THIS THING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a Xmod builder, so I changed ever part to alluminum, installed a stilleto chassis, lithium polys, an Atomic motor, I bypassed the power switch, got Atomic super grip tires, got alluminum lugnuts, a spoiler, replaced every screw with some easier to remove ones, a rear ball bearing diff, a ball bearing front diff, composite center shafts, a carbon fibre shaft, derlin gears, and ceramic bearings. So I basicly had to build a new Xmod this "Xmod" was so bad. 'nuff said. DO NOT GET IT!!!
Okay so I see it as a good deal, getting an r/c car for [$]. I bring it home and pop in some batteries because I am anxious to use. I take it out of the box finally after 5-10 minutes and pop in batteries. I run it around the house and in about 15 minutes it doesn't move because the batteries have run out. Get more batteries in and all of a sudden it I don't have any steering control and it starts flipping at full speed into a wall. It was a foot away from the wall when I lost control so it happened quick. When I try to figure out whats wrong I find wholes where two screws should be and the whole suspension and front end is a fallen apart jumbled mess I can't fix. One of the screw shafts is broken and return it. I will never again buy an r/c toy from radioshack ever again. Basically don't buy it it cheap and badly made.
Cool
I thought this thing was the greatest, then the steering would stay on one side no madder what I did,then the motor would not move at all. So i picked it up and slammed it on the ground(it was so sucky i still broke it when I spent [$] on it)
the thing that annoyed me was i backed it up and i hit a wall. not even hard and then it started to make a clicking noise.dont use the screwdriver it came with because it doesnt work. i hd to take the gears out of the gear box and i had to unscrew the the gear box cover plate. both of the screws got stripped and i finnaly got to the gear box 1 WEEK LATER! it turned out that the holding pin for the ideler gear got moved out of place so i put it back in and its as goog as new.

The car is great for driving almost any where outside,inside,cement,dirt if you put new tires on it and mabye a raising kit.

it is very very nice
I thought the car was great it runs fast without any upgrades and is is easy to control but almost all of the screws on the body were sort of striped but the will come off with some effort,the stock tires suck the r to smooth to use so i used some of my monster truck zip zap tires on the back and it worked great on carpet to the under glow drags alot if you dont ajust the battery pack the plastic bearings arent very good but they work just through on a stage 2 motor and som zip zap monster truck tires and you can drive almost anywere.

Poor quality: no user manual in the box. The place where the screw holing the rear suspension in place was broken out of the box so that when you take the body off (which you need to do to install batteries) the entire rear suspension falls apart. By holding it all together with my finger when putting the body on, I was able to drive the thing around in my house long enough to learn that the stock tires have no traction at all (so it goes very slow) and the ride hight is so low that it gets stuck on the cracks between the floorboards. I tried to raise the suspension by adjusting the screws in the front end and one of the plastic pieces in the front suspension broke, so now the car is unusable after about 5 minutes of actual use.
If this wasn't a present I had gotten my kid, it would be sitting in the trash right now. I think I'm either going to return it (for hopefully another one that isn't a piece of ****) or just buy another one and use the one I have as a parts car. I can foresee I'm going to need a lot of parts if it gets used at all.
Maybe I just got a bad car; if they are all like this one -- don't waste you money on one.
I thought the car ran great but the only problem i really had wiht it after i added the engine upgrade and suspsion upgrade it was better but almost all of the screws were striped on the body but luckly i was able to get them of but also some of the screws wouldnt go back in wihtout some effert but really over all it was a good car.One other thing about the car is that the stock tires suck you have no traction at all, but i foiund a solution to that i put some of my zip zaps monster truck tires on it it could go anywere but in the grass and gravel it rode on the carpet perfectly.
I use this product for racing and crash durbies with my friends and it always holds up well and smokes their cars in racing.
ITS GOOD FOR RACING
its a fun car for what it is,and for less than [$]its a great deal
Goes really fast and I just love it
this product is great it is so much fun to race with my friends who have them
I love my xmod. YES the plastic breaks IF you tighten the screws to much. if jumped this thing off speed pumps rolled it and did not break anyting. they are fast. the only problems i had is when I added a 7.4 volt battery pack and locked the rear end, and added a new alluminum chassis, and motor and main board with 3x3 fets, but when its hitting 40-45mph and then you can mess the boddy up and break the dog bones in the front and rear(now they are aluminum). radio shack made a great product they are fun to mod. i dont kow Why others had problems but it withstands ALOT of abuse and wont break if its stock or modded i guees there is more than meets the eye
these rc vehicles are among few with potential. after this level of modification comes gas powered hobbie cars. these cars are fast out of te box. even though thre is friction without the bearing set, a stage one mtor and a low gear ratio it is as fast as the ferrari f150 radio shack had to sell for christmas. est. speeds would be about 2o -25 mph out the box with max. speeds unknown. one thing to watch out for is its weak plastic chassis. to many bumps and kiss it goodbye. it is sturdy but thin. alot of the parts ae inter changable and upgradable down to the gearbox cover. and even he chassis. there are aluminum parts also. i recomend this to all who love cars ad take interest in having a fun fully costomizable and really great rc vehicle. a proud associate of radio shack n a precise street tunner.
i am an xmod racer this car wins all races but i like the gen 1 cars and evo trucks to bad they are dicontinuing them all must buy on EBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i use this lil car to the limit ,,this car is pretty fast , plus i upgraded it pretty good,,,things that i like about this car is that is a chevy,is fast and it look really cool

