Back in 2007,I bought an XMod Mustang. I remember they had a Hummer but I wasn't interested in it. After my purchase, I brought it home and I couldn't believe the complexity and ability to modify the car so much. From wheels to suspension to motors to lights and more. I was blown away by the options. I eneded up buying motors,wheels and a light kit for my Infinity G35 that so.e guy traded me for the Mustang. Amazi g,the taillights and headlights were so realistic and cool looking, man I loved that car. With an upgraded motor, the car ran at about 15 mph. I could barely keep up with it while running full speed. Good times. I took it to the skatepark and had a blast watching it fly,and boy could they take a beating. I bought a set of slick tires and drifting was too much fun It was sad to see that RadioShack was going out of business and how XMods were no longer sold at those shops. For 50 dollars you could have an amazing little RC car.

Ah, the old Xmods. I loved mine back in the day. I did just about everything possible to mine and was just about out swap out to micro ESC and receiver so I could run a hobby grade radio, but ended up selling it. I swapped the motor out initially for a Crest Spinbrush motor (yeah, REALLY...a toothbrush motor), but finally went for a 270-sized motor (stock is a 130). Used a red gear for the driveshaft as the pinion on the motor with red gear on the driveshaft as well. Carbon fiber driveshaft, carbon fiber front and rear upper plates, two 18650 cells from a laptop battery pack for power. It was a bad son-of-a-gun. Friend of mine had one of the old Tamiya Speed Checkers and my Xmod would peg the checker's readout. Never knew exactly how fast it was, but I'd guess in the 40+ range...when you could keep the tires on the ground (or still on the wheels).

If your not getting one of the new brushless ones get yourself an kyosho X-speed motor and use the internals in a ball bearing motor case, Then FET stack the esc.. Also install a full ball bearing kit in the chassis if it's one that doesn't come with them and you'll have one very quick Z

I had one of these! Gen 1 chassis. This car also came in yellow. You can get steel ball bearing sets (which will get rid of a LOT of slop and friction in the wheels and driveshaft), new motors (which you seem to have) as well as springs, tires, rims, set of 6 FM Crystal pairs, etc. What it DOESN'T have is an upgrade to the ESC. If yours is broken, you'll just need a new one from another car. (Careful, Gen 1 wires are very thin.) I mostly worked with the Gen 2 Trucks, but the Gen 1 cars should also be able to take (unmodified) up to 2S LiPo or for ease of use, a pair of Li-Ion AA-size batteries. (Or do 2S2P if you want, but motor heat WILL be an issue.) It's possible someone did something a bit too extreme with your car and murdered it, or there's an additional problem like non-matching FM Crystals or simple shock damage. One tip that seems a little counter-intuitive is "don't screw everything down hard". If everything's jammed tight, the suspension can be restricted or locked, The wheels can be tightened into the carriers, and the driveline can get bound up. Either get into some strategic filing and sanding, or just play with it a bit and figure out which screws should be tight, and which can be a little loose. If the car was 'loved' quite a lot, you may have some cracks and badly adjusted layers. Just do a quick check over the whole car, and make sure the things that should move actually do, and things that should stay put do that too. These cars (and later trucks) can be wicked fun. I had a lifted Ford F150 Gen 2 that ran on 2 li-ion AA-size batteries, and with some creative gearing ran over 20mph on asphalt. With some specialized components and soldering, people have had cars like yours over 60mph on the ground, and much higher on the dyno. IIRC, those versions cost over $800USD. A company in Houston, TX used to make them, but seems to not be in operation anymore. The thing to remember most about X-Mods: Don't be afraid to customize your car. If you want to add or change something, do it. And if you're made of money, try a Mini-Z!

Watched your video on the XMod Skyline you bought on Ebay. Low and behold, a complete Acura RSX kit became available for $25. It works, and has two bodies (a black one & a grey one). Although it runs, it is by far the slowest (Stage 1 motor) of my ground RCs. Mine is a 2003 release, from what I can determine. Anyway, wanted to give you a shout out because had it not been for your video I would not have bought this. Now I have a vintage drift car for my collection. Thanks.

get yourself a set of ICR 14500 Li-Ion Batteries. They are the size of AA batteries, and each is 3.7v at 1600mah (1.6Amps) Rechargeable. You can buy like 4 with a charger for 15-20 bucks, even cheaper. And replace the battery trays with single AA holders on each side, or double side foam a battery on each side, and wire it up, with a deans plug to disconnect for charging. I important upgrade, that will save headaches, and wheels being lost, is to replace those plastic axle nuts, aka wheel nuts, with some metal ones (Mini Z uses metal ones), And the Wheel Slop, use some rubber O rings between the dogbones and axle halves meet. And if there are still plastic bushing bearings, upgrade to metal ball bearings. Huge improvement for sure. There are still suspension upgrades such as springs, sway bars, camber kits (modded control arms and steering arms to get camber for drifting),. oh and also various compounds of rubber choices in tires. and drift tires (Mini Z interchangeable) As for the electronics. The board is probably defective,... I Suggest (and a big improvement over the stock electronics) purchasing a Losi Micro T all in one Rx/Esc board with stock servo ($25-30 on ebay) and wire them in.. Its so much better than the stock unit. And just slowly start upgrading the chassis, suspension to carbon or gpm aluminum bits. ENJOY, and welcome to the 1/28th scale fun!!

