i hope they put an s3 out there so badly.

theres always a need to go faster

exactly, and i think xmas would be a perfecet time to realease it!

Yea lol........I can control my stage 2 top speed motor skyline easily. All you gotta do is know when to brake and turn right ;)

I went to high school with the rs manager near me and when I asked him about a stage3 or any other type of upgrade motor kit he told me that they haven't heard anything at all, but if he did get one he would hold one on the side and let me know if he heard something.

And mt fiance thought she was helping me by getting and xmod

I talked to my local rs manager friend again and he said that they find out every tuesday what shipment they will get in later that week so each tuesday I will let you all know any news

ya
 

i sure hope they do, that would b sweet. Some plz email me or something when they do :)

When i went back for some upgrades almost 2 weeks ago the manager pointed to an empty space on the rack and said, "thats for the stage 3 motors". I didn't ask about rpm's, or price. I simply asked "WHEN!?!?" He said he wasn't sure. I don't go way back with the guy or anything, and honestly he sort of comes off as a used-car salesman, which is why I didn't post the info two weeks ago. I'd like to think he's being honest but I'm not holding my breath.

I sure hope its Sooon!

im gonna go out on a limb and predict they will be out somewhere about the 5th of december just in time for every parent to run out an buy there son or daughter a stage 3 motor :P

I don't know when the stage 3 are out but I hope to have a 40k rpm engine here shortly

check this out:

and this is what I hopefully will have

well whats the point of getting a stage 3 motor anyways, the motors for the mini z can fit perfectly in the xmod and the cars electronics will handle most of the fastest motors u can get. The stage 2 was WEAK to the 9th power. Just get a mini z motor like the nml one and make ur car go vrooooom

I hope that radio shack will live up to there so called "WORD" and ring one of these bad boys out really soon like sometime next year around January of Febuary

I hope they come out with some metal parts for the A W D cause the cheap plastic keeps on breaking !!
