When I watched that one for the first time, I thought that was pure genius... That's about the only song I've ever heard about an rc car... very fitting.

On a side note... seeing yer hoop court footie, and the more I watch the clip of my iWaver at the end of the other one, the more I like that "leave the camera on the ground" filming style... we gotta shoot like that more often lol... when are we doin' a bit video?

I don't know what a punk hoosier is either, but believe me, we(OK, at least me... I got kids) have mellowed out in our old age...

that's punk hoosier.
we can fix a car, smoke like a house on fire, and kick all sorts of asses... like punk hoosiers.

Great job guys I love the new 4x4. Now all you need is a truck body and you are set.

Thats gonna be hard!!! I have to find a body that can be chopped for one. Since Radio Shack's R&D department has been jerkin' off for soooooo long. Not a single new item in months for the Xmod!!! Plenty for ZZ's which is nice, but it is not the only thing they sell!!

@ CJ-- If the opportunity presents itself, please kick someone from RS corperate in the nads for me. Thanks and tell them I sent ya!!

Thanks for the props again pimps!!

I got some shots of the body shots. Some serious dremeling went into it!!

Here are the new pics.........

The smaller tires I mentioned earlier. The car moves alot better, because of less weight, but it loses in clearance. Big.

The rear wheel wells. Comparision of new body vs. 4x4 body mod. Serious difference!!

Front wheel wells. Same situation, major dremeling needed!!

New vs. modded body. All unneeded mounts and screws were removed.

Another pic.

Hope this helps with anyone interested in doing this to their Xmod. it involves alot of plastic grinding to a perfectly good body!!!!

(insert Dr. Frankenstein laugh/cackle)

I have a couple of ideas about increasing ground clearance, but it seems like its going to be very, very, very difficult!!