Hey Medic, I don't know if anyone else has suggested this but look up a guy that goes by the name of "TargetingXmod" or something similar to that he's on a bunch of Xmods and micro RC forums that were active back in the day. Many of his posts and videos are still up and he shows a ton of detail of putting everything from lipos to full on mini-z board swaps into the Xmods, PN racing makes a Spektrum compatible board for the Mini-Z that I just recently ordered to try to retro fit into my gen one Xmods using pictures of how he wired in a standard board. Best of luck to you in whatever route you take, love the content! Hope you find a way to enjoy some micro RC action. One last side note I'm pretty sure that Ken Block looking RC you picked up in Hong Kong can use Mini-Z Autoscale bodies with the right pinion and front clip, I think the diffs are interchangeable too.

old reply yes i know.... just saw this vid for the first time. i had a ton of these cars years ago. i ended up with a fully modded skyline that still didnt really handle all that well because of the primitive xmod suspension especially for grip driving....i had lots of the GPM aluminum suspension stuff especially the knuckles to help with slop and plastic mold shift. the aluminum axles were paramount to keep from breaking with alot more power. spend alot of time shimming bearings and gears to get the mesh correct and remove bind. i filled one of those motor mounts with jbweld and drilled it out to fit a tail rotor brushless motor held in place with 2 set screws. then used a cheap brushless esc (hobbyking) and a GT3B receiver that was removed from its plastic case and wrapped in heat shrink tubing for an 18650 li ion battery to protect it. i ziptied 2 turnigy nano-tech lipo round cells with solder tabs to the sides of the chassis. then used a sub micro servo with a section of the horn superglued and screwed to the xmod servo horn with a mount carved from abs plastic to mount it to the chassis. hooked all that stuff up with deans connectors for everything and even had a drift gyro in it for a while. for drifting it rocked. for grip it wasnt totally ideal because of the rear swing axle suspension. but it looked cool and drifted well. i think i still have it in a drawer somewhere. but i cannibalized the electronics for other cars. i keep it around for nostalgia cause i had so much time and making things into it.

Noticed the back engine mount wasn't installed when you took it apart. Taking the larger gear apart reveals three smaller gears inside, so yes it is a diff. When swapping the motor it is important to swap the gear also for proper ratio. Switching to on, the servo should have straightened the front wheels. The red arms (instead of yellow) mean an all wheel drive kit was installed. It had the headlights and taillights installed too but they weren't plugged in when the cover was removed. It looks like oil was used to lubricate the gears. I made that same mistake too. Currently, I still have my yellow skyline purchased in 2002 or 3 and a black one. The Nissan Titan is the one I've always wanted for driving over things on the desk when bored.

If you need to, you can probably replace the ESC and reciever for around $45. Coming from 3 years of experience with a Losi Micro-T (1/36th scale) converted to 2.4GHz and brushless.

The motor should have another plate that fits the round nub on the back of the motor. They do not chirp, but you should hear the servo. The antenna does need to be connected for it to work.

Check the Crystal. Make sure it's the same color number as the remote.. and also when you turn it on the wheels are supposed to automatically straighten. I had the RSX body.

Yeah, you have a heat sink on that motor. Neat. The OEM motors are a bit weak for AWD. Sorry it's not functioning!

Medic I have two of these cars and one of them I turned into a drifter, anyways prepare to go through batteries like no other rc has.

I never did buy a x modz when they were around. Was tempted to tho. I was just too into my stadium trucks and monsters. Those bodies do look awesome tho. Got me a Losi Micro SCT and love it, Parts are becoming hard to find for that as well. Hope you find a decent chassis to but that skyline body on. Good luck man!

kyosho mini z is sooooo much better. xmods are radioshack copies of mini z. ive had both xmods and mini z.......problem is as always with kyosho...they frikkin over price everything. mini z is no exception, but much better quality and parts options even today. energizer eco rechargeables or a good choice and easy to find with charger. you are re "sparking" my interest in minis. keep it up Medic!!

These xmods were awesome!! Seeing how your more of a truck guy you should consider on gettin the truck series if you decide to get another xmod. I still have my corvette xmod but my controller is missing :(

Just a thought, check out the WL Toys A989. It's seriously highly specced for the size and has decent parts backup. I put Sinohobby drift rims on it for drifting but it needs the metal upgrade driveshafts as the stock plastic ones are weak. 2s lipo, 3 wire micro servo, brushed motor, independent suspension and twin diffs, does about 35kph bone stock.

XMods are fixable toys. I had three of them. They break easily. The tolerances are horrible, every moving part is sloppy at best. Bearing kit helps quite a bit in the wheel slop at the axle but there's still a ton in the linkages. The bodies are amazing. The chassis is hard, brittle plastic. I had my Skyline (the Yellow one) chassis glued together with superglue as the plastic spider web cracked. I just kept running lines of glue along the cracks to reinforce it. The electronics are fragile and fickle at best. BTW, the gearing is matched to the motors in color matching pairings. The motor's an easy change, the gear on the drive shaft is a pain in the ass. If you want to use the body your best bet is to make a pan car chassis from plate fiberglass or carbon. Run pan car hardware for the scale and a small brushless motor. Kyosho MiniZ are the opposite. The stuff underneath is awesome, durable, full hobby grade in quality. The difference is so great between these two kinds of RC cars that they're in different classes and really don't compare well other than scale detail and size. The guts are on completely different levels though.

Looks like the transmitter/receiver might suck. I notice that radio shack transmitters/receiver usally go bad after heavy abuse or just sitting. I had to refit 3 of my radio shack cars. Always love your Casts you produce.
