My speed collection

Well i decided to show my land machine annual portrait. A new comer just entered into my life...the white road stallion..its a MERIDA. Now i got two buddies to fill my cheerful weekend and keep health and human performance top notch. My mountain bike already had enough dna upgrade and soon the road bikes will get her too soon. I'll try get some carbon goodies and stuff to keep it 7kg and below. I hope my body weight doesn't bog the machine down. I would probably get an ULTEGRA upgrade and CAMPAGNOLO wheels or a MAVICs but not until all the part got worn out under over use. I do hope i could do that by end of this year since my cycling intensity doubled each week. For the last 3 week road bikes seem to be the ultimate speed machine that keep my legs feels like bionic. Drop mine 3kg per week except when someones keep cooking some good food.

Hey look what i found at clearance sale! XMODS!

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.
