    I think your 350 Z's better, but only because it actually runs . The Lambo isn't an X-Mod, i think it was like a knock off brand so the car was cheap... and slow, so everything I did was ghetto. But thanks for the quick little inspiration, great way to spend a few hours.

    @Kinghorn - That's cool dude, post some more pictures of it if you have any. I feel being the inspiration for your "build" even though I'm not the first to ever do this.

    Ive seen body dropped Xmods and their pretty cool. But, I just don't think the illusion is better than the actually thing. Sure by dropping the body you can go lower because your not sacrificing the suspension which would lead to the frame laying and in return would make it incapable of "driving". But damn laying plastic frame looks so good.

    no they dont sell xmods anymore. check out Kyosho mini-z they have much nicer bodies but they're a bit more expensive as the rc's are hobby grade.

    I used to dabble in XMods, myself.
    I know exactly what you mean lol. Anytime, I added a spacer to the hub I had no room to attach the lug nut. I literally have a turn and a half holding them on. Basically, I used Cup Washers the shape of the washer allows enough room to start the threads due to the dimple in the middle of it. I placed the dimple inward (facing away from the wheel). Then progressively made the dimple larger with a BB from a gun ball and flat head hammer to allow it enough room. In a larger scale its like covering your rear brake set up with a dush sheild, but instead of behind the assembly it is infront of it.

    hope that helps
