I got my brother the r34 Skyline one a few years back and it rocks. I think that I gave 50 bucks for it, I ordered it for him while I was in Iraq in 2003.

Those are cool. There are quite a bit of mods you can do to them as well. Like swapping out suspensions, swapping out motors, gears, adding body kits, LED head and tail lights, wheels and tires. People have gotten these up to 30+ MPH. Awesome price! Sale ends today!

Wonder if they will still be on sale tomarrow?

Sale ended today. Edit: Must just be the online sale. Northvibe states below that the in store sale lasts until 12/24/05. So you can still get one if they still have them in stock.

i was in the store reading the sale tag on this item, they said they would be on sale till 12/24/05. i wouldnt doubt that either, because these are the gen. 1 versions and they are phasing them out for the new xmods evolution series. go get one they are sooooo sweeet! its sorta like pimpin out your own car but really cheap! i saw one going 35mph....yea tires smoking and everything it was awesome.

Cool, I am going to go pick up a couple of them Tuesday morning.

Sometimes when I go to the Redline meet around here there's a guy that brings his tricked out Xmods car. He can actually drift it! Not like stupid fishtailing in an rc car but actual controlled drifting around objects.

heck yea! drifting is nuts with these, i think im going to make my 350z a drift car, then maybe get another chassis if i get into this mini rc for a race/drag car. mmmm im ordering a STi body soon

The new ones are supposed to be faster and have better steering.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 4:26 pm

yea and they cost 50-60 dollars :/ , thats why i went with this gen 1. just to get into it and see how it was.tonight i ordered a AWD kit and new bearings for the whole car.the friend i got the other 350z for got a underbody light kit, AWD and drift kit for me and him all 50% off

I have a Supra (red) but I cant find the Remote or the battery charger! Ihad bought the different motors, wheels, and gears. Not sure where its all at now. They are really quick once you change gears and motors. They are fun just need a smooth surface like a basketball or tennis court. They sit close to the ground and small rocks will slow them down. You can even add brake lights, headlights and body kits.

this is insane. some people spening 1000 dollars on these cars. they look fun but they also look addicting. maybe if i could find somewhere to race them around here i would consider them