The Transformers Xmods cars come with poorly built and poorly detailed bodies, and with no upgrades left in the stores they are too expensive for what they are worth. The Xmods Evo's are amazing if you have purchased them before they produced these gimmick bodies. Your best bet is to remove the terrible body and buy the better ones on various websites.
it was great the first time I used it but when I tried replacing the knuckles with plastic brakes, a part broke. now the front right wheel has no support. thats cheap plastc garbage.
ive been collecting these xmods for over 3 years and this is the worst on the first day just because i drove it parts just cracked and the gear broke i had to fix and glue this thing 5 today however i say the service is good but the only reason i would recommend this thing is because it cheap from all xmods
I like xmods but ever since they came out with the transformers xmods they have become more childish. Please make a new generation of xmods.

brillant product super fast great drifter right out of the box fully customizable and a great racer. you will have as much fun adjusting it to maximize speed and handling and adding upgrades as you will racing it
just drove in our house. it was fast.then driveshaft broke some how. we didnt abuse it
It is very fun to drive. I like to drift with is and jump.
This is a great toy fore year round kids not just adults or teens for little kids, too.
First off, the servo(what makes the car steer) broke within 4 days of buying this Xmods Camaro. This was a wiring issue. Then when I got a new one from Radioshack, and the wishbone (a part that gives power to the wheels) decided to snap in half. So now I have to waste gas and go get a replacement part for a very fun but aggrivating toy.
i am sick of transformers my brother watches he old cartoon and the movies all day i like xmods just not the transformers ones
this may sound immature but this thing is awsome. i like to do all of the upgrades i can.i just love it. i have two of them, one to play with and the other for a collectors item. a good heads up for new buyers is to get durecell rechargeables or some other kind because alcaline just run out so fast and they get expensive.!.!.!

i been working at radio shack so i can get that ever i want for this car and if u how fast u would believe it....so is a nice car, and 4 b the side is really fast
[0 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
its a good car overall but the slick tire mod makes it hard to control. More mods like a higher stage 3 motor would be good
its the best i didnt want to put any body upgrades becauce i like the camaro so i put all the upgrades except the body kit and i put 12:23 gear ration on it for more torque and speed i would recomend this strongly to a friend
well one thing the xmod company should make more body kits but over all its great for anything if ur eally bored.
This car is one of the best Xmods I have ever used.This car is perfect to people how love SPEED.

this machine was a present for Christmas, which was also the day it broke. In my opinion it travels at a too higj rate of speed for it to manuvure.

I went through THREE different vehicles of the same type: All of them were messed-up.
1st: Axle housings broken off.
2nd: Missing car antennae pieces.
3rd: Another cracked axle housing.
4th: I will see tomorrow...
IF YOU STILL CHOOSE TO PURCHASE, I HOPE YOU HAVE A LOCAL RADIOSHACK FOR RETURNS...
Good-Luck.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! It is really fast, really smooth, and really AWESOME!!!!

