JiveMasterT Proven Member. I tested my top speed motor with resistor mod and rwd with my bike and it went 15mph. STock probalby would go 12mph. They can be modded to go fast, just not with the RS motors. Flash Proven Member. Get a Mini Z. Those are way better!

I had two of them. Fun cars! They have a bunch of carbon fiber parts for them too! It's easy to do. The X-Mod is probably really slow. JiveMasterT said:. Click to expand I've been thinking of a real usuable high speed effort lately Didn't Brick Moder do something fast too? And way back that guy that sold decals built one of the first 40mph xmods, along wit Team MNM I remember Moebrown 40? Who else? I know there's a few others that where fast. Gives me an itchin' to build something again.

Too bad I'm broke. I hadn't seen it before. Makes me want to do a custom chassis GEN1, not neccesarily brushless or anything. Props to Cowboy, nice build. Speed Checkers aren't accurate. And there's been a few brushed motors that have supposedly turned up to 70,RPM Most of the old school 'fast' xmods where brushed. Then again, a brushed xmod can be made to do 30mph fairly easily. Well I won't acknowledge an Xmod as "the fastest Xmod in the world" unless they actually check it with a radar gun of some sort.

Its up to everyone else how they interpret it of course :. It of course would cost extra, but if your wanting to have a real record it clearly is going to cost some money. Just as cheap as the speed checker. There is also some relatively good hacks for it.

Well, to me quick is acceleration and fast means top speed. We go far further for other aspects of the hobby. Your entitled to your opinion but I think it seems a little out of touch with the true nature of the question.

Whats the fastest Xmod in the world? In my opinion it can not be definitively answered without at least a low end radar gun. I'm not concerned with a trend. If its not stable at the speed, then it cant really go that fast in my opinion. They are jusy dyno queens. Well, I guess it doesn't have to be stable, but at least do it once lol.

Plus I think you and I both know that usually 50mph is not easily or usually obtainable on bucks. Also count the price of the xmod starter kit itself. Furthermore, a E-revo is claimed to be able to do around 50mph out the box. Edit: Actually I see thats not the case. You were probably right on the price of erevo. I'd be interested in seeing the comparison and the top speed! I bought the above mentioned radar gun, walmart had them on clearance a while back for 10 bucks.

It sucks, the same car will give wildly different numbers depending on how you hold the gun and we never got one reading off of it that we trusted as being even close to accurate. We could never repeat even close to the same speed reading twice. Dang, whip it out and try hacking it like on that website. Maybe that will help. Xmods are too tiny at speed. Not enough suspension travel, and they are fairly top heavy. My old gen1 was capable of atleast 25mph which is FAST for a car that small and stable without a body on.

Body on, it would roll easily. The just want to fly up. I believe Nic Case won with a car capable of mph? Making a fast xmod is easy. Making it stay on the road, without flipping and making sure it doesn't tear itself apart are the biggest issues. Anyone remember PH2T's 11v 3 lipo Evo? I had the 4 lith I guess we would all have different opinions, but the hobby standard is the speed checker. No sense to try and measure the speed of a little RC with scale precision. I doesn't matter how it's checked, I feel we would still all have different opinions on which is the fastest There are alot out there.

Timing is easy, you can build a dirt simple light-trap timing system just like a drag strip. PH2T is probably a few years before your time, the Aussie responsible for inventing the Nelly Turbos. Just out of free whim wired up 3 cell lipos back when lipo and evo's 1st met and it surprisingly survived on a stock board. Ran it for a long time with no problems form the excess voltage and it was hilariously fast.
