My xMods Skyline, show off your xMods!

[DiS]

hopefully you not gonna burn that motor Jcell

 

[JCell]

that makes two of us.....the motor is 'designed' to work on 5 or 6 cells, but i probaly messed it all up by trying to wire it myself


hopefullt it's nothin serious

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

No..I mean't measured the voltage and amperage output..make sure you measure it and make sure its within the requirements of that motor..You don't just throw cells on there because one brand "a" AAA will have different output than another brand "b" AAA

 

[kickniteasy]

this is a silly q, but how do you post pics, I've never done it before and I swear I did a search. Thanks =).

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

i put 2 extra batteries in mine, and fried the electronics, my range is ****** now.

Go to your "User CP" and click on "upload files" on the left side. You can then upload pictures from your computer and post them here..

You can load the pictures one of two ways.. either A. hit "MY IMAGES" and put in a thumbnail when making a new post. OR B. Hit the little picture window in the tool bar and post the link to the picture in your USER CP folder..

nah, i didn't measure it because i lack a mesuring device....but i did use all 6 radioshack 1.2 volt batteries, and it's running fine, so hopefully i got lucky

[SuperWagon502]

350 has suspension, bearings, tight-turn kit, Stage2 Road Race motor
Vette is Stage 2 Drag Motor, body kit, bearings;
NSX is AWD, Suspension, tight turn, Stage 2 Drift motor, Drift Tires, Body Kit bearings;
Not Pictured yet is Black R32 with Top Speed Stage 2 motor.

 

[JCell]

isn't the tight turns kit the best?, i swear it's the best mod i've done to it so far

 

[SuperWagon502]

i dunno i dont think i can tell that big o difference. I just saw the little bars in the suspenion kit and put one on

 

[JCell]

o snap, i thought u meant the atomicmods.com tight turns kit..my bad

 

[SuperWagon502]

yeah sorry bout that. SO they work then? and this might sound stupid but whats with the 3stack fets or the 4? what's all that stuff do?

 

[nonameheroes]

it helps with the power distribution or something like that. but yeah...here are mine right now:

wrx (using my skyline's original chasis as my skyline body is being painted)
Mods:
6 cell, bearings, lug nuts, cf chasis, cf drive shaft, glued diffs, disc brakes, painted skyline wheels black, mild body kit with bottom lips painted black. more to come as money allows...gonna upgrade internal parts with the blue alloy stuff from gpm i believe but i'll order it through atomicmods.com or ebay:

and my skyline that i'm working on. its got a camelean type paint job. it goes from green to blue to purple:

 

[Antoine]

I must of missed the boat on these babies...what are the startup costs? After mods?

Cool stuff (cool)

 

[nonameheroes]

they sell at radioshack for 49.99 for the starter kit. then the mods is what gets you in the pocket book. the radioshack mods range from 4.99-24.99, and then the aftermarket stuff (xfm.com, atomicmods.com, etc.) range from 15.99-??? what ever your pocket book allows.

 

[JCell]

man, my xmod is all ****** up, i spend about 150 bucks on it and i broke the welds on the intake already...

1) i can't turn the car since my steering rack broke because of the tight turns kit and me hittin the wall
2) i let the battery touch the antenna and now have no range
3) the car is letirally TOO fast and hard to control, so i have no mirros yet again
4) i've lost interest, funny cause i've spend so much money on it, and all it would take to fix it would be like 20 bucks, but i don't wanna spend it

 

[DE31]

Do they have to be xmods? i just got finished putting a new motor into my TT-01 Tamiya chassis.
