byebye,
i think you posted one of the better comparisons as neither review seems overtly biased toward one or the other really.
i do have some disagreements over the quality of the xmod but overall i think you hit the nail on the head. i just got my xmod monday and have only had time to dig into the bag of scews (there are MANY, have a nice size 0 magnetized screwdriver handy) and put the body together. i'll be running it this weekend....
one of the things to note first is the pricing point shows rs is marketing to a much younger crowd than that of the mini-z. i agree in that for the money, the xmod is a great intro in higher quality rc's. right now, they are still very new and therefore the hype surrounding them is just as high, explaining the easliy spotted slanted reviews. i do however think the xmod will be very sucessful and even more so if and when rs rolls out the sponsored racing schedule. afterall, even if your a stout mini-z fan such as myself, you'll love the body kits
