X-Mod Evo Car, Nissan Skyline GTR on start, Evo on end! (Project)

[targetingxmod]

First:
Setup for carpet track:

-Front Diff almost locked, +100wt silicone oil on diff gears (makes cornering much more controlled)
-Rear Diff almost loose, just normal lithium 1:1 grease on diff gears (makes cornering much more conttrolled)
-Front springs stiff (Blue ones from Xmods kits) (makes steering better and controled)
-Rear Springs medium (Yellow ones from xmods kits) (makes steering on the back, easy, for the front)
-Front Tires more then 30º. Medium soft compound. (in here, softer will turn agressevely, hard will not steer at all.....)
-Rear Tires really soft to grip, less then 10º. Softer or very soft compound (GRIP an more grip, always needed for control)




Second:
Grey X-Mod Evo Car, Nissan Skyline GTR!



I started to like this little bastards! So "Santa Claus" gave me another one for myself! ::::)

This is the second version of Xmods, the evo ones!

Here come another way to spend € and time.
