Xmods 2013 Fall
 

Hmm interesting! Read this


"In addition, RadioShack will be re-launching XMODS, which are DIY remote control car or truck kits that customers can build, tune, and race, which will be available this fall." :eyecraz::eyecraz:

Is this for real? NEW XMODS FOR 2013?!

Looks pretty legit to me. There goes some more of my money...

Haha. Guess I gotta make some more money to burn...

OMG

I'm so glad I just remembered these forums the other day, GOOD FIND.

Maybe this forum will get some life again. We need new/more staff... lol

I CALL ADMIN PLZ?

I think it's time to get our hopes up.

I'm guessing:
2014 Chevy Corvette
Current Gen Camaro (I know there was already the Bumblebee one, but I'm hoping for a "vanilla" Camaro)
SRT Viper

I'm honestly hoping for a Lambo, but find it highly unlikely.
I'd love to see a Chevy Sonic as well, simply because that's what I drive... lol

edit-
I'd also love to see the '14 Chevy SS

More trucks!

Great news, but a bad time for me to be getting laid off now...:eyecraz:

I'm curious to see what they come up with this time. Hopefully they don't try to recycle the last batch that they put out.

I'd love to see a 2014 Silverado or Sierra!

interesting... very very interesting....

It's sad that AtomicMods is going down the rail! Economics....
But xmods will be in is heart, and all of ours to!!

Well as for Radioshack, let's be honest's... if there is rumors that will be a 2013 version of xmods... we will wait and see...but my question is:

If a product that was very well selled all over the world, that we even (Portuguese) have it selled it here in Portugal by Carson, and had and have a huge aftermarket behind it specially by GPM what the hell the CEO's of those company's are doing? (for not being able to see the sucess xmods had and have)

Just receiving money to do nothing month after month and selling toys that even kids do not like... reminds me the so calle RC brand "Traxxas"... making ****tless after ****lless after ****lees coming up everytime with stuff that is nich and very rare that no one normally buy.... If they make the real stuff like "Team Mugen Seiki" or "Team Xray", they will conquer the rc world with their huge Traxxas marketing! But no... make plastic and weird stuff that only 1 out of 10.000 person will buy! Whatever.... There are more brand's to choose from, and i would love to see a 1/7 truggy and a massive bullet proof e-revo from Traxxas revision to conquer the bash scene!

Back to xmods!

So if they are coming with the same evolution toys, with there own upgrades like the older version's, and aftermarket took it, they will be on top and rival the competitors....

Xmod's very well equipped are good or even excelent rc's!

History repeating itself I say. Just about 8-10 years ago the first Fast and Furious movie came out and everyone was into xmods. Now Fast and furious 6 out everyone gonna be into cars agian LOL

Its been a long time.

I remeber last year when I was in radioshack the manager, who in 2005 sold me my first xmod, told me that they would be getting some shipped in. That never happened, maybe this is what he was talking about.

I'm hoping for a new chassis though. In order to compete in the "micro" class at my lhs it gonna have to be fast. Technology has gotten so much better in the years scince xmods peaked. Brushless losi micro rallys can do up to 80 mph and ththey have things that xmods don't, like a servo

xmods had a servo....
micro-t's have been doing that stuff with brushed motors for years and years. the rally just made it easier because of the 4wd platform.
xmods were never hobby grade to begin with. i doubt they will be now.
another thing. speed isnt everything. that 80mph is gonna be useless on a track. hell you barely hit 20-25mph on a technical track.

The thing is. I race at my lhs against those cars, when it was just minizs and xmods I used to win every once and a while. Lately I haven't been able to win a race with my lipo and custom wound motor evo, or my racing spec mini z. They are far better, it's kinda sad.

Hopefully more news will come out soon about the chassis and models.

I'm hoping for so etching more like the gen 1. With the gen 1 the ts upgrades where actually pretty good. The evo upgrades where very small improvments

we should start making a list of xmods we would like to see, i would like to see the new honda crz or the crx

I want to see an evo 10 and a Lexus LFA maybe? Cadillac CTSV? Cant really think of that many imports that they havent done yet.... Maybe the new NSX concept?

Subaru Br-z/Fr-s
Chevy Sonic XD
