X-Ray

the few people I have seen run X-rays have made the RS4 people look just plain silly. Plus the X-Ray can hold up to 10 cells easily (it's made to, but you have to use a full size ESC instead of a micro) where it's tought to make 6 fit in an RS4.

I love to build models and i love to paint them! buillding a rc car is one thing i cant wait to do.
same here. but i have no nitro truck and i like to paint but i suck at it. ive been looking into the M-18 x-ray. where could i find the electronics and motor for it though?

www.rcmart.com has a good selection of ESC's, servos, radio systems, and motors. I would recommend that you stick with the stock motor for a while, get used to the speed and characteristics of the car, then maybe go with a bigger motor.

the motor comes with the car? RCCA had to buy a separate motor. they didnt say anything about a stock motor. any place that makes electronics small enough to fit in the XMODS so that you can keep the 4WD

Oh, I thought the XRay came with a motor.

I think the RS4 kits come with one.

Most of the local hobby shops here have or can get the Xray M18. DON'T BUY FROM RCMART/DINBALL because they'll cahrge like $50 or more shipping as their crap comes from HONG KONG!!!! The X-ray doesn't come with a motor or ESC so that you can choose what you want a 180-540 size motor and the appropriate ESC to handle it. This is a REAL RC car, not a toy. The Micro RS4 is still just a toy compared to this!

XMods are toys compared to both the RS4 and the XRay M18.

I wonder if the M18 chassis can be raised. I'd like a rally machine, not a monster truck.

EDIT: Man, I didn't realize how much off topic we're going here.

That's not a bad price, especially for a hobby shop.

WOW

80$ is geat!!! They're $109 here! Also aperson, yes all of dinball/rcmart's stuff is like that. If you order a $10 part, you'll likely pay 25-$30 shipping. It's coming from Hong Kong for Pete's sake. Buy from somebody in the US or Canada.
