I got an xmods tC for Christmas and I am having some problems. I put on the AWD and suspension mods and new wheels. I turned it on and the front wheels automatically turn to the left and I can't turn the wheels at all. Someone please help me!

 

The alignment thing is set all the way to the left. This was always my biggest problem with my Skyline Xmod because even when set center, it would never drive straight. Then I broke the mirror off, and into the closet it went.

 

No, its not fixable by adjusting the L and R on the remote control. The wheels immediately turn left when I turn it on whether the remote is on or not. And if I manually move the wheels to the center on my own, they automatically go right back to the left when I let go.

 

check the pinion (at least i think that is what it was called). make sure it is in correctly. i had the same problem when i first installed the AWD kit too, theres a little latch that goes right into the part so that it can align the wheels whenever you turn it on. i would show a picture but i sold my xmod :/

 

i still gotta put mine together...i can't wait!

 

Got it fixed! I put in the tie rod incorrectly. I think ADR was on the right track. When you install the tie rod, make sure that the little peg that is down in the hole is in the middle of the tie rod tab. If it is off the side, you can only steer on direction.

What mods did everyone else get for their xmods? I got the suspension upgrade, AWD kit, racing (traction) tires, drifting tires, the body kit, and a couple other small items. I can't wait to race it. The only thing that sucks is that the garage isn't huge and there aren't any indoor areas that I can use it. Might take it up to the church gym and test it out sometime or some outdoor tennis courts though. Any body else have some ideas of where to use it?

 

big empty parking lot or down the halls in your hose

 

I got one for christmas too. Today I went out and bought the AWD kit, metal bearings, head/tail light kit, and drift tires.

Next step is the suspension, stage 2 motor and 6 cell kit. I would've bought all of it today, but I didn't want me fiancee to see me spend close to $100 on this. $50 was enough for today.

 

tie rod.. lol. it was a tie rod.. lol !

glad to hear that you fixed it

when i had it it had LEDs, AWD, and drift tires.. so now Dakine has it.

 

i got the race suspension, the high performance suspension and steering, AWD upgrade, body kit, the light kit for the head and tail lights, stage 2 motor upgrade, drifting kit, and the metal bearings...i believe it's everything for the car that's available

have fun guys dont spend too much now ;)

 

i got-

XMOD Evo Car Suspension & Steering Kit
XMOD Evo Car - Race Suspension Tuning Upgrade
XMOD Evo Stage 2 Motor Kit
XMOD Evo Command Logic Neon Kit
XMOD Command Logic Light Kit
XMOD Body Upgrade Kit - 2006 Scion tC

still want-
XMOD Evo Car - All Wheel Drive Upgrade

 

I'd also recommend the metal bearing upgrade. It takes a lot of play out of the wheels and AWD system when you get it.

Thanks for posting that site ADR. Now I'm looking at upgrading a lot more, so if I spend way too much money on this thing, I'll be sure to blame you.

 

This is the first time I see a site dedicated to parts for lil cars

 

i have the skyline... with awd and all the other goodies... left the thing buried in my closet till i saw they made a tc body... and its on sale at radio shack for $30... might have to break it out again...

 

today while i was waiting for my DVD/CD in dash to be installed, i installed the 2 suspension packages, the stage 2 motor, and the bearings...need to put on the AWD kit next and the lights and it's on!!

 

how pathetic am i....

my project for tommorow is to swap the green led's for the underbody kit out for blue ones

 

why do i feel like we're all spending a lot more money for upgrades on our xmod tc's than our actual car? lol.

 

haha yea i used to be really into r/c cars. i had a dynamite 1/24 scale car that was just like an xmod... the best mod u can do is get lithium polymer (lipo) batteries and a charger... get a 3-cell and your car will scream. theyr really light and charge in 1 hourr.

 

I got one for xmas, too. I need to hit up Radio Shack now to get some parts!
