Somehow those mini-rc cars seem to multiply … You all know my Kyosho MR02 and the Mini-Bull, now there are some X-Mods here as well. During the Christmas period one of the german online sellers had a special offer where you could buy 3 for €90,– which by itself is a good offer. One (a ’65 Mustang) was given as a gift to my brother-in-law while the other two remained with me. I am talking about a Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec and a ’06 Mustang.

The Mustang is still in box, but that won’t be forever. Unfortunately for you that is the reason why there are no pictures yet. instead you can have a quick glimpse at the chassis, which has been upgraded a bit with alloy parts in the area of the rear end.

What stroke me a bit is the bad finish of the product … OK … thy are painted but that paint job is far from perfect. The rear bumper of the Skyline had a fingerprint on the inside (yes, now I can identify the culprit …) and the there was a huge grain of something enclosed in the painted windscreen.
Then there is a red Hummer H2 which I bought yesterday … again it has some imperfections in the paint job, but I thought all the excess plastic scrape-off in the gearbox was a bigger issue. It showed up when I installed an AWD Upgrade to the trucking chassis.

These “imperfections” I think where the reason that the price dropped by half in just a few weeks. Overall they are no reason not to buy them little machines and also nothing what a little bit of paint stripping, sanding and painting can not fix.
