you can buy so much for them off of Ebay....... aluminum everything......
Yeah it's nuts, I don't have any of the aluminum upgrades but I do have the suspension upgrade, AWD upgrade, and I'm running a badass Speedologist motor.
Already wasted enough money on it

AWD isn't all that uncommon, I've got it on my Skyline X-Mod. Lost the steering control arm tho, so it's kinda not running...

What size Speedologist motor did you get?? I picked one of them up from E-Bay for my car, but it's the nice MONSTER 280 size I think?? Lets just say, it's big enough that I need to make a new chassis to hold it
Ah, here we go, the
original E-Bay ad
Actually, he claims that it will fit in the stock LWB, but it didn't really look to good to me lol. I'm putting a different body on anyway, and the body needs a wider & longer chassis
1/24th special edition Earnhardt Sr body (silver w/ black lower). I'm prolly goin' drag, not track. I'll try to run skinnies/fatties like the muscle cars and drag cars
I was implying no Civic in real life has AWD...chill
!
I'm running this
motor as I'm still on stock electronics/battery.

Nice find Brian!
Where can I find these batteries you speak of? ...and no I'm not a member of any site, just wasting some time while the snow is around
.
If you're just d**kin' around, it may be something that's too advanced for what ya want
You have to cut the stock battery holders out and put in a new connector b/c it's a battery pack. I found one in the Classifieds at that site above
clicky
I forgot to ask, do you have Evolution series? Or Generation 1?
Here's a site that sells stuff for both
I'm slowly building a straight drag car. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use the #3 Earnhardt body I mentioned yesterday, or I'm gonna try to find an 82-92 Firebird/Formy/GTA.
Ooohh, now how awesome is this?? I just came across it online...

Pro-Mod Nitro Cavalier
The middle two pics in the bottom row. I can't link the pics directly
Gen1, thanks for the links, think I may order a different body from atomicmods, good prices.
I used to be into 1/10th scale, so R/C cars are nothing new to me, I had a Bolink drag car with the CF chassis back before I even knew what CF was :-). I had around $300 tied up into it, fast as hell though and tons of fun. I also had a few Tamiyas, along with a Traxxas Stampede.
Kinda grew out of it, the xmod is great fun though with friends and nice little competition in the basement
.
I c
I bought my Skyline when they first came out, it was running for awhile and then I started to modify it :snicker: I ended up losing the steering control arm tho, so it hasn't ran in a very long time
I need to get a new one, heh.
I'm not sure what I'm going to make my chassis out of yet. Probably just F/G since I already have a bunch
Lay some lil metal rods inside the chassis to help prevent twist, etc.
I would go with a 1/10th scale setup if you aren't, much easier to work on and find parts for projects. Bolink makes nice nice drag chassis' too.
If I ever get back into 1/10th scale I think I'm going to go gas this time...no more electric. Though I almost bought a 1/10th Tamiya FWD new Beetle to run a setup identical to my drag setup in. That would have been fun.
I'm gonna try to build a fast drag XMods-based car, try to claim the "Fastest X-Mod" title, than be done with it
I need my lil bits of $$$ for my 1:1 vehicles (check sig to see what I mean, haha)
ok ok. these xmod cars sound sweet. where would i pick one of these up?
i'm baaaaack!!

x2 I believe RS still has like a 1/2 off sale on the Gen 1 X-Mods (non-Evolution series), but I can't remember for sure. There's lots of info & forums online for the Gen 1's, but the Evolution doesn't have as much yet b/c it's only been out for a month or so, I think? The Gen1 sites have some customizing/souping-up info on the Evo's tho.
Please don't tell me there are actually "dynos" for these things. Haha....wow
^ To an extent. It only measures scaled MPH, not "HP"

Ive got like 5 of those things!
Has anyone here ever seen a Lowrider edge '03 tuner Cavalier. If I knew how to post pictures I'd show you it. BUt it's the same scale as any average Hot Wheel.
OBJECTS ON MIRROR ARE FORDS AND HONDAS
