So, does that mean that pulling back once applies the brakes, and hitting hit a second time throws it in reverse?

No it doesn't really have anything as far as brakes it slows down pretty quick on its own, I think they just designed it that way to keep you from doing gear damage

Hey outlawblaze can you post some pics with a campairson of the Xmod, The 1:43 corvette and a zip zap including the controllers?

FYI, they "have" brakes, from what Outlaw and I have just learned. I know of no braking upgrade kits, but they supposedly have braking. Probably just a simple slow-down, as I don't see any mechanical setup. Apparently just slows the motor down, and then you click back again to get reverse.

Most reversable ESC'S(electronic speed controller) for hobby quality rc cars have a brake function, and reverse. You push the trigger forward for variable braking, let off the trigger than push it forward again for reverse. The braking force is produced by the motor through the ESC , the motor is not trying to reverse its rotation but accually creating a strong magnetic field which resists rotation of the armature hence slowing the rc car, and should have enough power to lock the drive wheels.

There is no mechanical brake system like a gas powered rc car.

Good deal, how about some good pics of the internals, suspension, gearing, etc.

Hows the steering, is it real propo or RS propo?

Micro S2000 · #27 10-08-2003, 11:43 PM

well put

CharlzO · #28 10-09-2003, 03:41 PM

PS: I put up some general pics in the Gallery Forum, for all interested. Some suspension, stuff like that. Haven't gotten too carried away yet.

It looks possible from Charlz0 pics to make it only FWD but I wish I had about $1500 right now for these the SEs and full scale R/C. Make that $15000 for R/C Nikko iRiders!

I got my pic with my Zip naxt to my X. Also, there's a comparison pic of the two as well on the new Yahoo Club, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XmodsRC . Anyway, I'll have it up here and in the yahoo group as soon as my image software works and I can resize it down from 316Kb. tomorrow, I'll switch my other pics to the yahoo group too. (I left the pics at work). As per someone's request, there's also a short vid clip there as wel (I have a 7MB file but I'm on dialup at home...yeah, that works well *lol*). For those interested, def. join that group.
