unless you find one dirt cheap your paying for shipping my friend, sorry. its sad that what you have to pay in shipping is what we can pay for one here now that they are on clearance

If it is going to cost close to $100 to get an Xmod to your door, I'd just get a mini-Z(or even an Iwaver) instead.
Xmods are fun but they are just not worth that kind of money.
For the price, you'd have much more fun with the mini-Z.
I only buy my Xmods when they are on clearance.

not an xmod just some cheap knockoff

1 they never made that model xmod

2 different chassis

3 different tx

4 xmods are 1/28 scale

5 there is no "oem" series

6 xmods don't have a charging base

these are just a few things i found wrong

The car in the link is definitely not an Xmod. Looking at the bottom view picture, the chassis looks kind of cheap. I wouldn't get it.

I guess if the bumblebee is $60 shipped, it's not that bad.
I paid $15 for my bumblebee on clearance.

Too bad you don't know someone in the states that could pick you up a new one for $25 from radio shack and have it shipped. That would be the cheapest, and at least you'd have a selection to choose from.

also, don't try to post only for the sake of getting your post count up. but i hope you find an xmod soon
now, if you hold off until you can buy from the BST, i think you could post a WTB thread in there and somebody could sell you one, but hold off on that till you're qualified. (spam posts really don't count)
