What mods to do?
I have a red Supra Xmod, and have been wanting to mod it for a while. I have about 200 dollars and a nice airbrush set, and have been improving my painting skills. I wil probably get another Supra body, 1 to keep stock and I'll paint the one I have because it is scratched a bit. So my question is what other mods should I do to my Supra? I don't have many electrical skills or anything lke that so I'd probably mes up any internals I touch. So mostly I'd like to do some external mods but any ideas are welcome.

Most of the stuff you get from RadioShack requires absolutely no electrical skills to install and operate.

Do you mean the Xmods accessories or like the other stuff they have. I already have the AWD kit, the lights, the tire kit, the suspension and steering kit, and the stage 2 motor kit. I meant like some of the things I've seem on these forums, but they all look complicated or not what I'm looking for.

not to stir up trouble, but
If you have $200 and want to spend it on an RC car, then maybe you should get a Mini-Z MR-02 or a MicroRS4??? I wouldn't dump that much into an X-mod. I love my x-mod because I can do stuff to it fairly on the cheap.

I didn't mean that I was going to spend it all on the car, I was just saying that I don't have a particular budget for what I want do, because I doubt that any paining or body mods will cost up to 200 dollars. But is there any sort of mod that lifts the car? I think it would be cool to make an suv sort of so I can drive on the baseball diamond behind my house. Of course, I'd have to be caeful with the dirt but just the idea of having a raised xmod seems cool to me.

hmmm
The body won't fit on right without dremmeling the wheel-wells or removing the bumpers but some guy layered like 3 sets of tires over each-other on his Skyline. Search for "rally car" and I think you'll find the thread.

You're in the same electrical skill problem like me, just check out ebay for some good custom motors and cf parts.
