Personally, now that a few years have come and gone, I feel like I've kind of moved on from the R/C car scene a bit. So while it would be nice for Xmods to come back, I personally wouldn't buy another one. Also, it seems that RS has switched its focus from toys and the like to higher end electronics, probably due to the recent economic crisis.
And don't worry about the hobby going away. There are still people into the mini R/C scene, albeit, the more expensive side to it. Mini-Z's are the last way to go if you like Xmods, even though they cost about $150 a pop. If you're more into small R/Cs in general, then the Losi Micro-T/DT/B/whatever they have are pretty nice, but they're also expensive (about $80-$120, depending on the model). Both Mini-Z's and Losi Micro-whatevers have a huge supply of aftermarket upgrades and a wide variety of brands to choose from.
