Try cutting the springs looooool j/k


Crypten: You mean to tell me this thing has functioning headlights and tails!?!??

 

gotta get me one those!!!

 

Ya, check it out here: http://www.xmodsrc.com/catalog/, go to Accessories, and Tires and Wheels, it's $24.99. Are you doing any body work? I have my body kit almost all painted black already, waiting for it to dry, then applying clear (working with tiny little pieces takes time).

Salt Water fish tanks = ALOT OF WORK. I never had one personally, but I know friends of mine that pulled their hair out dealing with expensive dead fish, fish killing eachother, and never being able to keep the water right for anything to live. I think that's why people hire others to do it for them. You got any pics of it? I am sure it's HUGE.

 

Hrmm, cutting the springs is a good idea, I will have to try that .

Ya, the Combo Light Kit, it was a must have I think. I was surprised at how the headlights have a bluish tint to then, looks nice at night, almost 6000k'ish . The reverse lights work perfect too when you are backing up, all they needed to add was a horn. I was thinking of modding the lights to include fogs with the Kenstyle kit, I am sure it could be done easily.

 

interesting

any more sites where you can purchase one?

 

does it only come in red? ICK!

 

thats sick

 

haha cool toy model

 

Yup, red only. You can paint it though, but it's getting kind of tedious with the little area you have to paint. I agree though, red is a very nice color on the G/Z, BUT they could have went with one of the Infiniti exclusive colors. Go get yourself one, and hook it up IP style.

Yup

By the way, if anyone from Top Secret is reading this, why didn't you guys decide to make a kit for the XMODS car?, just curious, GReddy and Kenstyle did, Stillen too. Would be nice to see the Top Secret Wide Body kit too. Did XMODS ever contact you guys regarding this?

 

do you have to get the tool kit? im adding up all my mods now and im at $166 also if i get the evo racing suspension do i still need the evo suspension and steering kit? ill def paint mine Ivory pearl and the wheels gunmetal

 

Nah, it includes a small phillips head screwdriver, all the screws are phillips head, and it comes with a tool for the wheel lug nuts.

That price seems about right, mine was $127, but I am sure you are getting everything at once. Are you upgrading the wheels and tires too? List what you are getting if you don't mind. I got the evo suspension and steering kit, the evo racing suspension is totally different, just the regular evo suspension kit comes with replacement springs, I don't think the racing one does. I also saw that had a lighter carbon fiber frame, I should have gotten that. Oh, don't forgot the recharge kit too, that helps for saving on batteries.

 

heres what im getting
XMODS® Evolution 2004 Infiniti® G35 Coupe Starter Kit
XMODS® Evolution Motor Kit
XMODS® Evolution All-Wheel Drive Kit
XMODS® Metal Bearing Kit for Evolution and Truck
XMODS® Evolution 2004 Infiniti® G35 Body Kit
XMODS® Custom RC Command Logic Light Kit
XMODS® Evolution Racing Suspension Kit

i want the racing wheels but i dont see them on radioshack but i did see them on the xmods website they got some mesh wheels i want to paint gunmetal.. anything else besides the battery charger you see im missing..

also what else do i need?
primer
ivory pearl paint
gunmetal paint

i need to get everything i need sent out to me cause im in Iraq and i cant go to a store and get it..hahaha

 

Dude...it's a "hobby"....I think it's cool! I was always into RC cars as a kid.......but what better way to show your interest in cars, but get a RC replica of your own!

 

Will radioshack ship to Iraq?, they hav everything there. That's basically everything I got except for the evo "racing" suspension kit, and metal barings. I only got the normal evo suspension and steering kit, I didn't check, but does the racing kit include springs, dampers, and tie rods? You may need the regular evo suspension kit along with the racing one too. Also, make sure you get the EVO Stage 2 Motor Upgrade kit, and the Chassis Upgrade Kit, I may go grab that tomorrow, check out what it includes:

Classy chassis. These carbon-fiber decks provide additional strength and stability to your ride, especially around sharp curves at high speeds. And since performance and style go hand in hand, enhance the look of your XMODS car with this transparent chassis that lets you see all the inner workings of the vehicle.


As for paintnig, I got the following:
3M automotive sandpaper (220, 400, 600)
black paint
clear coat

I didn't use primer, though maybe I should have. I really didn't need to use the sandpaper either, cause the body isn't painted on, it's just red plastic .

 

Well said jimmyc13, me too, I remember having a Hornet and Grass Hopper as a kid, damn that was a long time ago.
