i havent touched my xmods since last summer, really. since RS didnt really make any new customers with the transformers ones, they decided to drop them
completely and since aftermarket support is pretty limited, there really isnt a market for them anymore.... BUT if youd like some cheap used ones, look at my
post in Xchanges lol

The mods are working on updating the forum to get to more parts of the rc spectrum. It might take a while, but we are hoping to narrow the xmod discussions and
expand on more popular segments of rc.

If you make some 1:10 scale sections and larger you'll get a lot more visitors. Most people now including me have moved on to 1:10th, 1:8th, and
1:18th/16th.

ZPart of the problem is that we are part of atomicmods.com, which only sells minis and micros right now. If they get the capacity to expand to 1:10 and such,
we'll be able to handle those parts better. Why have a shop forum for 1:10 if we don't sell them?

I know the board has become dead for a couple of reasons, For #one, I see that not only has one of the best Mods the board ever had has passed away, leaving a
big hole where the Car of the Month Contest was, and # two, the COTM contest it's self is gone to nothing, and #three, the cheepRadio Shack XMods are
pretty much been taken off the market except for a couple body style that are avalible. Besides, the Xmods at the store didn't cost all that much but after
you got them home and ran them a few times they didn't end-up being so cheep because you had to get all of the aluminum parts it wasn't cheep at all.
LOL The last reason that I can see why its so dead is that I bet there hasen't been very many of these old Xmoders that are calling the place dead
haven't been to the site's front page or seen the catalog where you can see all of the new cars and stuff they are starting to carry!!!!!! I went and
checked out the catalog and I was supprised.
Okay, they are still have got allot of mini and micro stuff!! but after all thats what they do isn't it??!!! Have you see the new 1/24th /Slash/ 1/28th scale "Race" Cars they have??? I just love the "TGR Sinister" and I own a 1/5th scale Gasoline Powered Car LOL.. The price is just a bit much but when some of these Xmods were going for a couple hundred bucks this car doesn't seem so bad to me, espesially when one servo on my 5th scale cost the same price LOL. I'n fact I just hope the TGR Sinister's aren't out of stock before I can save up enough money to get one!!!!!

had a couple b-days while I have been a member here, LOL. What you say just maybe a fact, but the problem still seems to be that "some" of the ones
that are older now still seem to act and post the "Ba.Ba Ba.Boring" stuff just like they did when they where children.
Instead of posting krap, post something about what you are doing to keep busy? Many of the people here would
rather just hear about something that you or the other members are doing these days to keep busy. A lot of us would just like to hear what our friends that we
met here are doing these days. Even if it has to do with what you are doing at work or in school or what you just got for your new car whether it be a RC car,
a real car, or a plastic model of a car we would like to hear just about anything else you are doing.
I for one like to read many of the threads that our younger members post. Most of the time, I may not know what these youngsters are talking about due to the age differences between me most of the other members here that is. That doesn't mean that because I am an old person that I am against what you guys are posting, or that I don't like to hear about want you guys like to do for fun.

Yes I agree this is diying out , but I think part of the problem is xmods got so expensive. I remember when it was $25 in radio shack you did'nt mine
taking it apart to make somthing, you may find somthing cheap on ebay good luck. As for me Iam a old guy that like to make custom Drag racing cars out of the
xmods. In the first week of July my son coming from NC to see me and pick up his car I made for him witch is a 70 Chevelle with 2x4 fet custom rear, alum gear
,slot car tire so they don't blow off with the Chilli motor. I have not test the car on lith yet just on 4v battery , I tested my 70 Nova witch has the
same setup but running a Amdia motor with lith and she flys! very hard to control it flip on me on the take off willy bars is a must but when she bites the
ground she gone, thats the car I'll be using . Anyway I didn't give on xmods just slow down a bit looking for good deals, right now Iam building rail
dragster 1/24 scale the stearing was the hard part but got it done just wating on the fet to come in then paint and decal. hope to have pic soon or vid.
