Right now, I believe Ink Pup on xmod world holds the record, but I'm building a car to shatter that right now.

Fastest powered by a motor. If you car can't turn without major destruction, and you need to replace the motor after every run, I don't really count it.

Once the parts are in I'll let the cat (or a snake in this case, hint hint) out of the bag.

Let me correct my previous statment. Chino has the fastest, at 55 mph, with relays, which take away all the propo (or what there is of it) off the xmod, then MNM, at 50mph with his RSX.

its the worlds fastest rocket mod, and the only one. I don't, I can run it on the lthiums, I am maing a roll bar and roll wheels to help it steer.

1. CXP did it once. The body melted.
2. Bolting a rocket to the body will destroy your body. the rear mount will snap and it'll fly off the front clip.
3. If it works, it'll go out of range so fast any mods for control are pointless.
4. I hope it works though!

The body still could melt, and the body I think is strong enough, I think that the rear mount isn't.

lol- you should put a metal body AND REAR CLIP! :lol: If he doesn't he'll melt everythin(and everything will melt together and it will look like a big clump of plastic wasting space)! :lol: I would sugest using a B rocket and then move up to a C, for my real rocket(it goes up in the sky) C made it go so high, it landed almost 1/2 a mile away, 700 YD to be exact, had ta run al the way there, so i sugest you use a B. :lol:

ok.. well heres a serious question then..

how do you go about checking the speed of your xmod?



I had a state trooper(cop) friend of mine use his radar gun on my xmod, however it was a real pain in the *** to get a measurement.. We tried for about 30 minutes and we got everything from 30mph to 75mph..

I'm too leary about riding inside a car with my xmod on the street next to the moving car to clock the speed that way. Only for the obvious fear of running over my xmod..

Is there some sortof dyno or speed checker for the xmods? If soo, where I can I find one of these?

A friend of mine, said I could mark out some 1 foot chalk line and time the distance to go between then, then figure out speed, but that seems like alot of work and also too inaccurate. Since when the time starts/stops would be up to a human..

Any suggestions on how to clock the real speed of a xmod???

I have some fiberglass matting stuff at work that will withstand 3000+ degrees Celcius. If he could find himself something like that and stuff the body full of it, the plastic body likely wont melt. :lol:

The bad thing about rocket power is once you turn it on you can't turn it off. If it gets away from you it can do serious damage to spectators, other property and the car itself. it's just a bad idea, if you want to jet propell something buy a model kit, the results will be the same, you won't have control and it'll go like stink. Even with a 1/2A cell you're producing so much thrust your downforce will be nil.

As far as going 50 or 55 in an XMOD, that sounds cool, I won't ever try it, not that I wouldn't love to see it, but it's just not my thing right now...of course, I've only been into XMODS since X-mas.

Best of luck, hope you have great insurance.
