Default Xmods Street

Hi I was thinking about getting one of the xmods streets but i have heard they are not well constructed or flimsy and i was wondering if that is true or if there like the gen 2 xmods
Thanks

They are like the evos. The only downside is the fixed crystals. There aren't bodykits and the bodies are one piece but I feel that leaves more room for your own customizing. I would get one if I was you. I have the 370z and really like it.

they're like gen2's but many of the weak points have been reinforced, so it's a lot less flimsy. i'd recommend them over the evos because if you do the crystal-swap mod, they'll have the same capabilities, but the street will be more durable

the 65 mustang shell isnt very well molded. i'd recommend the GTR, the corvette, the R8, the 2010 mustang, or the 370z. i'd stay away from the 65 mustang.

take a pick, and go get it

Here's what I think of the different Xmods

Gen1: GREAT Chassis, Crappy ESC
Evo: Decent Chassis, Better ESC
Street: Same as above only with a fixed crystal (LAME)

MiniZs XD
MRSeries: Less interesting chassis (although lighter) WAY better ESC
MA10: Interesting Chassis (Have yet to compare it to the Xmods) WAY better ESC

About the Street Bodies, they look pretty good though the only pic I've seen of the 370 makes it look cheap and low quality, also the Wheels wit the brake discs attached are dumb IMO, also since they're one piece they should be lighter than the other bodies!
