Ok, finally got a chance to take some pics of my xmod. I know it isn't much to look at but it's all about speed! The iwaver shell is waaay lighter than the xmod one and with the windsheild removed it's even lighter. This also provides for some air cooling for nelly and the motor. The shell is still a bit rough, I had to really go to town on the wheel wells, the extended rims needed as much room as they could get.

Mods done:

Steering fix
vxb bearings
plasama dash armature in a ATOMIC modified can with neo magnets
nelly v1.2 turbo
iWaver shell conversion
long guitar string antenna covered in heatshrink
AWD kit
rims "inside out" mod
modded rims to accept mini-z tyres
hard foam mini-z tyres
kyosho yellow springs, front & rear (hard)

I like it. It looks fast instead of some of these dolled up trailer queens (mine is about 1\4 queen, 3\4 fast) Can't wait to get my hands on a Nelly! How far did you have to extend the front tab to accept the Iwaver lid?

@ hiroto, I had to extend the front tab by approx 8mm, also had to raise the tab to allow for a higher sitting shell. This is required due to the rims now being extra wide. I know the shell looks pretty butchered but I might fix that up later on and make the wheel wells look more realistic.

@ hog..... you idiot....

it's a temp fix to hold the front end tab into the slot.
