I just recieved $30 and I was wondering what upgrades I should get. I was thinking the stage 2 motors and suspension.

body kit!!!!!!!!!! and awd and you will be very happy. it has a buncha torque. and the boykit does wonders when it comes to looks

the stage 2 doesnt have a lotta torque. if you run it on rug it goes slow. you woulld need a large slick surface.

I already have the body kit, so AWD is in the picture. I may get the stage 1 motor kit.

I wouldn't bother with stage 1 motors. You already have one that came with it. I don't have the AWD so I can't speak to that, but the bearings make everything else work better. If you already have the body kit, the lights are pretty darn cool for $6 for a looks mod.

I have an unfinished basement. Which tires would be best for drifting? Also I am going to buy the stage 2 motors. What suspension would be the best so that my bumper wont get sratched on the concrete?

I would get the rubber tire set and experiment with the tire setup (hard on front, soft in rear, etc.) to get the right balance. The problem with talking about drifting is it means different things to different people. Some people think spraying WD-40 on the floor and spinning in circles is drifting. Personally, I think it is being on the edge of control in a corner and not crashing or spinning while sliding a little. Again, JUST A LITTLE BIT.

As far as the springs go, the stiff ones (blue) will keep you from hitting the floor the best, but they also affect traction and may cause your tires to chatter and skip. But again, depending on your definition of drifting, that may be waht you want.

When you guys drive your xmods outside or on the road what springs do you use?

i use hard springs out side and hard tires

and on drifting, i think of drifting as a controled slide threw a turn

spinning out isnt drifting it isnt controled. like on my track i'm in control drifting and making the turns

i thought the foam tires were for slick surfaces cuz i went there and i the girl told me if i was going to driving on lynolium to get the foam tires was she mistaken?

aperson · #12 11-03-2003, 08:34 AM

she was partly right. foam tires are great for carpet racing but they are made for "finished" racing surfaces
