They should stop producing that "new toy" and on the next batch releasing the EVO series or Street series with the same upgrades they had.... at LEAST. Or something new but with that style inspired... otherwise they will not sell well at all.
This is the e-mail i sent them:
Hello!
I live in Europe and have several X-mods from Radioshack(USA), Carson(EUROPE) and HPI(JAPAN). Hey, Earth is a small village nowdays!
I got 35 years old and started xmods 1/28 scale years ago.
I build an home track at home it's 10metersx4meters in carpet for use with xmods and miniz's.
What bring the atention to xmods in the first place were the price compared to other brands like KYOSHO (mini-z's) a real world at least in RC world (hobby grade). But like the price the inumerous upgrades that in stock form xmods had.
The important upgrades are:
-4x4 upgrade kit
-Bearings
-Rims and Tires (Special the option to use the miniz's upgrade tires)
-Bodykits for the body's
-Suspension tuning
-Cars & Trucks
Those are in stock form (radioshack), but aftermakert companies take over and biuld alloy pieces for the xmods, gen1 or evo series. And that was awesome.... a perfect thing, the next step to make xmods a real hobby grade.
I remove the stock electrics on all my xmods and put hobby grade like miniz boards or losi micro boards on all x-mods i have.
To many people do that to... to make them a real RC.
And that was fantastic...but we are all in good hopes for the new line of xmods for 2013.
But for the pic's released this time.... you are releasing only the name "xmods". That is very toyish and the enourmus community all over the world will say the same....
Come on....
-No 4x4 upgrade? Yes make the cars 2wd but make make an option to evolution....
-Bearings.... essential upgrade to bushings, and that is hobby grade land....
-Rims and Tires... each track carpet or RCP or each floor (concrete,aspalth, wood, etc... needs diferent quality tires)... even if you make them there is the upgrades one from aftermarket companies for the miniz that fit the other xmods generations! A MUST!
-Bodykits for bodys... in this you did it right. Why change a winner team? Every kid and adult loves to change the look of their ride... Like Overhaulin/Chip Foose.
-Suspension... diferents springs rate and so on....
This are the basic that if the new xmods do not have, they will be sended back and sit tight on the shelves, and only a 3years old child could scream for parents to buy it! ONLY!
Please... try to make the next batch of xmods at least like the STREET version or EVO Series.
I have some video from youtube that you should see till the end...
I am concerning and helping you to win easy money.. and make us the comunity of xmoders all over the world happy.

-My Evo Lancer with some alloy upgrades, some Radioshack upgrades and 2.4ghz mini'z board.
And so on.. that i lost count!
Last xmods were a serious evolution toy that any 12year kid want to have and make upgrades on them from radioshack units , and 20years old folks and 40years will grab to make upgrades with the aftermakert brands to make it hobby grade.
Making xmods toy level with no option for those basics i say... it is a shoot in the foot Radioshack!
Ok. Hope Someone will read this and see the videos!
Thanks for making the last xmods. It was been wonderfull!
