Xmod or Mini-z

[Hunty]

Well for a person who dosant earn a lot of money specialy not buy a new mini-z i need a decision what should i go for realy

[xmodzracer]

Punctuation? if you have the money to afford one, go with the mini. if not go for the xmod.

[Hunty]

Yeah i never get enough money for a decent mini-z so i guess people are gunna say XMOD

[07Rubicon]

Ouch... I can barely get what you are asking...

Anyways, from what I get the Mini Z cost more so if money is an issue I guess the Xmod is your best bet.

[xmodzracer]

or when you get enough posts you can find a cheaper one on here

[Hunty]

I think i might give mini-z a miss and go with xmods because you can do more projects and everyone here has one

[xmodzracer]

lol yeah, xmod forums tend to have more xmods. at this point yes they are easier to get ideas on.

[Hunty]

Thats what i was trying to get at realy and there cheaper and i see you were being sarcy there a bit :P

I guess so...Maybe its the fact that we're on an XMOD forum

Go for an xmod to start with, when you'll get decent amount of cash you'll step into mini-z's.

sorry im a little hyper this morning with a little too much coffee. but yes if you want to stay kinda cheap then definitely go with the xmods

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

well besides there being a cost difference, there is also a big difference as far as what your intentions are. If you want to do a lot of custom building and modding I would go with the Xmod. The miniz would be for if you want to do some serious racing and want a hobby grade 1/28 car. The Z has pretty much standard upgrades just like a hobby car and you wouldn't really want to chop it up. If it's your first car also I would go with an Xmod.

Yeah i have a mini-z but its kinda F**** and will cost alot to fix and i have had a Xmod and enjoyed it and sold it for some reason

[xmodzracer]

then you should probably go back to the xmod. if you already have some experience with them and all.

[Hunty]

Hmm thats if i can get a trade in with my mini-z and some money
Just the H plate iv got on order then its fine i just dont want it

Miniz's are great little track cars. xmods on the other hand are not so great. i think the main reason is because the mini z has very percise suspension parts that don't wobble around. xmods have huge amounts of wheel wobble which make fine tuning almost impossible.

Plus the fact that Xmods have 16 steps in their steering while the MiniZ has around 256.

[XMDrifter]

correction, mini-z's have 152. steps in their steering and their steering is much faster.
basically, the mini-z is the superior track racer, the xmod is well...the superior project car, but doesn't run nearly as well

[FinalGear]

Do an Xmods...I went to 3 of my local hobby stores and none of them carry any mini-z parts or support them with any accessories of any type.

miniz>xmod.
xmod chaper than miniz.

If you already have a working Mini-Z, keep it. Just spend whatever money you need to get it running reasonably (tires, bearings?) and then stop right there and enjoy the car.
