Takumi, you ever think about grinding down the edge of the mini-x wheel shafts so that the axle portion that attaches to the wheel is D shaped? This would ideally allow you to put XMod rims on your x as you already have. Even better, it would let you do it without having to resort to either drilling out the rim and adding the pin groove or using the plastic xmod universal drive shafts (not to mention modding them to fit). I've got a dremel tool, but I need to get a vice so that sucker doesn't shoot through the window or my head.
Out of curiousity, even the threaded part of the xmod universal drive shaft is D shaped correct? And theres no problem getting the wheel nut on and it staying tight? (I don't have an xmod or parts yet)
Lemme know if you think this won't work, otherwise I'm trying it as soon as I can get to RS to get some xmod rims and a vice to do the grinding.
Oh, I'm also going to put up a video of my (sadly) stock mini-x sometime soon. There isn't enough video available for people to see what the X is like, so I thought I'd take advantage of my new digicam.
