Xmods FAQ
 

Here is some info I have on the Xmods from RadioShack. They are 1:28 scale not 1:60.

Some of the cars should be Starter sets Nissan Skyline, Acura RSX, Honda Civic (2 colors), Toyota Supra (2 colors), also body sets of each car as well. There will be Speed sets, Tire Sets, Stearing and Suspension set and (get this) AWD Kit, and a tool kit.

Some special order parts my even be a lap counter and transponders and custom decal sets. Can't wait to see how much of this stuff is actualy going to hit the stores. I'll post prices as soon as I know for sure. I do know that the catalog numbers will start with 60-8001 for the first starter and 60-8501 for the first upgrade parts.

Starter Kits are 60-8001 Nissan Skyline, 60-8002 Acura RSX, 60-8003 Honda Civic #1, 60-8004 Honda Civic #2, 60-8005 Toyota Supra #1, and 60-8006 Toyota Supra #2.

According to the toy guide the Xmods are to arrive in stores late October.

The following pics are not the best quality but what do you expect scanning a book that won't lay flat enough.

Thanks for the scoop cj!

Very cool!

Finally, Some info! Good Looking CJ...imo this is heads and shoulders above ZZ SE ...although must admit i was hoping for 1:43. Who knows maybe it wont be a TRUE 1:24 scale car. Once again VERY much appreciated CJ.

:eek: the long awaited pics of the xmods!!!! yeah, awesome cj. now they just need to make a overland killer..... i love offroad

C.J. ( or anyone who knows for that matter), im assuming that the XMODS will be available to order via 1800 the shack considering they wont be available nation wide in "brick and mortar outlets". If you can confirm that i would definently appreciate it. I dont mind that RS is , in essensce, testing the market but id like to at least be able to order an XMOD via telephone as opposed to locating a person within the city where they are being released and arranging a deal to have it shipped.

who knows but they will definitley(?) be cool. The coolest part will be faster motors and AWD!

RS Cat # 60-8001 Nissan Skyline strater kit for $49.99 is going to be the first Kit available. Stores are not listing it yet so check 1-800-the-shack if you want to get the jump on it.
No other items listed YET.

I've known about the Xmods for about 4 months but there was a disclosure agreement where I could;t say anything... BTW..in case you don't know... there will be a four-wheel-drive upgrade and they are 1/27-1/28 scale like Mini-Zs

In an upcoming issue of a certain import car magazine there willl be a mni magazine all about them

This Magazine?

What issue is that? Does it contain any good information? Do tell...

We all watched "Bits" and ZZ's blow up over the last year here in the states but from what ive read Bits and Mini Z's have been huge for some time in Japan. I dont know how popular Mini Z is here in the states but do you think that RS XMODS are going to be a success in the US similar to the Mini Z success in Japan?
