I was checking that out myself. it looked fun didn't it! I didnt know that had that big of races for them. check out this website they have a lot of cool stuff on mini z's and 1/18th scale cars. www.atomicmods.com 420 Tech R/C 12-28-2007, 01:40 PM I have ran both for a few years now and actually sell custom bodies at my e-bay store for xmods. as for raceability, the mini-z has it hands down. Mainly due to the radio gear. The xmods evolution chassis is an awesome handling platform, but as usual radio shack botched it by putting a 'TOY' radio set up in them. the control is not truly proportional, it is stepped in 5 incriments both on the throttle and the steering. So that makes the mini-z's way more drivable on a track because they are proportional.And because they operate on 27mhz AM futaba based gear, you can get a good transmitter for them and even make use of such features as end point adjustment and all the bells and whistle things used on the 1/10 and bigger scale cars. In fact there is even a module available for the m-8/ m-11 radios for you serious racers.i would say that The XMODS are a good starting point in micro scale racing, but when you really want to go fast and have good control of the car, step up to a mini-z.
