the dogbones probably broke or popped out.

i drive mine outside almost exclusively and besides it being outside dirty instead of inside dirty it still works fine.

thats why you dont play in the street!

anywqys you remind me of the countless post on xmods.com the official site, one thread i read was about how xmods have been wrecked and what not, one dude smacked into a curb and broke his and others bl bla bla

u should check the tranny, actually take it apart, ive done that wen my rear wheels locked on the g35, maybe u got some friction issues,

clean it make sure all moving parts are operation and whatnot,

andi cant stress it enough, DO NOT PLAY WITH IT IN THE ROAD RAMPING ON SPEEDBUMPS!!!

if it was meant for that, Xmods woulda made a life size version with a hand held remote lmfao

man only use it on smooth surface, such as hard wood floors, realy smooth gargae flooring, cafeteria flooring and floors like that, asphalt will tear up the under body , and the under side of the bumpers, and if you happen to clip a pebblethe wrong way yuo could flip it

lmao, do you guys read the manuals, you gota toggle the switches on the remote, when i got my g35, when i would turn the wheel right it would go left, and vice versa, then i played with the switched on the remote and got it to steer the correct way

i read the manual, but we have distruction derbies and whatnot with ours down here an empty parking lot is great, sure we crash and flip but thats whats fun about it for us!

I have a crash body and a show body.

I would have intake and exhaust if I didn't own any XMods, and I had my car when I didn't buy them.

i read the manual but didnt see anything about the throttle not working like that. I used to race RC cars professionaly i guess you could say so I'm use to having to adjust the trim on the controller, but this seems something wrong with the speed controller which I'm sure on this unit isn't programmable

Here's an example of what I used to race, this was the last vehicle I raced and before this was a buggy style. This is the RC10T2 which at the time was the top $hit in RC racing. Always outdoors on dirt track and now I'm starting to think about getting back into it.........but I seem to remember having a lot more time when I was younger for hobbies

I don't have the cash to get into stuff like that. If I had $500 to spend, I would add another $100 and get my Viper alarm w/Remote start and tint.
