But still, price isn't everything. I'm no rich bum. And watch, once you get the XMOD, you'll want to buy a hop-up, then another and another and another, its always like that.

Wasn't like that with my Z but yes I will wanna upgrade the xmod but I am sure I will be able to get a bunch of shit for 50 bucks. 50 for the starter 50 on hop ups same price as stock Z.

I like the Z's dont get me wrong its just everything for them is expensive so I just packed it away for use some other day

How much have you spent on your Z and all the hop ps for it?

just got home from NYC. launch event was pretty awesome. if anyone went, they showed off this awesome foam track that has potential to be sold on-line only. i was a bit disappointed with the track. the company who was hired to do the track setup and girls of xmods did a really crappy job. track one was down for a couple hours because they used some weird tubing crap for the barriers and it wouldnt stay in place. i would have liked to see a bit more challenge. i won all 5 of my races but im not elligable to go on to the semifinals and stuff cuz i was workin and stuff. overall it was pretty kewl, the cars were great, lots of give aways, and a pretty good turn out.

Alright, im just plain out PISSED! The Savior* Inside has been mouthing off on how SHITTY the quality is on the MINI-Z, and I have to TOTALLY disagree. If there quality is shit, then why dosen't the whole world buy x-mods instead of those "shit" quality mini-z's? DID you notice that Tiny had a and still does have a WHOLE SITE just for the light of mini-z's? Are you kidding me that these are shit quality? Man you must be paied by RS to mouth off like that. Geesh, im out. and PEACE...

mini-z is overpriced, scarcely available, delicate, touchy... howd ya get shitty from that?

lol they can be fun at times... these times just happen to coinside with when your wallet is empty. and btw, a large majority of people who do rc WILL buy xmods instead of "those shit quality mini-z's"

Well for the price I think the quality can be batter for sure. They are nice cars but can get very pricey very fast.

As for everyone buying up a XMOD well wait till they are fully availible in all the shacks with all there hop ups I think the faactor here is gonna be price. Hell just look at the motor set you get 3 motors with gear for like 13 bucks.

For what I have seen and heard about these so far they are gonna be hot thats for sure

hehe thats 4 motors.

I'm stoping this flame war between me and the TSI right now. I'm not posting in this thread, to keep flaming down, and go on, i just don't feel that way for the Z, The Savior Insider is like, acting as if Z's are really bad, No THEY AREN'T. Its almost if your advertising for RS. Yes some people are short on money. And to top it all off, im a owner of Z's but will be purchesing a X-Mod and going to try to mod it using Z parts that i have left over from previous projects. (I have a spare RX/ESC servo board) I hope i can inform all you with this information once i recieve my X. I will do a full review between the two. Thanks! Im outta hurr! -mike

Well to each there own

I just dont like my Z cause I paid god coin for it but dont have th eroom to race that oftin

So the xmod will be a "cheaper" dust catcher. Now when I did race the Z alot I was happy with them stock.

You have 3 kinds of people 1.Z and nothing else people 2.Xmod and nothing else people 3.People who just wanna have fun and race/drink beer and loose there cash on them drunk driving races in the basment

Me I am the(after a few to many) "hey I bet I could beat your ass in a race" "OK lets do it then" THUD thats me falling off the sofa in a mad panic to get my car

Sounds like that Boner track.

lol, u kno i thot it was kinda like the bonzer too. but it has many key differences. the foam is in that puzzle peice format so that u can make different layouts and stuff. the walls were real nice. they were also made out of foam so they were real easy on the cars if u crashed. the tires gripped insanely well on it too.

Out of all them pics (thanks by the way, pics are always great) the only thing that really caught my eye (besides vivica fox ofcourse) was that the designer's car (striped white red and black acura) has some nice rims, and the ant is coming out the front.

My mind is spinning with ideas.

TheSavior*Insider · Post by **TheSavior*Insider** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 10:32 pm

that "designer" is actually the engineer who built the whole thing. u can see a pic of him there too. hes the japanese guy in the white turtle neck. i am in the pic where it shows all the drivers lined up racing. im the white ude lol. i have a red lond sleaved crew shirt on underneath a grey short sleaved xmods garage dickies shirt one. i think its pic number 45. lol u wont beleive this but im posting it anyway, i taught vivica how to drive them.
