Try returning it to another radioshack. I think in the manual or something says that you can return items at any radioshack.

The question is why? What made you take them back. If readers don't know why you took it back then we can't help diagnose the common problems with them. I don't work for RS and personally I wish I would have never bought two cars. I have also returned two cars both for the same reasons. I returned first a skyline then an RSX both cars had the same problem. The car would be sitting there off and smoke would come right out of the crystal. The smoke smelled strong and hurt my lungs. I want to know if anyone else had this problem. The guy at the rs here said this was the last time. I think it's BS. The cars are too much of a hassle compared to mini-z's to go and buy replacements.

you will never hear about smoking z's unless you've done something you shouldn't have....it oges back to the quaility issue.

sorry to hear you guys are having problems though. i know it's frustrating to buy something and have it not work or break due to a lack of quality control.

Returning Thee X-mod.....

Howdy,
I have a Skyline and I have never had a problem with it. I have had it a few months now with no probs. I don't understand why people are having all the problems they are. I'm an electronics tech so maybe I'm a little more careful then some others or maybe I just got lucky and got a good one. But I don't think the problems are car specific. The chassis are all the same. They are made on the same line just assembled in a different configuration. My friend also has a Supra and has had no problems with it either. Like I said who knows. Maybe we got lucky. Oh well. I wish you all luck at getting your cars fixed or returned. Later

yea, I agree. I don't think that it has anything to do with the body style. Since the guts are all the same... accept some have a shorter drive shaft then others. (I know that the RSX does.

I've had two cars and both are broken, but modded to much to return, so I think i'm just gonna sell all the junk I have for $40 or something on ebay. The total spent on all of it is well over $300, but it's not in perfect condition anymore If anyone's interested, here's the list of stuff I'd be selling (all in one package)...

-2 xmod chassis & bodies (red and white supra)
-1 mini-z chassis (red RX-7)
(both red bodies are pretty beat up, white one is fine except for a large hole drilled in the hood for antenna mod; also, the xmod and mini-z bodies aren't interchangalbe without some modification)
-a few stage 2 motors that may or may not work and I can't check them, but I know at least 2 or 3 work
-mini-4WD speed checker/dyno type thing (works fine)
-Mini-z chassis
-bunch of wheels and tires and locknuts and stuff, also 4 blue anodized locknuts and 4 all-copper locknuts
-mini-z TX
-2 xmod TX's, only 1 antenna though
(all TX's work perfectly)
-XMOD toolset (small hand drill broke but large one still works)
-Just random odds and ends that will come in handy at some point

if I put it up for sale, it probably won't be for a few weeks, but I'd like to know if there is any interest in something like this? Thanks

I returned my first Skyline and got a RSX b/c they didn't have anymore Skylines. I shorted it out while trying to do a 5th cell mod.

The next day, less than 24hrs, I returned the RSX. It was a terrible car, not my fault.

The next RSX is my racecar...6 cells and still going strong! I flipped it about 100 times. No joke. It runs better than new!
