mine has a short crystal and the hood was not instaled. i think that is just because someone returned it and rs just put it back on the shelf(i heard a story of that somewhere here). i would be wary and make sure your kit has everything sealed.

I had the old skyline w/ plastic axels which broke so I returned it and got the newer one with the lower radio chip. I noticed that the fit of all the parts on my first one was much better, it did not have uneven torque, and it had better range. On my new skyline the body was much harder to fit together as the pieces did not line up as well, it torque steers, and I run out of range at about half the distance of my old one. Hmmmmmmmm...

you can also look at the capacitors on the motor. the ones with 1 capacitor on the left are the "new" xmods

my new corvette i got 2 weeks ago i think that's when i got it anyway has shrink tubing on the end of the antenna where the solder joint is for the screw to go there to hold it to the chassis and a lower crystal but has 2 silver contacts in each plug.
on a side note does any one know how i can lower my crystal even more? i need to lower it or move the hole receiver board for a project im working on.

I bought a skyline an it has the lower crystal but the range is stupid long.
I drove it almost an 8th mile before it started to slow down and quit steering.
I know because the block I live on is exactly one square mile.
Each side is a quarter mile and it drove just over halfway the length of one side.
It also had the hood preinstalled, but I saw both at RS yesterday.
On a side note. I bought the vett body for it and it doesnt sit really low on the front. In fact the front sits higher than the back and it looks really odd. I thought it was the crystal sticking up, but ater reading this I see I have the lowered crystal.
