This is my first XMOD. It started it all. It has AWD, clear chassis upgrade with carbon fibre decks, carbon fibre drive shaft, sealed bearings and custom alloy wheels from e-b*y member ironlung. One day it will be full alloy. I really wanted an r/c to race outside but it is too low to the ground so I had to get.....
This one.
My Titan has gone through many changes. I have 2 bodies for it. This one and a lowrider style. Currently, this is the only one to regularly go outside. It has full alloy (including diffs) except for the off road upgrade pieces, sealed bearings, carbon fibre drive shaft and composite 3rd gears and AWD gears. It has a custom body lift that I designed and machined. I have upgraded it to JDR lithium power. The 5-spoke alloy wheels are custom slammed deep dish made by nagycnc with aoshima swampers. The 6-spoke are XI deep dish with IROKs. And the black wheels are custom deep dish from e-b*y (I love them because they look awesome. I hate them because they are smaller than XMOD car rims so the tires keep coming off. I don't want to glue them so I'll have to figure out something to make them work.) And since the Titan came with a blue F-150 body upgrade, I had to get.....
An orange F-150. But at the time it seemed the orange bodies were hard to come by so I only use the blue one. And I got a second one along the way. It is full alloy including diffs, sealed bearings, carbon fibre drive shaft, composite 3rd gears and AWD gears, and stage 2 motor.
Then I wanted an EVO car so I could lift it up and I got a Scion. Like most my cars it is full alloy except race suspension lifting towers, sealed bearings, carbon fibre shaft with composite AWD gears. The 5-spoke alloys are $$$ as the rears are deep dish. The gold wheels are Volk Racing TE37 (work in progress).
I wanted drift tires for a while but didn't like the high price of them so I decided to machine my own. While I was designing and testing prototypes I found the GPM ones on sale somewhere so I got them but I still finished mine and they turned out pretty good. They're a bit bigger and wider than the GPM ones but they work just as well.
I love Subaru's, so somewhere along the way I got a body and it shares the Scion chassis sometimes.
Then I got another body and upgraded the body to look like a blue HPI and it sits on a Gen 1 roller chassis with gold BBS alloys.
I still wanted a starter kit and I finally found one NIB unopened from the UK. The white wheels came with one of the other bodies I bought.
Then I found a great deal on another NIB unopened starter kit from the US.
The guy I bought the body with white wheels from was selling one of his shelf queens with gold alloys and so I got another one.
An auction got me this one super cheap. Even though I don't have a mini-z.
Group shot taken after I got a couple more bodies but before I got the second WRX with gold alloys. My goal is to have one body with each of the different body kits on it. The US and UK/Japanese body kits are different so one each US mild, US wild, UK mild, UK wild, and of course one each US stock and UK stock. If you look closely you will see that the stock US and UK bodies are slightly different. Did I mention that I love Subaru's?!?
HPI (bought it mint NIB unopened)
FUJI (got this from B1G)
Another HPI (Ex display model from a UK hobby shop)
Group shot.
Then I got another FUJI (Mint NIB unopened from Japan) and another HPI (again mint NIB unopened). Only have 2 HPI's now. (sold one)
I always wanted a Mercedes but couldn't get one so I bought 4 or 5 from UK and sold all but this one. It's got similar alloy wheels as the Scion, deep dish rear. Other than the alloy wheels it's bone stock.
I got this when they were clearing out XMODS at the Source. I had it for a year before I finally got a chassis for it. I got a great deal on a couple NIB Firebirds and sold one and made one a Cobra. This is destined for full red alloy.
Firebird. Bone stock except for ironlung alloy centerlines.
Got this at the Source too. A Scion donated its chassis for this. Again bone stock except for alloys. Destined for some black and silver alloy. (Can't find enough black to make it full black.)
And yet another Scion chassis for this one. Supra from the UK I think. Another set of deep dish alloys. I think I'll try for mostly gun metal alloy for this one.
Bumblebee Camaro has full alloy (including diffs) except for race suspension lifting towers, sealed bearings, carbon fibre drive shaft and composite AWD gears. This is going to be an outside car but I'm having a few problems with it and so it won't go outside until those are worked out. Shaved the fenders a bit for the truck tires. I could use car tires but since I want to take it outside hard tires would be best. And the alloy deep dish wheels would require too much cutting.
This is a project from another forum. ALL ALLOY DRIFT HUMMER/RAM. This started as a NIB Hummer.
This was a used hummer that I got.
And this is how the used hummer looks now.
It has some gold alloy on it, AWD and bearings.
I designed and machined some custom truck drifting tires/wheels. They are all one piece and slight deep dish. They work awesome.
I think this is an IWAVER body. I got it used but I mostly bought it for the alloy wheels that came on the chassis. Some of the chassis parts have been dyed black. I want to dye all my green lifting towers and orange off road parts one day.
And then I got this yellow one super cheap.
I tried for over a year to got one of these.
(If you have any questions about the three in the background, feel free to PM me.)
I just love it. No ugly orange parts like the US truck chassis, they're all black. It is bone stock except for the black slammed wheels. I can't (won't) use the alloy ones as they would require shaving the wheel wells.
Well, there they are... I think that's all of them. And each has a story but my babies need to go to bed so I will tell the stories later. Thanks for looking. All questions and comments are welcome.
***EDIT*** Each has a story. Thanks for taking the time to look and read.
