mini z is a better and faster rc but xmod you can customize your car more like with diforent body kits. mini z and xmod have about the same amount of parts you can upgrade. but if you are going for more power mini z all the way.

mini z's are faster out of the box, however way more expensive ("you have to pay to play") when compared to Xmods. It is easier to get ahold of XMod parts if you are not buying offline, for me it is the net or driving about an hour to the only hobby shop i know of that has any mini z parts. There is a lot more body choices in the Mini Z line. Xmods are without a doubt, on there way out of Radio Shack, possably forever (out of production for sure); with mini z's, you dont have to worry about rushing to buy an upgrade because you fear it may be discontinued tommorow. You have the choice of upgrading body components on the Xmod line and you also get a chance to add underglow and headlights as well. I also think that the Xmods are more "mainstream", compared to Mini Z's which are not out there and advertised a lot and not available at franchised stores. Well this is all I can think of right now, I hope this helps in your decision in some way

i have NEVER seen xmod or xmod patrs avail at a franchise store, HOW EVER i have seen mini-z's at wal-mart, sure mini-'z are faster out of the box they have less body = less weight also LESS SIZE, thats why rs will not cut xmods completely especialy since they came out with 2 new models(and that doesnt mean NEW CHASSIS).......mini-z's have no market here in edmonton Ive seen stacks of them piled high going no where, meanwhile the xmods slowly but surely dissapear being sold to someone else and not me

Oh, and to all the franchise talk... Yes, radio shack does offer a franchise option from what I know about it (or think I know). I believe you can purchase franchising rights to open a RS store in your area. A franchise is "Authorization granted to someone to sell or distribute a company's goods or services in a certain area" accordingto the dictionary. This means you can ask the company to let you open a radio shack in your town. You sell their stuff, follow their marketing rules, give them a cut of the profits, and then you have your own business. Now, I think what he was TRYING to say was that you can't find xmod stuff in a variety of different retail businesses, like best buy, walmart, kmart, etc... You can ONLY find them in radio shack locations. |

Xmods are for extreme and custom mods...
Mini-Z is everything else. They are better in EVERY aspect, ever, ever. They are faster, better handling, more part enough parts (more than xmods), there is a large comunity (MZR, GSR, R7R, Atomic, ect), And are far superiour... You can also race a Mini-Z. They are far more precise, hobby grade, good radio, much more tunable. More body options, and so on... And, btw, in the "Hobby Grade" world, the last 10% of performance is equal to 90% of the price. That's why they can charge $150, and get it, becuase there is nothing better. It's the same with the Kyosho buggies...

We have Publix and a few Win Dixies, and there might be one or two Albertson's here in South Florida; Tampa area sees alot of Publix, Winn Dixie, and Albertson's. I don't remember if there was more up there though....
