Xmod Rocket!!!!

Well i had the idea to do this for over a year i wanted to make it really good but i was driving my xmod with my friend and after driving my mini-z i hated it. So i went home and after 4 hours of work i went to sleep at 4am then woke up and worked on it for another hour and a half. i got a very good result out of it and i am extremely happy for only 5 1/2 hours of work.

You should put on some overland wheels, I bet they would roll better on the road.

ASC Auto Scale Collection. The display chassis the Kyosho bodies are mounted on. The kind used in the Mini Z rocket thread. I just said that as it has all the electronic guts striped out.

yupp it WAS like that now i took it all apart i filled the differentials with some putty stuff to weigh it down a bit. the mid section of the chassis will be remade out of brass since the plastic burns when the motor pops for the nose cone to pop of but i don't have one on.

its actually my best working xmod. nothing has yet to break and i got it off a friend of only $8. and now the mid section of the chassis was replaced with a brass frame and will eventually be where the rocket motor will go.
