Ok, I know. XMODS are old news. But I just bought an XMODS NSX radio controlled car (1/24 scale) last month with plans to swap over a CRX body to it. I'm working on it today. I bought the Fujimi CR-X Si model kit:

to put on this:

I've seen people talk about it online saying they are starting this project but then I never see a finished product. No pictures. What's up with that? So has anybody else here done this? I'll post the pictures when I get it done.

I think Sinful.. Mithuth, eh,, whatever he calls himself these days did the swap with an Xmod... a friend of his stepped on it though, so last I knew he was working on putting the SiR body on

It's just fo dekarashun, Woo Woo.

I was talking to CRX Fisher on YSM when I posted that. hehe. I gave him some info and XMODS mods to make his CRX-Xmod faster than stock.

im pretty sure the RSX has a slightly shorter frame than any of the other XMods... in case you're having any length issues

 

[crxfisher]

You actually want one of the longer wheelbases because of the different scales. The XMODS are 1/28, and the Fujimi is 1/24. The NSX one I bought has an adjustable length wheelbase in the rear. I adjusted to the longest setting and it actually works pretty good for fitment. I'll post some pics soon. I painted the body already. Looks pretty cool.

 

[crxfisher]

Ok, here are a couple teaser pics. The body isn't done, no glass, and the rear-mount isn't done. Getting close, and it's gonna be sweet when it's done.

that's looks great. a friend of mine has an RSX xmod, I was impressed at how fast they are for being so small. definately fun to mess around with!

Now that you lengthen the wheelbase (as I was going to suggest you do, for fitment reasons) you'll need the longest driveshaft.

If I were you, I'd look on eBay and grab up a "long" wheelbase carbon fiber one. The lightened wight will free up so much torque and speed form the stock steel ones.

As I suggested on Yahoo, get the following mods in this order:

• Bearing Kit- frees up a lot of speed
  Carbon Driveshaft - frees up torque and power
  Tire Kit - why have power with no grip
  Stage2 Engine upgrade - I prefer the red 9t for small areas and the yellow 10t for open parking lots.
  Suspension Kit - yellow front/ red rear for indoors or blue/blue for outdoors

After all that, I'd look into ways to add a 5th or 6th cell upgrade, or go to Lithium Ions, like I showed you my Subaru WRX has.

With the increase from 4.8v to 6.0v or 7.2v you'll see a HUGE difference in performance! (note: your stock electronics package can only hold up to a 7.2v load.) You'll also want to consider a few more optional upgrades at this point, such as:

• All Wheel Drive - can't steer 7.2V without it.
  Aluminum rear cup joints - You'll understand what I mean when you split your first one in half.

That's about all I can think of right now. If I think of more, I will add to this thread, ot yahoo MSG you. lol

Google Search for Infernal Xmods and Xmods World, there's tons of custom body mount write ups.
