r8/z06

[apcplaza]

I'm new to Xmods. I bought an R8 and Z06. The R8 is still stock, however the Z06 has sealed bearings, awd, stage2 motor, and soon lithium polymer power. I painted both with white and black color.

After the upgrade on the Z06 it incredibly ups the performance. Power and handling are awesome. With the stage2 motor I installed 8-25 gears for better torque. The car picks up speed really fast.

I think the R8 looks better in white. Nice paint job on booth.

the r8 looks sweet in white but the vett would look better in navy blue, yellow, or red. nice paint job though!

i like the vette cause it still has that all american race look :-P

Great job on both bodies, but the R8 looks better in white.

Thanks for the input guys. Can someone tell where can I get a bigger and wider wheels? And what size would be perfect for these cars?

The R8 looks real good in white. The Vette would look better in black. Good job on both though.

Hey winner. How hard is it to adapt them to the x mod axles. I think they might work out in dirt as well.

[winner]

i have never tried them, but mr.hotrod has, lol he told me about them. im on a chat with him so i'll ask him.

edit; question= was it hard to mount those on the
xmods chassis?

answer=no they have alan screws in them so i put the
alan screw over the flat on the d cut and bolted them on

answer=they grip like a sunnuvabiach

Thanks for the info winner. I forgot they had allens. Those tires and wheels come in a bunch of different sizes and widths as well. I use to race slot cars and never thought to try them on an x-mod.

their the cars that run on a grooved track powered by electric rails.

I like the corvette but the Audi R8 is much sharper in cornering and performance.
But thats just my opinion

[bosco72]

The R8 would look like this with atomic black dish MA-010 wheels

R8 Ftw

I would save the z06, I love the paint job and the body... don't get me wrong the r8 is an awesome car.. stock as an xmod z06 wins my vote but in real life r8.
