crawling fun. theres 2 upgrade kits so far

blk f150. speed gears and motor w street tires rims

yellow H1. hi torque motor and gears off road tires rim and softer springs

[chino]

good lord these things are stable ad they use the 130s way better. a good 130 in a 1st gen xmod is a great motor in a 3rd gen. and tha center of gravity is so low it just will not flip over even on rough parking lots. the bateries sit rite under the lug nuts. ad the suspention kit can also let u lower tha car, even raise it…(rally car?)

[chino]

its great. wow. really fast out the box. handles great even on slick floors. lift kit does raise tha car by changing suspention arms and legthening the shocks. new suspention is great. man i really gottah get one now. it is like a mini 4wd. jus as fast as a stock mini z and handles slick floors way better. stock tha thing hauls ass cant wait for mod motrs and gears.tha new gears use the small teeth weve grown to love from mini zs and mini 4wds. mrs4 pins fit too.

thas it, im gettin one, or im stealin this one.lol. awd, hard slicks, fets, mod motor. and im good

[chino]

ok, few more days nowand it should be comming in. lucky bastard.. im accually jelous. haha i need money so i can get one for my self. first things to get , evo 8 xmod and awd. already hav fet and a motor waiting for it

[chino]

i want one too. also theres a lift kit for off roading and new truck bodies

[chino]

hey its better than nuthing so. ill try it, i got so many xmod pcbs

[chino]

betty. the resistor thing u did to the iw pcb (for none propo steering) is it posible to do this to an xmod pcb? if so can u show me how.

i wannah put an xmod pcb ina $20 street bike ive been messing with.

and heres a thread i posted i while on it

COOL! still 4wd right?

[chino]

yeah but u get wut im tryin to do thoe rite? i still wanna use tha electro magnetic coils. since each coil has 2 wires, one wire from each of the 2 mounted to a ground-, then the other 2 to the the original motor connection wich swich polarity for L and R. since the other end already connected to a -. one would be pos+ and activate that coil visversa… ionnoe hard to explain, it sound like it would work but i wouldnt be suprised if it doesnt. i jus like tha simplicity of tha magnetic steering.

[chino]

haha i know. im planin to try to use a resistor like wut betty did for his MT. find a common ground then attach the other 2 wires from each coil to the steering motor connections. it should work… hopfully ahaha thnx for tha luck

[chino]

i want to but its gonnah be awhile cus i dont hav money. for tha mean time ill just do a microsizer booster pcb with 3 cell. micro sizers are on sale rite now for $9.00 us. so i just picked one up. heres a lil vid for now with jus dual cell. show how well it handles with the ZZ front springs. ill try it tri cell tonight.

[chino]

ionnoe i used to flip at hard cornering with big foamies with my 6 cell. jus be sure to bring sum hards with u jus in case the foamies dont work out. hard slicks been a well rounded tire compound for an awd xmod

[chino]

1:18? thas cheating, i thought it wus a 1:28 race? i guess thas a compliment for ph2t to have to use a 1:18 against him

[chino]

dammit, haha. wut happened to just making fast 4cells! not immah wannah go faster than wut im already happy with. uve fallen into the darkside(lithium power). take advantage of that 4wd right? haha good sh*7 ph2t. well… not really, ur making me wannah get more stuff(lipo,charger,reg,iwaver and IWpcbs) u and betty… bad influence. i cant wait to see the vid.

ph2t, is that gonnah be nelly powerd?

[chino]

whoe! hecka wierd cool, im so lost

[chino]

hey, my govener help design the H2. “the govenator” haha, but i do agree betty H1 is the top of the game but also costs 3 times more. i wish i had an H1, id be in the mud rite now

that thing has spring suspention up front rite?

ramming or pit manuvers alowed? just kidding.

i hear yah, its like when i race tha 1/18s. with a smaller car i run a wider track. a hairpin for them is a wide u turn for me. and i can break later than th a more powerful 18s. i can get in front of every turn before they all bumch up at the apex and block tha way.

its also funny how drafting works for them but makes no difference with my car. may cuas i have a plastic shel instead of lexan. umm now where to buy a minx body in the US

[chino]

hahaha i like tha way u put things. i gues the goal is just, not to crash or spin out.

[chino]

betty, with tha hard slicks on ur xmod, shouldnt u beable to floor it through most of the turns? may if u turn down ur steering travel just a little for that track. ionnoe, it might work. haha

[chino]

yeah saw that. what pinion/motor are u using? wus ph2t using a 15tooth? in the vid it looked like the gt40 kept up pretty good. but man that focus wus flyin! did it jump over that dirt hill?

betty, i wus able to beat thoes trash talking MR02’s. they dont know too much about tuning like u guys do. they only know wut they sell at the hobby shop they work in. the fastest ones where 2 with gpm turbos and that purple motor they sell for mini z’s. we raced on a pvc track on a smooth parking lot. they spun out more than i thought they would. haha good thing i wusnt racing a ph2t 02 huh. i also broke one of the 01s servo gears…”he wus in my line”

man, i really wish a can race with u guys

[chino]

cool, u can cut a vent hole thru ur wind shield like a nitro car haha. good thing it gets warm, that way u kno theheat sink is doing sumthing

[chino]

who won? haha. cool vid, merry xmas guys. i wus finally able to see tha vid. looks so much fun! i wannah play! haha wow that white focus really is a rally car. warp speed in to the dirt. that thing needs a parachute. how did betty’s xmod do? i couldnt see it to well. looks like it handled good. did it spin out at all?

[chino]

i wish i can race with u guys

[chino]

cool! i want one! it looks promising but i will have upgraded fets offcorse. sorry to hear about ur car

[chino]

hehe yeah, i got alot of “whered u get that?” brakes work pretty good, haha, see almost hit that guy’s foot
