xB toys are so cool. I like the baby blue one (have one myself).

My Dad still buys me cool stuff for Christmas. Check out my early present:

You could remove all the stickers and smoke the lights or tint the windows if that is what you mean.

I suppose you could, but it probably wouldn't be worth it.

I'm assuming that you're thinking about dropping a really hot motor or something in one or going with a 4WD chassis.

You'd probably be better off just making a mold off of the body and mounting that to whatever you like. Once you had a mold you could make HUNDREDS of these!

This particular R/C has a lot of electronic crap in it (it makes sounds, will plug into an MP3 player, etc) so gutting it would kind of be a waste IMO.

Are we still talking about the toy? Cuz this sounds like half the threads on this board...


If you need service on your diecast, you can bring it by my dealership:



Man, I need a newer pic, I've got the baby blue and the black/purple one and the Yellow RS2 and the cheepo 99cent diecast TCM and the red and blue clearish Hot Wheels and I was talking to someone about the Matchbox one. No, honest, I'm not obsessed and I'm not going to count the larger size ones or my Razo phonestrap one...

<-- (knows WalMart's toy inventory better than they do)

Modified front axle for front camber
Shaved rear door, will be filling in licence plate

repainting chrome wheels to black with chrome lip, or red with lip

OMG I want my own dealership - where did you get that??? That is TOO cool!

This diecast Scion thing is turning into a major addiction... I can't goto Target or Walmart without cruising the toy dept...wait, that didn't sound right....

You know what I mean!
