Hello guys, it's been a while since i've posted but i've never actually left this place!
So what I've been thinking about is like some kind of competition to anyone who's into hacking all their xmods parts and do crazy stuff with things that aren't ment to be so. That way, it'll be innovative and it might even give a boost for the xmod community and give new tips as to what to do to improve what !
For example, let say we do this each month or two, and each time we decide of an aspect we'd like to improve/change such as the center of gravity for instance.
Someone might come up with custom chassis that relocate the motor and/or the batteries.
Or like fixing up a new steering linkage, servo swap, a new xmod crawler innovation.
All i'm saying is that we should all try to do something more original than just getting GPM parts, liths, a better motor and shinny paintjob.
Or we could do like a "mystery box" comp like all those cooking show on tv! We would need a team of members that would decide on what to have in the box(styrene sheets, brass tube, paper clips, plastic bottle, anything! it doesn't even need to be expensive or anything! Decide on a theme (crawler, drifter, trackracer, speed record), and it goes on.
And if it all works well, XMS we'll be the first xmod forum (that i know of) to be doing this kind of competitions. And if it dies after a several months, well then we would have atleast tried to do something...
So what do you guys think? Any suggestions? comments? bashing?
