i loved that it is fun to change parts and fun to race but the base part of the car it self where you change arms broke and now my car vears to the right now matter what i do
this is a good car that has good exceleration and a nice speed right out of the box. i like it because it drifts really easy too! great for something to do when your bored.

Xmods are an allaround nice RC. they are fast, durable to an extent, fun, easy to use. with this car i got it for my birth day over 4 months ago and its held up very nicely.
i did not like this this was my second one and they both broke. If you were smart do not buy this it breaks again and again.

The XE Scion is a cute little car and surprisingly fast for it's size. It also has a good steering radius that is a vast improvement over the first genereation XMODS. Unfortunately however, the tie-rod's shaft screws are too long thus making them too close to the ground, the wheels wobble, the servo tends to jitter and the car's controls are not truely proportional.On the bright side the semi-proportional control is still easy to use and the flaws are easy to correct with a little imagination.

it a good car and all but mine broke the first week although i think it was me not the car i think i was running it to hard
i got this and i works perfect its speedy fun and cool the only thing is is it low and scrapes up on the bottom outside

This car is great for the hobby tuner fan. this car drifts right out of the box. like many say this car is wobbly and im telling the truth, yes its wobbly but the car doesnt have a problem driving in a straight line. also one problem i have is that when i drive in circles the rear right tire rolls out. otherwise this car is great for anyone
Great Value, it is fast right out of the box, but of course being me I had to make it go fater, and hit a chair at about 15 mph, and my Scion didnt have a scratch on it.
this thing is amazing if you want it buy it. Ive read a couple of reviews that say its too wobbly but its not. out of the box its amazing but add the stage 2 motor and your kicking butt. just dont be stupid like me and drive it on a table
its a very good product. the day i got it i immediately hooked up the antenna put in batteries and started driving without even looking at the body
very fun to play and upgrade.
this is really worth getting, i use mine so much! i cant wait to modify
THIS IS ONE BEAUTIFUL CAR... I LUV IT! TO ME IT DRIVES SO BEAUTIFULY! LUCKLY FOR ME, NOW I HAVE TWO X-MODS... INFINITI G35 AND NOW THE TOYOTA (SCION) tC. MY FAVORITE ONE IS THE tC!!!
this is the best. the car is fast right out of the box.
its ok not reallly what i wanted but i dont no if its just mine or what but it doesnt preform very well..............
I think this car is awesome. It drives so well and the best thing is that it is uprgradable! You can replace your motor kits, drifting, and acceloration kits. It goes really fast. The control is a little hard but once you get used to it, it is really simple! I put a light kit on mine. You can learn a little about mechanics to by building and upgrading it. It has a long distance. Worth the price! You should get one!
this car is pretty cool! i have one and i got it going really fast! Mine has a Chili motor, 2x4 stacked FETS, Full GPM, Lithium-ion, aluminum rims, V2.2 board, this car i got going 55mph on the tamiya dyno. i have spent hundreds in this car! i recommend always buying GPM knucles, the stock break easy!
the scion is cool. the stock motor is pretty fast. if yu want to drift i suggest the bearing kit and all wheel drive. but you dont need the drift kit. just go to the hardware store and get some pvc pipe or pvc couplings that are close to the size of the rims. cut them to the width of the tires and sand the inside down to make the rims fit snug. it works great. the only thing wrong is the pvc has to be really thin or the body wont fit over it.

The Scion tC has to be the fastest Xmod EVO made. Especially after you've added the stage 2 motor! It does though suffer some of the same EVO drawbacks as all the other car models. Worst is the wheel slop. The wheel bearing kit reduces that by more than 50%. The stripped & cracked lugnuts forced me to modify them just to keep them tight. Just be careful putting them on! Finally adding stiffer springs from the steering & suspension upgrade kit helps to keep all the cars from scraping so badly unless you have the smoothest surface to run on. Otherwise, because of its small size compared to other Xmods, it really handles and I think is my favorite out of the 4 I have. If you can ever find it, another great car is the discontinued Mitusubishi EVO Lancer VIII.

This car is so cool! It is really fast even with the stock motor. But I would recommend getting the bearing upgrade and the body kit.
this car is so awsome. its so fast right out of the box. also it comes with incredible cornering and drifts with ease. the only real problem is that it uses up alot of battery power. so i would get the rechargeable batteries so you don't run up your battery bill. another thing is that it's so durable (beleive me w/ such tight cornering there are going to be some bumps and bruises) overall this car is a great stater car and one heck of an xmod.
I got this and raced my friend a few times but after that it went downhill. I got most of the upgrades and installed them but then the tires would not move at all so i took it apart and i could not find anything wrong with it so i used my old engine and still nothing happend so i dont know how to fix it and i cannot return it it is to late maybe i just got lucky!
This ride is great!! good handling,acceleration, and top speed. the only downer is it uses alot of energy. The next thing Im getting is the nimh rechargeable batteries upgrade, that will take care of the energy problem I reccomend those!!
this as a first car is pretty good, it wobbles alot but its pretty fast although i can't get my wheels it ever stay on
it looks sweet but like alot of ppl say wheels wiggle buy once you drive it it's fine mine scrapes the ground but i fixed it with a filer i would sugest awd upgrade IT HELPS ALOT(almost mandatory)!!! along with the metal barings that helps alot also thats what i think

