Exclamation FACT: New Evo XMods

Yup, just like WRX Ryder said, there are new XMods. Of course, it only makes sense. Christmas months are closing in on us, and the XMod is one of Radio Shacks best sellers! So, heres the low-down. Today I did some research over the telephone. I called eighteen (yes, it took a while) Radio Shacks and asked them "Are there going to be new XMod models coming out sometime soon?" And here are the results.

Five of the stores said yes there will be, and thirteen stores didn't know and/or suggested the Radio Shack website or to try XModsRC.com. And yes, there will be a Scion TC coming out (I'll be one of the first to grab it!) and one more XMod, but no one knew what the other one was "right off the top of their head." So, I'll call back tomorrow and see if they can see the top of their heads. Well, I hope that helped clear the confusion, and now you know, RodsRUs, that WRX Ryder wasn't bull****ting you. WRX Ryder was right. For once.

I'm with you dude... These guys are complaining how they break too easily... Well, that sort of tells you that they're playin' with them too harsh... If you guys try racing 1/10 buggy or 1/10 electric or nitro touring, they're more fragile than Xmods... Scrub the walls and you may end up bending turnbuckles, breaking upper or lower arms, and even tweaking your chassis, especially if you're running a pivotball susp. And repairing them costs more than what you paid for your starter kit... So you guys, just quit complaining.

HELLZ YA! I'll post whatever the other XMod that is coming out is. But I'm definately gonna get the tC. I just hope the put something good out, like another sport compact. But, it would be a helluva lot more practical if they came out with an SUV. Like trying to appeal to the black community and come out with an Escalade. I think that would be really sweet, and to make the mix complete, they would have to come out with a spinners wheel upgrade. But, if (and when) I do get the tC (unless the other XMod appeals to me a whole lot more) I'm gonna make it my project car, but I'm not gonna say what I will do to it, but I allready have lots of ideas . But just to spice up this forum, I'm gonna post a list of cars I think that they would really appeal to Radio Shack, becuase I think they would sell a lot more with these cars:

And for the compact class....:
Honda Prelude (represent! lol)
Mazda Miata (now the MX-5)
Mazda RX-8
Hyundai Tiburon (just blah for my tastes)
Mitsubishi Eclipe (blah for my tastes too, but would be very appealing to others)
Chevy Cobalt SS (I would rather have this than the tC)
Volkswagen GTI
Volkswagen Beetle RSI

And for the truck/SUV class...:
Honda Pilot
Dodge Durango
Dodge Ram (Hemi definately)
Caddy Escaldeizzle ()

And for the V8 muscle...:
60's Vette
Dodge Charger (Hemi)
Dodge Magnum (again, Hemi)
Chrysler 300C (AWD Hemi)
Old and/or new Challenger
Plymouth Superbird (yep, the one with the huge spoiler)

I was thinking of some others, but I forgot them half-way through. I'll post them if I think of any more good ones. I'll also post if I figure out what the other new XMod will be. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more!


PLEASE STOP ARGUING ABOUT WHICH IS BETTER, THE FIRST GENERATION CHASSIS OR THE EVO CHASSIS. GO TO MY NEW THREAD ABOUT THIS AND ARGUE THERE!!!!! But please, this HAS TO STOP! I've seen WAY too many threads have been closed due to this issue. And really, I don't want any of mine to close. Thanks

If only Hyundai made the Tiburon GT V6 in RWD... Its got the looks of a sports car, but not the driveline to boot...

Add in a Nissan Cube to that SUV/Truck lineup

Thank you! I completely forgot about the legendary Corolla. My MAJOR bad! With the insanly good balance, it friggin ROCKS through the corners! But the only bad side is that you won't find tourqe ANYWHERE in the motor. And, you can't put a turbo or superchager on it to fix the power problem, cause it will completely throw off the balance. My bad!

Yeah, but don't have RS put Corolla GT-S insignia on it, Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex insignia would be much better! and a two-tone white/black too. And include Watanabes!
