This page is where you'll find stuff about Xmods and Mini-zs, and possibly a few other 1/28 scale RCs. I have general info,
news and updates, and pics and info of my own cars. Please note that I don't do 1/28 now so there won't be much new stuff,
if any.
In case you don't know what an Xmod is...
Xmods are 1/28th scale RCs made by Radioshack that are better than most toy RCs, but not hobby class. Many modifications can
be done to these things, such as changing the power systems and motors to get these little 6-inch long cars to hit 30 mph
and beyond.
Mini-zs are also 1/28th scale, but are made by Kyosho and are truly hobby class. They're much better quality than Xmods, but
also cost more.
