New to XMODS, 2 questions

First of all, these things are (BC EDIT: Word removed) AWESOME!


in 3 days, I've already upgraded the lights kit, and a body kit, and pan to do more to my Skyline.


Question 1) I noticed the bearings are just about the most expensive kit item out there. And my wheels don't have them stock. Do they protect something? Should I care right away? Am I doing damage without them?

Question 2) I LOVE my Skyline, but they HAVE to be planning more purchaseable models right? (hopefully without buying a full kit.)

anyone know or heard anything?

bonus question: Anyone know where I could find or make some good artistic decals or such for the hood or whatever?

1). The bearing aren't that important (in my opinion). They just extend you run time and reduces friction.

2). As of right now we have no idea if radioshack will be releasing bodies. I am thinking they probably will.

3). You could make decals by buying some decal paper and then finding some pictures and printing them onto the paper. Then you could just slap them on your car.

First off, welcome to the forum Feenix. Second, one rule we have here is no innapropriate language.

About the bearings.....You are not doing any damage without them, but the bushings used instead will wear faster. Also, the bearings do have less friction which means a smoother ride and faster car.

It's still up in the air about what other bodies / kits RS will be releasing other than what is available right now.

Concerning your question about decals, check the Mods & Tutorials link in my signature.
