I'm afraid so. However, if nerding out like that is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

The one on the right looks really good. Who makes it?

It's a Tamiya Model I ordered from Amazon, I had to put it together with the pictures, because the instructions were written in Japanese.

hey look, how thoughtful! the guy is selfless. didn't wanna just buy a z car only for himself and leave his family stranded, so he bought his wife and kids each a z car just like himself:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

no i think those are all personal use. Ithink someone should buy the xmods 370z and throw everyperformance part for these cars at it. You can get ceramic ball bearings, full billet aluminum axles and frame/suspension pieces, a crabon fiber chasis, more powerfull motors, 4wd, and more. It's sick you could drop a grand easy in a little toy car.

the one in the middle is an xmod, but I will not be dropping a grand on it.
(fyi: left z=transformer toy, middle z=RadioShack xmod (painted), right z=Tamiya model)

I've put a few of the Atomicmods employees' kids through college:

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC_0114.jpg

A Gen1 Skyline, EVO GT-R, EVO 370Z and EVO Titan. The Titan has the lift kit, all-wheel drive, stage 2 motor, lower gears and two sets of lights and has been rolled a few times in the parking lot.... The 370Z only has an ABEC1 unshielded bearing kit. The GT-R has the stage 2 motor and all-wheel drive. The Skyline on the other hand...

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...DSC_0115-1.jpg

*deep breath* AWD, ABEC1 unshielded bearings, machined billet aluminum chassis components (if it was plastic, it got replaced if an aluminum part existed), aluminum drivetrain components (same story), 2x2 stacked 4562 FETs (that were a major PITA to solder on), on/off switch delete, billet aluminum motor heat sink, aluminum ridgeless wheels wrapped with soft compound tires, blue locking wheel nuts, Li-po batteries (7.4V), Atomic Z2 high current motor and a blue Switchblade chassis with a spare Skyline body for driving. You seriously don't want to know how much I've sunk into just this little 1:28 scale RC car! But at least it's pretty quick ~34mph:

OMG AWD R/c car dyno FTW! if i owned a tuning shop i'd have one of those so that everytime someone asked for a free or ridiculously priced dyno pull i could wip that baby out and go "sure just so long as it fits on here and weighs no more than 5 pounds"

Thanks Titan1080! R/C racing is a big hobby of mine, but I haven't gotten into the 1/24 scale seen yet, so I understand how much money you could blow on those things:driving:

Ugh white's not a color. Red is a color. White is meant for underwear and kitchens.

My local radio shack had the xmods 370z on clearance for $24.95, so I couldn't resist at that price.
