Xmods VS. Mini Z
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2003 2:02 pm
This aint about which car is better, I hate that shit. This is about me spanking and getting spanked by mini z cars. I went to the local miniz tracks yesterday and got my balls handed to me. I was having a serious range issue, still don't know exactly why. I took the car back to RS and exchanged it for a chassis with the same freq and now get well over 50ft. With my new chassis in hand I went back to the miniz tracks.
Xmod setup... Awd, soft front suspension, stock rear, 3.0 10tooth motor and some slicks (came to find out they were the hard slicks).
When I first got there there were maybe 4 dudes. 1 guy was middle aged the other guys were about my age and homeschool boy (who will be refered to as HSboy from now on) was there again. I paid my $5 track fee to the lady at the counter and she welcomed me back with a smirk (Shoulda smacked her, but I think she's the owners wife and I wanna keep using the track). HSboy came up not 2 seconds after I walk away from the counter and says hi. I put my car on the street course and freakin zoooom. The homeschool boy after watching me for a few laps says "wow"
After about 3 laps I had everyone watching the car. One guy went and picked her up and was like "Is this that new RS car?" like he couldn't tell from my freakin TX.
This story is getting real long so I'm gonna cut to the chase, literally.
None of the stock mini Zs kept up to me (2). One guy with a uber hopped up car was spankin me good but when I asked him how much he's got into the car he said he stoped counting at $200. I got to take a look at the insides and it looked like a freakin monster ( a gay monster, it was all purple and shit). I picked up some metal mini z lug nuts and I can say that the wheels are now on there much tighter, no slippage or wobble of the rim. I also don't gotta worry about stripping the freakin nut.
Moral of the story,
Xmods are a good car worthy of comaparason to the mini Z. The xmods are still babies but I know that with a lil love they'll be competing. I also didn't see where all them steering steps would come in handy. I did slide around alot, drifted like a mutha (it was sweet) but I totaly attribute that to the lack of grip I was getting.
