How much is your $30 X Mod going to cost after all of the modifications your going to do to it?
I used to race mini-zs about 4 years ago and we did have people try to race with X-Mods. Even the guys who could get a mini-z working great just couldn't make an x-mod even close to competitive. Now I've switched to 1/18 on-road anyway, so much smoother control and workability
