Xmods Rally Car project

[xmodsunlimited]

I tried but the tires get all bunched up. I will try again though. But i need tires first.

[All_Xmods]

Wow, nice snooby-mobile. Have you tried the truck slammed rim with your screw method. The slammed rim looks super nice with some of the Street bodies. Not sure if the Subby could clear them though.

[xmodsunlimited]

no but thats not a bad idea. I look into that.

UPDATE:

This video is me testing the RALLY in my Rally Car. INCH OF MUD, Sand for the snow, gravel, dirt. ALL in one road. Enjoy.



In the video, you noticed the first crazy flip that happened. the result was that I lost my hood scoop. It's okay though I'll Get another.

And My favorite part is How Rallified the subie looks afterwards.



Don't worry, I cleaned It after I was done. It's as good as new.

[GearHeadV8]

if you want real rally then don't clean it. wear the mud as a badge of honor and the hood you should just replace with a stock hood.

[xmodsunlimited]

In regards to the scoop. How would you feel about me putting on the stock hood and taking the scoop from the Body kit hood and using it as a roof scoop?

[GearHeadV8]

I would say that would look really good. either paint it a shine black or flat cause the rally scoops are typically not body matched they are carbon fiber or black. Some occasions they are body matched color so. It is looking great so far I need to post pics of mine. I race mine on packed dirt with loose dirt ontop so i can really rally and ill add small water spots if i really wanna have fun lol.

[xmodsunlimited]

Ok, I think I'll add the C.F scoop to the roof. and I'll post pics ASAP.

I really want to Make the WRC wing. any Tutorials for that???

P.s I bought mirrors and they should be here next week some time.
they were expensive. 7$ for 2! at least I have them now.

[RCrally]

the wheel is too small and the car is too heavy for running on snow. it looks better running on gravel. so cool.

I agree but maybe try studding the tires from the inside out, small flat head screws that you can punch through the tires so the points of them add traction, worth a thought/shot

That will work lol I did the same already but im slowly adding more and more detail.

The WRC wing there is no tutorial but I have a good friend making me one thats identical to the real one.

Do you have a subbie in real life?

Okay I'll have to find way to make 1.

I don't have a subie just yet however, My dad has the 2008 Impreza outback sport, My friends have the 2004 WRX Hatch back, and my cousin has the 1997 Legacy outback. I was Looking which one would you recommend. The STi obviously would be nice but, it's a lot of $. Something with power and still not that expensive.

But In regards to my Xmod, My plan was to make a Ken Block Rally car. But that would take a lot.

Well in that case get a Mazda Speed 3, 263Hp and 280 lb-ft with a LSD and a turbo [email protected] psi for only about 23K not half bad IMO as compared to the WRX with 305Hp and 290 lb-ft @ 35K

But back on topic.... I think you can get a rally spoiler off other rc toys too, I have seen some rally subies at 1/24 scale with those rally spoilers.

[GearHeadV8]

I would recommend the either WRX a 2002 or a 2005 or go with a legacy. What i might end up doing is finding a 2002-2005 impreza and do a STI swap so that way 1 i learn the car better (mechinical stand point) and on insurance it will still only say impreza so that way insurance isn't insane ha.

I really wanna do a KB car but no paint skills so i might send it to someone.

[xmodsunlimited]

Okay, good Ideas. I Am looking at subarus though. Don't get me wrong I really like mazdas. Subaru is the way I'm going though. NEVER IN MY LIFE WOULD I GET A HONDA OR TOYOTA.


Back on Topic: I will look on ebay for that WRC spoiler.

[xmodsunlimited]

Okay what do you think?

This is for the wing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/TAMIYA-1-24-Suba...item2c536e1c88

And this one for the rally lights:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_3720wt_1165

What is cool with them though, is that I get the Rally stickers as well.

Worth it?
Need feedback.

[dreamingISdrifting]

wow, the second one is BEAST lol. I would go for it if you really want it, not to mention you also get extra rally tires and a roof scoop!. If you have the cash go ahead and buy both for all I care, but if you want to save some $$$ I would buy the second one use the lights and mod the spoiler to make it similar the rally one.

[lol]

Well, if you have the money go for it. Lights will be a little big, but i'll take the rest of the models you dont want.

Nice to see somebody offroading in an Evo car and getting it dirty.
