Default Future of the Xmods?
Are there any new releases or news of these cars. I know they released only the Audi R8 lately. I was wondering if they switch to a 2,4ghz system and new bodies

In reality Kyosho was kicking their arse in sales and performance. Plus the economy didn't help.

Just like other companies they dropped low selling products as well...

You will be happier with a Z for sure...

The X-mod was much more popular in my area. Lower price and availability were the keys there.

Mini Zs are hard to sell here as they are seen as very expensive and too small.

That's the perseption not MY opinion.

The great thing is they brought a lot of new people into the hobby. That's not a bad thing. Even if the radio did suck.
