Paintjob
Hi everone,
I´m from germany. With a little luck a friend of mine will send me a XMod Supra in a few weeks. When I get mine I will try to paint it like the supra from "The Fast and the Furious". Will make new Spoiler and Decals with my color-laserprinter.
Also, I will try to put light and bottom-lights in/on it.
Greetings from germany
Joe

I'm liking the pinhole camera idea.
I think I'm also going to go with the cell idea first. I'm sure there is room somewheres to add a 4cell pack, if not then I will have to make room. 
I read somewhere that there's a motor heat thing going on with the stage 2 (?) motor and that a heatsink is added to the upgrade package. So maybe the extra cells will be a lil too much for RS motors?

Heat is a problem in any motor. The motors that they use don't look like the have any bearings in them so the shafts spinning in those bushings will build up heat. Hopefully as time goes on or we find out what parts of the mini rcs can fit we might be able to rebuild or make our own motors with ball bearings in them to reduce heat and increase power output.

The mod I'd like to do and don't know if it can be done yet. Would be to convert it to a pan chassis. Looking at the pics so far with some custom machined parts one could make it only rear wheel drive and a pn chassis.

From what I can tell the mini-z is the same size, however the snapping mech is different. The body should fit with some slight modification.
I have seen some people use the fron latch and use velcro for the rear.
I currently working on a Miata body for mine and i was lucky cause the rear deck was the perfact size to allow me to screw the latch on from the skyline body. so when Im finished my Car body will snap on and off just as easy as the OEM ones.
I will post PICs as soon as Im done painting and detailing...

I haven't got an XMOD yet but I did check out the motors at a local RS. I think the Micro RS4 motors may just fit but I don't know. Just an idea.

then, if anyone decides to get the rsx or civic, get the awd kit and take out the rear diff to make it fwd for realism

how much these things weigh? if they weigh too much you will either need to get super grippy tires on the front or shift weight to the front or a combination of the two. these things are expensive! us poor folk out in the sticks dont have this kinda cash! if they're like 1/10 scale hobby cars nevermind.

if you read around you'll find that it greatly improves handling. hoping to convince my dad to get me one.

I noticed there is barely enough room for a 180 size motor... Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking  ?
