MODIFICATIONS XMODS can be extensively modified using parts supplied by RadioShack and other aftermarket vendors. The starter kits advertise the ability to change the motor, wheels, tires, trim kit, springs/shocks, and bearings (From nylon bushings to steel bearings), add lighting kits, and swap the Crystal to allow the cars to operate on multiple frequncies. Tutorials for modifications are also available on various XMODS forum sites. In Europe and Japan , HPI distributes XMODS, with the cars having the same colors as those offered in the USA by RadioShack, but also some exclusive body colors and body tops not available to the US market. Even though each model has a different body, all models in a particular line share the same or similar chassis. The most notable difference in the chassis is its length relative to its body top. You can also add a motor upgrade onto them for fast speed. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS
