I wanted the red one but my nephew beat me to that one and I'm glad because I like the white one better after I saw the two. The battle scars are almost gone after I used car wax and buffed a little. Yea, I'll eventually paint it but I like it as it is right now.

RS might have a replacement antenna, they use to carry all sorts of telescopic replacements and they still may have them.

Yeah I checked out the replacement antenna's today but figured if I was still getting decent enough range and performance from my broken one, that I'd just hold off and wait. The guy at RS offered to order me a new one so I may do that in a lil while, for now, I'll just stick with my craptastic saudered back together antenna.

Well, I went out and bought a body kit for my white supra....mostly for the sparco wheel for my controller..the stock wheel kept binding for some reason..

And I put a mix of the mild, wild, and stock part together, it almsot looked like the castrol supra without paint when it was done....put on teh stiff spring kit I bought and the 1.5 tie rod....time for drift fun...oh and hte hard tread tires

Well...once it was all done I rolled my car at least 12 times, slid on the front lip spoiler about 20 feet, and have MASSIVE massive marks from teh hood on to teh top...and the body kit is now a little bit higher off the ground

Funny part was I recoevered from every flip without having to do anything...YAY!

Goes to show rocks in the alley = bad

EDIT: found out what happens when your car flips when you have hella tight lugnuts...the front ones broke

I guess I am one of the fortunate ones. I am lucky that I have an unfinished basment with plenty of room to drive my XMOD. I dont really have that many sratches since I drive it inside. But I did once drive it outside and decided it was better to drive it inside.

man if I can show u guys my "white" supra, me and friends been battling our Xmods like crazy!! tag,capture the flag, time lap, checkpiont, no survivors, chicken, drift circuit, rally, drag, we played it all!! Now my supra has chips of yellow, black, red, blue, silver, and 1 long scratch from the right side of the front bumper to the right rear , it also battled RS's superstreet RSX (not the XMOD, tht huge one) it got ran over (no really, it really went under)by it, broken left headlight, body kits pieces everywhere, and for sum odd reason, one of the spokes on the rims have been broken off! well yea I got hooked up wid a "new" chassis from a friend still the white supra,now i can reke havik on more cars!!, I picked the white supra cuz its so easy to see were your "battle scars" are.

They have reverse, but the way it works is kinda weird.

If you are already moving forward, the first time you kick it in reverse it will act as a brake but won't go in reverse. Once you do that return the throttle to center and kick it to reverse again, this will get your car moving in reverse.

Honestly, I wish that there was no braking feature on the remote since it doesnt even work like a real brake...well maybe if you like burning brake pads....

RS did one too many things to teh controller when they added teh brake feature.
