Xmods Racing is ON! w/ Rules

Post by cj »

I saw this on their XmodsRC site about the rules.
DISCLAIMER: Void in the states of CT, MD, VT, and where prohibited by law. Open only to legal residents of the 50 states of the U.S. and D.C. who are 13 years of age or older prior to registering and who have or own a RadioShack XMODS Custom RC car prior to registering. You may pre-register online or register at an event location. Entrance fee for event is $30.00. Upon check-in, each registered driver will receive a competitor's gift pack valued at $40. Ends 9/19. Travel and/or prize restrictions apply. First prize winners must be available for travel during September 2004. For full Official Rules send a self-addressed, stamped envelope (by 11/19/04) to: 2004 XRL National Tournament "Rules", P.O. Box 6375, Burbank, CA 91510.
now I want to break this down a bit.

Does that mean that those states my not see races?
Open only to legal residents of the 50 states of the U.S. and D.C. who are 13 years of age or older prior to registering and who have or own a RadioShack XMODS Custom RC car prior to registering.
The package for the car saw recommend for ages 12 and up? :???:
You may pre-register online or register at an event location.
What registering online where is the link to register?
Entrance fee for event is $30.00. Upon check-in, each registered driver will receive a competitor's gift pack valued at $40.
$30 for entry fee and $40 worth of stuff doesn't sound bad. But Still a 13 year old with $30 come on now get real!!
Ends 9/19. Travel and/or prize restrictions apply. First prize winners must be available for travel during September 2004.
We have an end date when will the start date be? And winner must travel in September after the contest is over?
For full Official Rules send a self-addressed, stamped envelope (by 11/19/04) to: 2004 XRL National Tournament "Rules", P.O. Box 6375, Burbank, CA 91510.
California what about Texas were RS is based can't anyone there write up the rules for the contest?

I can't express how much I agree with you!!! They need to read their own stuff and think about it before they put it on the website!!

I would send my envelope but why? When they have a web site they shold post rules then a disclamer not the discamer and have to mail in for the rules. That is like buying just the motor for a bit/zip/xmod and mailing to get the rest of the car.

$30 gets you: an XMODS bag, an XMODS T-shirt, an XMODS hat, an issue of Super Street magazine, a sticker, and a Sirius key chain.

Also check out the new site the rules are up and some of the prizes are cool.

No modifications are allowed to original XMODS chassis, shells, electronics, parts, or upgrades including weight saving measures such as drilling or cutting. All parts must be installed according to the directions provided in the XMODS Owner's Manual or upgrade directions. Power boosters of any kind are not allowed. No tire treatment of any kind is allowed (i.e. traction compound). Only AAA alkaline or AAA rechargeable batteries may be used. Batteries (4 only) must be installed as described in the "Installing Batteries in the Chassis" section of the XMODS Owner's Manual. Additional batteries are not allowed at any time or in any configuration. No batteries will be provided for Cars in the Pre-Season Tournament. Once a Car has gone through inspection, batteries may not be added or switched for any reason prior to the ensuing Round.
