Raising the back of my xmod

I did put bigger tyres on already, i thought about lego ones but it didnt look right. I like it like that but im going to get a big screw and small washer (Hopefully) Or something more firm.. involving superglue and not sillicone. Also, the body moves up and down because the bottom of the side skirt doesnt fit under the battery holder (which is a real big pain).

What the fuck is that.

It's the same as the following statement, but in black type in the original post and gray in the quoted posted.

Here I display it in a fine shade of GREEN.

You can higher get much more, try if you should have used boots the.

What color are you going to paint it? Skar?:lol:

You need to loose the plastic nutz and put some nyloks on there.

Try lowering it a little in the rear. The screw that connects the rear clip to the body, replace that with a longer screw, and put a stock yellow bushing between the clip and the body. This should slightly raise the body at the rear.

Also you can check how it looks with the stock body arrangement and see how you like it. It just may turn out that "less is more"

A bushing is like a rubber washer and you can find bigger screws at any hardware store next time your parents go have them take you, you could probably get a little pack of screws for a buck.

Do you have any spare Xmods? if so, you could use the long screw that secures the rear upper deck. that should work nicely.

The bushings are the yellow pieces of plastic in your Xmods that you replace with bearings. You can use one of those as a spacer for the rear clip to raise the back a tad.

not really, but the screw that I identified is responsible for setting your battery position, hance you will need an extra Xmod. Or your batteries will be sliding back and forth putting undue strain on your battery wires.
