Angry Xmods Suck

I got a red supra today and im takin it back. These tings suck. I put it all togetter and it only rad for like 10 minutes. And they were brand new batteries. I also had problems with steering and when i turned it on i had very slow response from the car. Anyone looking to buy one of these SAVE your MONEY and get a MICRO RS4. They are way beter.

BC EDIT: Do not use symbols for innapropriate language.

did you make sure the 9V battery was lodged against the contacts good enough, cuz that could very well have fixed your problem...oh well....your loss...

bah troll

I have no complaints here. The only problems I have/had with mine are exactly what I expected from a $50 car.

The Micro RS4's are great cars. Then again, for the price of one of them I can buy 3-4 XMODs....

if you were using any Rayovac alkaline batteries you should expect a 10-15 minute run time those batteries suck.

Well what more do you expect from a $50 XMOD. My XMOD runs great. I have no problems with it.

Stay away from Micros. Get a 1/10 Nitro, you'll save money in the end.

I am pretty content with my XMODS. I had a skyline that died, now a supra that seems to be invincible. Range is OK, speed is pretty good.

x-mods may not be that great but at least they have body upgrades and cooler stuff (well maybe not) but they are like half the price so stop doing this. Everybody does this in the mini-z section 2. Hate it when people do this.
