Chassis length on the X-Mod
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 1:52 pm
I read on another forum that the X-Mod chassis is adjustable to different lengths.. Is that some shit, or is there some truth to it?

Does it also change the wheel base? Interesting

When you shorten the chassis, does it also shorten the distance between the front, and back wheels?

only the front wheels move in wards to make a smaller distance from the back to the front not the back

OK, here's the deal:
There is a short range (maybe 3/8") of adjustment that can be made to the back end of the car. Like a miniZ, the back platform that the motor and rear wheels is on is a separate chassis piece. I think (but am not sure, as I only have 1 Xmod) that the wheel base is adjustable, but specific to each body, i.e. the RSX has a shorter wheelbase than the Skyline. You would need a different length drive shaft as well. I'll check it out when I have the car in front of me.

yep, you can adjust the rear plate, it moves the back wheels closer to the front. the rsx in on the middle setting and the skyline and supra are on the longest. i assume the drive shaft would need to be swaped also
