I really love this car, and the performance it is capable of.
I think we need to stop stressing the difference between and Xmod, and a Mini-z, you get what you pay for, and if you want the better platform, go Z.
Xmods is a lot of DIY, Mini-z is not. Xmods isn't competitive, Mini-z is. They're different cars, that share a scale, its about time we stopped arguing.
I bet you someone can build an Xmod that is race-worthy against a Z, it may take a lot of money, but its possible..
As to say Xmods are bad, its not true, they serve a different purpose. A higher quality RC doesn't mean a higher quality community, if everyone in this community bought a mini-z, there would be a lot of possibility, and the DIY aspect of Xmods would definitely give our Zs an edge.
Stop the arguing. There it is, plain.and.simple ^
Great car by the way
But I'm not sure about your whole perspective of that the only way your Xmod is useful, is if it has a Mini-Z board in it...
