Gen1 Nissan GTR Gen1 Yellow to Black by "targetingxmod"
Yellow X-mod Car GEN1 new from Portugal!
I got myself this "present" for the next project! A brand new X-mod Gen1 out of the box! http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...3112010792.jpg -In the box! http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...3112010793.jpg -Back of the box! http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...3112010794.jpg -Inside the box! http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...3112010795.jpg -Getting out! And now gona start thinking where to find upgrades... as they are rare this days! First impression: -It's a evolution toy, not a real RC car. But aftermarket itens surprass that! :) -It's loud when playing! -Very poor steering angle! -It's got an abosulte potencial for upgrades! You all know that... That's it for now! |
The body comes dismantled, so go working on it...

Yep... bigger gears for more speed... hum.... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...6122010854.jpg -Let's see the instructions.... |
Nice, are euro xmods easy to come by? Also I have a question about mini z boards, you know alot, how many volts can a mr02 board handle?(not lipo, nihm)

it's so hard to find brand new kits now. :/

so miniz pcb's... -AM 27mhz , handle 7.4v 2s li-po! Safe! On the long run, you should get some potenciometer's because the high voltage screw them faster! But it takes more than a couple of years! :) -2,4ghz boards.... hum... li-fe power 6.6v are made for 2.4ghz miniz pcb. More volts? never tried.... but saw on youtube an miniz buggy with 7.4v 2s li-pos :) don't know how much time it will work... but i guess it will not blow on the first charge :) hope that helps... |
