Highly addictive to mini's and irresistable bargain from local r/c shop i manage to grab the first generation X-MOD and the best part is that i only have to pay less than half the price. Awesome bargain! XMODS whose previous distributor was Radio Shack and manufactured by HPI Racing made this 1/28 complex beauty which meant rival to KYOSHO MINI-Z but XMODS left too far due away from professional R/C status to its "TOY" level quality and not close to real R/C racing performance. But hence its chassis built was interesting enough to catch attention to avarage mini-z collector. It has very complex built with independent wishbone suspension, soft dampers, 4WD, servos, sealed differential, interesting driveshafts and moddable body kits, I also came in a carrying case stuffed with tools and useful parts for tweaking on the fly. Being labeled as CHEAP version of 1/28 scale as mentioned across the internet it still holds interesting value to me as it can be easily mod of fused its chassis to high performance KYOSHO electronics or just port KYOSHO's MINI-Z parts onto the base chasis of an XMOD for independent and cheap source of 4WD mainframe. Its nice to have one.
