Iced Supra

[drofants]

hello,

i am currently working on my only xmod that i have (bought it a long time ago and recently had the time to work on it). It was a red supra. i painted it "maui blue" and bought a white body kit. the paint job only took me less than 1 hour to do ( so i might of done it wrong). i don't know if i want to apply a cc to the body because i don't plan to hit anything with it.

my upgrades to the chassis so far are:
rs stage 2 red motor
rs heat sink upgrade
awd upgrade
gpm aluminum driveshaft
gpm aluminum cup joint shaft - rear
gpm aluminum upper deck front and rear
gpm aluminum tie-rod (minor adjustments)
gpm aluminum rear axle shafts
aluminum wheels

Futher plans:
full gpm parts (need to find a place that sells them all)
metal wheel nuts (because the plastic ones suck...)
spider v3 (if i could find one...)
full 18 ga wire (or speaker wire)
drift equivilent motor (but still has speed) (thinking about a size 180 for some reason)

I would appreciate any help i could get to finish this project

Here are some pic that i couldn't upload to this site (because i don't know how....)

Wow, nice choice on color! and a very nice paintjob, looks like you taped off the windows pretty nice. i really dig that color.

[Surgeon]

Really nice shade of blue, the white does look a bit stark against it tho. If you are determined on a two-tone kit, maybe matt black would be the best looking solution.

[TheB1GDude]

****!! Thats pretty sharp dude! I like it a lot!

[Donziikid]

Welcome to Xmodsource.com. Glad to have you aboard! :)

[drofants]

i checked out atomic mods and they do seem a bit expensive, are the any alternatives?

[Lancer_Man]

Oh, wow, that's nice looking.

I'd recommend painting the BK parts...Just my opinion.

Gook masking and smooth paint! :D

[drofants]

so i should go all blue?

[xzc426]

have you ever seen Doraemon? He's a character from this japanese cartoon and your car reminds me of him lol. Great looking car though lol.

post some pictures of the chassis I love seeing GPM

[2wdpancar]

Get GPM off RCXMINI.
They will always have my loyalty.
Also, just get stacked FETS.
V3 is a waste in an xmod.

:lol:

here are some pics of the few gpm parts i have:

I would recomend installing a tight turn kit if you have not already all it is is 2 resistors that go on two wires going to pot on the servo or atomicmods sells two tiny resistors that go on the board it really helps you get more out of a gen one chassis.

Please paint that body kit.. other than that it looks great.

[drofants]

i do think i will paint the body kit, but i want to find a good looking color that will work with the blue or is close to white

Step 1:
Rewire Your Xmod!:)

[drofants]

*Update* made a locked diff and mono shock, will upload pics soon. still looking for a color for the bk, so if anyone has a good idea for the color i would like to hear some opinions. also i started on upgrading my wires (only red and black) by cutting the lengths and tinning them (if thats the right term...never soldered before), might get that done in a week or so, then i will move on to getting full gpm and a new motor.

Dude if you like it then leave it, dont let anyone tell you how to paint your xmods. I think It looks great, good job man!

[SYNDYCATE]

cant you just paint it the same colour..or maybe do the bumpers -(half way) paint them orange kinda like a 2-tone paint job:nod:

[drofants]

i found some arosol cameleon paint that i am thinking about for the bk or maybe some paint that makes gives a mirror like appearance.