the scion is a pretty nice car but my first one broke and i returned it, with no trouble, and my new one also broke but some glue fixed it. this car is definitely worth the money!!!
this is an awsome car i bought it and im in the proses of buying the awd neon under glow tool kit stage 2 i have the suspention and steering bal bearing and the drift kit if u buy the steering kit use the stock steering arm but other than that thats the only flaw ive found
I just bought this car, and love it already. It's fast, sleek, and best of all, it was on clearance! I highly recommend this car as a first. The downside to it is, the wheels wobble like crazy and I can't move in a straight line.

this is the best car ever i just got it and after i drived it for two minutes i checked online for a better motor
this my fastest car ever! i upgrade with anything in it, and tested, it can goes up to 29.5 MPH! with motor stage 2, ofc. i have 7 of them, but this one is the fastest car!
My scion rocks on the track. Running stage 2 motor with a 11-23 gear ratio, suspension upgrades, have the stearing upgrade but went back to stock.(not much better). on the track i run 2 hard treads in the front and 2 soft treads in the rear and im able to hope a track and get through every turn with no flips or slides. (benefical on track) I use 15 minute chargers and energizer batteries and i can run 3-5 races on one charge. each race is about 3 minutes or so and there not back to back.
Great car. U need the stage 2 motor and 4wd and ur good to go. You may also want to buy the bearing kit because the wheels wobble badly.
this car is the best i got the stage 2 motor, wild body kit, rubber tires, custom rims, steering upgrade, suspension upgrade, under car neon, front-back lights, everything is custom on my car and i highly recommend everybody gets the xmod charger it last a long time without losing top speed in 5 minutes with alkaline and if you get the neon lights raise your car with the suspension kit because it gets stuck on everything with out it if you want the greatest xmod ever it costed me a total of $140
really fast needs stage 2 mouter mine has ground effect ligts not great for bompy areas
My scion tc is fast i just got all wheel drive an ddrifts great with the drifting kit
this car is the best of the line.but it needs stage 2 motor.mine has all wheel drive upgrade,command logic lights,race suspen,vinvils
It is fast but the wheel wobble is brutal.
This car is awesome, i just got it yesterday. it is very fast with stock motor, i will soon get a body kit, all wheel drive and stage 2 motor. i put drift tires on it and they work good but need some more grip because it loses control in drifts.this is a great car for anyone.

The Scion looks totally cool in its stock configuration. Smallest car in the XMODS line. But, DO NOT buy the body kit unless you plan to use the entire mild or wild kit. You can't mix parts. Nor can you just add a front or rear bumper to the stock body like you could with all the other EVO car kits. That is the one the thing I'm really disappointed about!
Great Car i suggest getting upgrades it makes it 10x Cooler get it for someone 12 and up and GET THE STAGE 2 MOTOR UPGRADE AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE! Great Buy
the scion is overall good but needs a stage 2 motor and needs a body kit otherwise is bad in apperance think alittle before you buy this car!!
this car is the best it rocks super fast but needs stage 2 and this is the best i love it
I love it. it's my first one. it's really fast. it's turns are precise. it's a great buy.
It goes fast but some times it doesn;t want to go backwords
I love the look and the speed of this car, the only thing that was a downfall that after a couple hours of play the car's steering servo went out and this is now my second car. Hope this one dose not do the same thing.
i think overall that this is a great product to buy i love ny xmod and i got the scion tc and it runs great it took me only 10 minutes to hook it up and get it ready
This car is off the hook man!!! woooo this thing corners like radicalness, just get the suspention kit and drifting kit and u'll be rockin' a the pros do!!
this thing is awsome. I got mine abut a week ago and I love it. I had the former modle of the x-mod and i got to say this one surpasses it greatly. The only problem that i found is that when goind full speed the steering is not as affective but, with a new set of tires that was fixed easly. Awsome product, great for a christmas peresent for any one ages 12 or up.
this car is awsome it has a very nice body and is so easily tuned. the parts look even cooler and with some costom work it is the best.
THIS CAR IS THE BEST! THE STOCK MOTOR FLIES AND THE BODY KIT AND LIGHT LOOK GREAT ON IT! CAN DRIFT WELL AND IS EASY TO INSTALL BODY KIT! TOTALY WORTH THE MONEY!
drives to the left even after adjusting it. looks alright but the wide bodykit looks pretty funny and is a waste of money. internal parts look used on the new released cars. fun for tuner fans though.
awsome i bought it today it runs great the turning on this car is amazing im going to buy the body kit next week
