Xmods 1965 Mustang
After getting the New Evo. Xmod... I was curious how much faster it would be than a rwd 1st gen Xmod. What better comparisson of new and old than the classic Mustang body that comes with the old chassis, up against the modern Mustang on the new chassis. I bought the body kit for this, of course, and a set of bearings. I'll use one of the extra stage 2 motors from my Skyline. The new type comes with changeable pinions rather than fixed pinions on four different motors. Anyway, this is a gorgeous body. I can't believe Radioshack actually sells something hobby-grade. I should buy a Mini-Z to actually compare the two. The Kyoshos are so darned expensive though... Anyway, once again, I'm sorry about the dark pics. At least this body is a light color!

Love the detail on the 65 classic mustang! How fast are these? I have browsed thru these kits at Radio Shack. Looks like I will make a special trip to get the Mustang. I have a 65 Stang in my garage! NICE!!!

The new one is definitely faster than the old one. You can tell even from just spinning the tires with your hand that there's less rolling resistance. I think the new ones top out around 12 to 15 mph. The trade off is that the gearing is so tall at that setting that it takes them a sec to get going. I have my new Mustang running the 10 tooth pinion, and it goes very well. This one is on the old chassis RCDad, but the old bodies will fit on the new chassis if you want the old stang body.