The Bumblebee was purchased for a Christmas present and broke the first time it was used. [...]
IT iks great but its very sensable to lint and hair!!!!!! ps this is my first on it is great worth every penny!!!!!!!!!
[0 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
the bumblebee and barricade is low quality [...] I had to return it 3 times and just got my money back.Each car had the same problem it broke where the plastic holds the differential. It was cracked.
I recently started collecting Bumblebee items and this was one of my frist and I personally love it with all my heart, the engine upgrades and etc work great with it, but I prefer to keep the original look of Bumblebee's Camaro concept, so i only added the headlights and rear lights, new engine, suspension, and steering upgrades. No lights on the bottom or weapons on the outside so i can keep that good Camaro look on it forever!
its really nice, it works best with a aftermarket atomic motor, i just dont like the transformers theme and it needs more body kits, also i think they need to make a dodge challenger concept xmod P.S. i checked no, i wouldnt recommend this to a friend becase its beatin them in every race.
I have the all wheel drive upgrade and the wheel upgrade and I also have the stage 2 engine upgrade and let me tell you, this thing is F.A.S.T. And one time my friend challenged me to a demolitoin derby with his Hummer H2. well, lets just say that his four wheel drive went to three wheel drive. And so my conclusion is that this thing is also T.O.U.G.H.!!!
Everything is good about it,i love bumblebee.
i use this car in my basement because i have tile and it is good for drifting. its great because it is super fast..you wont know unless you get one, it hase many attachment; FYI the neon lights for the bottom of the car scrapes on ground slowing you down and even stopping you. cons: it costs alot but is worth it, it has an ok construction. My car broke an hour after i baught it( the steering broke).It might of been from playing tag with them and ramming them but what ever i still like it and i got another one... it works fine but takes skill and practice to control.
overall its so good ill race it for money lol
I've gotten a few of the new Xmods and this one is the best by far. I've lowered it and installed the race suspension kit on it with the light kits and it handles like a champ with the occassional spin out due to too much throttle.

i use it in my garage because it goes very fast but the only thing is it burns batteries alot but of course i have used it for a while and i got it wendsday and the battery lasted at top speed for about an hour and the battery is worn out by saturday so that is the only problem
i first bought one and used it outside then the whole back fell apart. then i returned it for a new one and it seems fine. the only thing is that ill have to upgrade for more speed but it is really fast stock. would buy for any child age 12-16. really fast for xmod!
Best Race Car ever it goes fast
very cool and goes fast for the price. this is a must buy for your next rc car. you can upgrade alot. get bearings asap and always use nimh because alkaline batteries wear out to quickly.
this car is awesome! Its faster than I expected, alkaline batteries work pretty good, but with regargable nimh batteries its way faster and it runs alot longer, five stars all the way!
THIS CAR IS OFF THE HOOK DUDE! ITS GONNA WHIPE OUT ALL THE OTHER XMODS!!! BUT... IT NEEDS MORE UPGRADES. SERIOUSLY! BUT OVER ALL IT IS THE BEST (OUT OF 8) XMOD I HAVE!!! GET IT NOW!!! ITS THE BEST!!!JUST GET THE BODY KIT AND SPOILER 2!! U ALSO MIGHT WANT THE DRIFT KIT. OVER ALL THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT OUT OF THE BOX!
Very nice looking and performing car. But it ( or mine) had the toe-in way to off to handle good. But with the upgrades it will be fine.

Great car. It looks good, is fast and fun to drive, however the lack of a normal body kit is slightly annoying.
One of the best I've owned so far.

you never see such a cool looking rc cars that you can tune up. I thing this rc car is a huge break for the xmod co.

I have five xmods (Evo, Mustang, F-150 orange and blue, and this camaro) and I think that this one looks the best out of all of them. I only changed the rims to the Mustangs stock ones everything else is perfect. The only thing I don't like is that there is a mark like paint that was hand painted on the right side but no big deal it was probobly just the one I picked.

MY 1ST XMOD.. I LOVE IT!! DUDE DIDNT EXPECT IT TO BE SO FAST... THERE QUICK LITTLE SUCKERS...LOL... YEA CANT WAIT TO START BUILDING IT..
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
This is a great looking car, but there are minimal body choices, and the few they have are not good. The car should have been made as just the new Camaro, with different colors including the bumblebee themed body paint/kits. It would be cool to have the Camaro in the yellow and black, but with body kits to change it up. The front bumper could use a little changing.
