Hey everyone. Ive been really looking into buying the 2009 370 xmod car because i feel it is a fun hobby i would like to get into but i have a few questions before i make my purchase. First is that i want to buy the car and put in the stilleto chasis and i also want to buy the upgraded battery pack, the Ion Pro 2S, but i had a question on how to recharge the battery because it doesnt come with a charger?. I am also looking at buying the Scion tC body for my car but is there another part u need besides just the body to mount it?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated. |

If your looking at driving around for fun and doing upgrades, Xmods are great. IF your looking at finding a local club, do upgrades and use them to race competitively on a track, I would like to kindly direct you towards the Mini-Z line of RC cars. |
thanks that really helps ya i want to go with the 2S lithium pack with the stilletto chasis

Thanks for the help. i was looking up some instructions on installing the stilletto chassis that doesnt look hard, but i dont kno how hard it is to install the new battery pack. and also where do i find out what drive shaft and motor spacer i need when i get a new body for the car?
does anyone have any suggestions besides the new battery and the chassis that i should get before that? whats the difference between the Xmods Evolution 2009 370z and the Xmods Street 370z? |

If your doing this, additional mods depend on the purpose of the vehicle. However, generally speaking, a car with lithium generally needs the following upgrades to be reasonably driveable for any purpose. 1. heat sink - Your motor will heat up fast. 2. All wheel drive- Your car will not have much traction 3. Tires- Your car will not have much traction 4. Bearings- Reduce drag and tighten up slop 5. Vented canister motor - Your motor will heat up fast I'd like you to know that the lithium mod is not suitable for most track conditions. What do you plan on doing with this car? |
i plan on just using it to mess around in my house drifting and such

I don't recommend lithium for drifting, as thats WAY too powerful. But rather 4 AAA's like the stock configuration. But instead of crap batteries, use R1Wurks or something. Heres what I think for a ideal drifter. Not saying Action B's is wrong or anything.
4 AAAs - R1Wurks or Team Orion batteries AWD - Needed to ease drift Torquey motor - Atomic stock BB motor would be fine here Tires - Hard slicks or the drift kit. GPM - Dogbones and axles for less slop and the dogbones are known to break easy. Bearings - Need the drivetrain to be smooth Now, if you really want to go all the way, get some derlin gears which are smooth then stock and a CF driveshaft which is lighter which means more power. Probably forgot a thing or two, it's late and I'm tired. |
Welcome.. and everything that could be said pretty much has been said here, haha

well i was thinking lithium cuz i dont just want to drift i want to go fast to lol. my basement is about 2000sq feet so i have a big space to play in. also are these things ok to use outside like on pavement?

well im pretty handy with electronics, specially when its only a little bit of soldering and i can follow directions pretty well. its not to much for my budget, the 2S lithium pack is only 29.99, then the chasis is another 30 so its not to bad in terms of price

|
the lithium pack on ebay comes with a charger
|
thats not a safe charger, if you were tp accidently over charge with thoose chargers you will blow up the lipo set..
|
why would they sell a kit with a charger if the charger is going to blow up the battery pack? and if that charger is no good how much is a lipo charger then?

well we will see. im not going to do this all at once but i do plan on going lithium as one of my first mods. I hate the stupid ugly clonking battery pack that is on the car stock. so i want the sleeker look of the upgraded chassis with the lith 2S
well with that charger that is unsafe. how long do you have to overcharge the battery for it to blow up? and how long does it take to charge the battery?. im glad your helping me out with this befor i make any decisions and set myself back some monney |
