For instance

Here I have an xmod evo

REAR wheel drive
Foam tires
plastic busings not bearings
no battery clip (misplaced it)
no batteries or body
few screws missing
no crystal in car
no antenna on car

Weight: 108.5g

My girlfriends Mini-Z AWD

no batteries or body
all metal bearings
alloy universals
alloy front clip
alloy knuckles all around
alloy rear tie-rod
alloy motor heatsink
alloy pinion gear
alloy front steering arm
alloy fron bulkhead
stock driveshaft

Weight - 107.9g
Well that doesn't look like much of a difference. But I don't have the money to buy one. Also i have a ton of spares and I know how an xmod works. I saw one hell of a deal for one on the bay though....i really want it, but i dont have the cash. Anyways, its funny to outdrift a more expensive car
