yeah you're telling me. Before I started taking it apart, I had maybe 1300+ into it with the engine, controller, and other ----. Well now it's time to put it back together and hopefully find a buyer.

Last year I decided to get back into R/C racing since I didnt want to modify my new Subaru, I bought an electric TC3 and all the Racing goodies...

Im well over 3k$ large after the boxes of 100$ a set tires, and multiple 50$ 1.71V packs. Its fast as hell though I dont think Ill be racing much this next season

yeah compared to yours only 1300, but this was for just a basic setup, not racing more of just for show. In actuallity it was more of 1500+ on just this one r/c.

Oh yeah gas ownz electric. :P

Electric is too damn expensive, i started with electric, then went into gas, and now I only have one electric and like 9 gas r/c's.

In the hobby alone I have spent ----, I don't even wanna start calculating how much I have into the hobby And this isn't even including all the r/c's I've owned

sry i cant get on every hour

an xmod is an extremely modable rc car. search google for xmods and you will know all They are about 6" long 2" wide i think. you can make it AWD, FWD or RWD.

so far im going to make it up to 6 cell capable. you will be able to remove certian cells so you can surprise your friends Ordered steel cup joints for the back wheels, cause my test car broke the plastic ones... =D also im getting some bearings in. talked to atomic mods, and im having one of their motors brought into the mix. im still trying to secure a CRX body that will fit it.

Yes, your right, but I have heard of people successfully adapting a 1:24 scale model to the xmod chassis. Not real sure what went into doing it though. You might find some helpful info here http://www.microrccenter.com/forum/i...p?showforum=27
