Default I got 28 Xmods anybody wanna try and beat that!

I can't figure out how to put it up on here but it's half way down my web page.

www.freewebs.com/easttnxmods

if anyone would like to post it for me then go ahead on the next post. I've spent over $1400 just in cars, not to mention upgrades like: custom carbon fiber upgrades, mufflers(custom aluminum), custom built engines, and many more upgrades.

If anyone can top that then I would like to meet them personally, email them and tell them that they won, aim them and congratulate them.

28 xmods 50 bucks a peice (not including mods) = 1400. I dont think I would want to put that much into xmods.

I'm calling bs on you too, since at least 5 of those displayed are bodies, and a couple more I can't tell but are possibly. Even if you had 28 xmods, that's a total waste of money. For 1400, you can BUY A REAL CAR. You really only need 2 xmods (possibly 3): 1 extremely fast one that's nearly uncontrollable (I have only a really fast one, but I might get a Z to fill the 2nd void), 1 beater that you drive inside and smash without a care, and the possible 3rd would be a show one, but I'm not into show.

Edit: It's at least 11 bodieswith no chassies underneath.

And there are not 28 xmods there. the bodies do not count from chassies, otherwise I'd have 4.

Dude, I'm 44 years old and I OWN my mothers house, and I won't spend $1400 on XMODS. I have 3 at maybe $100 total cost in car, upgrades, etc. and two of the big and one of the wide lane oval RS tracks, for a total of about $650. But the thing is I make $110K a year and I can afford toys, if you want to impress someone, spend $1400 on one XMOD.

I'm 16 and have spent about 800 on xmods. The first one had 5 li-ions, and my current has a brushless motor in it, and will easily go over 60 if the tires would stop disintegrating.

Sounds like you need some cast on tires, rubber that is bound to the wheels, like a silicone slot car tire. The problem with anyhting rotating at a high RPM is that the more flexible part always wants to exit the lesser flexible part. I'm sure you've tried super gluing the tires on but have you tried forming your own tires from silicone? Just put some silicone calking on a few wheels, chuck them into your dremel tool and at low speed trim them down with they cure.

Tire glue helped some, but the tire still disintegrated. I think the Mini-Z tires will do much better though.

I'm not really concerned about how many Xmods a person has. I'm concerned about speed. How fast do your 28 Xmods go? Mine does well over 60 (and Viper, my tires don't disentigrate - use foam tires). Foam tires mounted on wheels can be had at www.rcbutlers.com. I only wish my foams were on aluminum wheels. my torque is breaking the rims inside spokes...

Brick, look closely, and you'll see quite a few are just bodies.

most of them (23 out of 28 cars) go about 35 mph. But the other five range between 36-48 mph or so. The motors range from an SB hybrid to my personal East Tennessee Xmods - SM (super modified) engines, they should be up for sale on my website within the next couple of months. I ordered a speed checker a few weeks ago and it should be here tomorrow or by monday because they had to back order it from towerhobbies.com. I'll then test them for the second time. the first time was on a friends speed checker, but i didn't have a camera. I should have some pictures posted of speeds on my custom motors in about a month or so. I'm still working out the perfect speed combinations.

You can put the foam tires on the aluminum wheel kit, I've done it before. you just stretch it to the limits baby! They have amazing grip on asphalt and concrete.

Trust me, it's hard to get 28 xmods that go 35+. it requires a little bit of brains being a junior in highschool at age 16 to have well over $2000 in rc cars with no job and a 2002 Chevy Cavalier (red and a five speed, gas ain't gettin' much cheaper these days).
