BEST THANKSGIVING GIFT EVER to a tC OWNER! (PICS)
I know it says gift but I actually bought these for myself. Anywayz, this is not the tC model kits like others that are selling on ebay. this is the real deal R/C car made by Xmods Evolution. (Got it from Radioshack but you can get it at www.xmodsrc.com as well) Dont underestimate it b/c this thing is fast! (I guess they should be since they use the same base for every other car (Skyline, Evo, Z, G35, etc) So i guess it's tC is at least fast at the r/c track, lol.
There are quite a bit of accessories for it including lighting kit (headlights and taillights), underbody lighting, suspension upgrade, stage II motor upgrade, drift kit, ALL WHEEL drive kit. And oh did i mention it's a REAR WHEEL DRIVE? So i'll be drifiting it.
I bought the car and an additional HID lighting kit, lol, and oh the drift kit (drift wheels and tires)

Nice, if I still had my tC, I would def buy one.
I have the Black Civic from when they first came out. Have the kit, rims, tires, upgraded engine and transmission. They are fun to play with!

how much for the car?
I bought it for 39.99 on black friday (special offer), now it should go back up to 49.99. That is the price for the starter kit, comes with some decals, slotted disk brakes (possible brembo red calibers), and a manual super street booklet guide to other accessories. Dont be fooled by the look, it's really fast and with proper litium batteries and some few small mods it can go up to 40MPH easily, Pretty impressive for an electrical R/C.
how much for the lighting kit?
Can't recall the exact price but around 7 ~ 14USD. (Headlights and taillights) The headlights brightens up when you drives forward and the brake lights brighten up when you brake.
how much for the drift kit?
Maybe 6USD or around that.
and was ssm the only color?
Yse, but dont get discourage b/c Xmods are designed to be modded, unlike the Mini-Z, which has higher quality and better handling (much higher price too, around 150), the Xmods can be modfified from different real life body kits (5 Axis body kit, stock, etc), suspensions (miniature H&R springs of different rate (K)) , stage II motor with heat sink as well as different pinion gears for different driving environment (drifting, drag, etc) , some extremist also spray paint the body body (custom paint job?)

yea, and it's got the AWD drive train upgrade! Which comes with differential for the front wheels too plus the installation is fun.
By the way, the Xmods Evolution series is better than the old classic series b/c it's got a different chassis (upgrade stage 1 engine and suepension wise. Not to mention you can slide the battery pack to the front and back to adjust the center of gravity!
