#2 Measurements:
Size: They are 1:28 th scale Radio Controlled cars made by RadioShack and are on average 6" long.
Axles/Drive Shaft: Axles are also .115" in diameter or 3mm.
Long Drive shaft 2.97 X 81L
Medium Drive Shaft 2.97 X 77L
Short (if there is one) 2.97 X 73L
WheelBase: Skyline 3.7” or 94mm center to center
Xmods Bearings: Xmod Bearings are unflanged and unsealed.
Measurements are .235" Outside Diameter x .115" Inside Diameter x .079 Thick.
In mm it is 3mm ID x 6mm OD x 2mm Thick. Note 3mm x 6mm x 2.5mm will fit in some places and reduce play and improve performance.
Wheel Nuts:
Wheel nuts are 2mm. Most 2mm Lock Nuts should work. 2mm Lock nuts are used on the Mini-Z and the RS4.

#3 Remote: The Xmods remotes that come with the cars are the ONE AND ONLY remotes that will ever work with the cars unless you replace the electronics inside (Receiver/Speed Control/Servo/Controller). Xmods Controllers with the same crystal WILL control other Xmods with the same Crystals.

#4 Manuals:
1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R VSpec Starter
2003 Acura RSX Starter Kit
2000 Honda Civic Coupe (Black) Starter Kit
2000 Honda Civic Coupe (Blue) Starter Kit
1997 Toyota Supra (White) Starter Kit
1997 Toyota Supra (Red) Starter Kit
Nissan 350Z Starter
2003 Stage 1 Motor Upgrade Kit
Rubber Tire Upgrade Kit
Steering and Suspension Upgrade Kit
All Wheel Drive Kit
Crystals Set
Wheel Upgrade Kit
Command Logic Lights Kit
Metal Bearing Upgrade Kit

#5 Mini-Z parts:
Bodies: Will NOT fit with out modification to the body mounts. Not all Mini-z bodies wheel basses are the same. So you may need to stretch or shorten the chassis on a Xmod.
Battery Clips:On the Original Mini-z the clips can fit with minor sanding or filing. The MR-02 is a new design and not at all compatible.
Motors:Mini-z motors will physically fit in the Xmod but the stock electronics may not be able to handle the faster more powerful motors. Also you will need to invest in a Pinion puller from a hobby shop that sells the 1:24 scale slot cars to remove the brass pinion on the Xmods motor. Don't forget your soldering iron as well.
Tires:The rubber tires on the Mini-Z can fit but since the Xmods have a raised part in the center of the wheel that will have a raised center when installed.

Person or Company	Description & Picture
ph2t Woahnelly.com	Woah Nelly is an external turbo designed for 1/2x scale RC cars. This includes Mini-Z (All models), iWavers (All models) and XMODS. Compared to a couple of external turbos like the GPM v2 and TLP Twin turbo and they have no where near the performance of the Nelly turbo. Also, the Woah Nelly turbo will retain the brake function of your car. Something the other external turbo vendors don't do.
