C4 Racing 2 6.1MB
This was shot at North Columbus High in Columbus Indianna where they use XMODS and Mini-Z cars to teach technology. This is what a school program should be, educational, engaging and fun! Wish high school was this cool when I was a student. We have joined them more than once for thier annual race, and you can learn more about it here: Team AtomicMods 2006 Race For Education

Seductive the dark side is, carefully considered you path shall be, for return from the dark side you shall not.

The following 5 videos in this section were shot at the AtomicMods Race for Education in Indiana at the Columbus North High School in January of 2006. This was a race we sponsored and we were there all weekend, doing educational workshops, tuning tips and just hanging out with the racers. They use XMODS in the classroom to teach science, electronics, mechanics, and physics so they were very knowledgeable and very into the XMODS racing scene.

The class built a very cool drag strip complete with an optical timing system. School was nowhere near this fun when I was a kid.

XMOD Racing The Challenge Small 4.53MB
XMOD Racing The Challenge Large 12.9MB
We decided to allow one of the racers to drive Rob's Nevada in the Modified classes. We didn't want to just pick someone because that seemed unfair, so we had a qualifying race among the top drivers and this is it.

This was the first modified race with the Nevada in full effect, the driving was amazing and there were some nice spills.

XMOD Racing Final Large 14.9MB
The last and final modified race. This one was for a Fission AtomicBuilt and a lot of other prizes. There were some great drivers and good cars, but guess which one took the honors...

XMOD Torture Test Small 12.7MB
XMOD Torture Test Large 36.6MB
After the finals, we thought the motor should be about toast, so we decided to run it and see how much longer it would take to fry it. This weekend was the first time we had used Comm Drops and we were taken by surprise to see how long it lasted, and even when the motor melted down, the brushes were intact. Without the Comm Drops this motor would normally burn up in half the time.

Billet AWD Front Axles Small Small 3.53MB
Billet AWD Front Axles Large Large 11.5MB
We were stunned and amazed when we saw how smooth the new Billet AWD shafts are, so we shot this video to show you. Brad's Ritalin prescription ran out and he got excited and was "Erking" all over the place, so please excuse him. This video also serves as a good benchmark to see how smooth your own car is, or not.

If you were wondering just how fast the stock EVO is, this is the video for you.

Nagasaki Outdoor Speed Demo Small 3.38MB
Nagasaki Outdoor Speed Demo Large 7.41MB
I get asked this question all the time, "How fast can an XMOD go?" Well ask no more, here is a video that shows just how amazingly fast an XMOD can go. The car used was a Nagasaki Class AtomicBuilt with an 11 tooth pinion. The only modification to the Nagasaki build was the addition of the Aluminum Joint Cup Shafts. I tagged the bloopers on the end so you can see how hard these cars are to handle at high speeds. The best speed shot is the side shot, its so fast it appears surreal, but I assure you its the real deal.

Wheelie Time 1.5MB
Yes, this is an actual video of an XMOD doing a wheelie. No doctoring, this is the real deal. This car belongs to an AtomicMods.com customer named Dwayne Mendoza. You can learn more about his car on the Testimonials Page.

Lithium Demo Indoor Large 7.72MB
This is an attempt to show the speed of the lithium cells. The video does not do them justice. I need to shoot some outdoor video so I can really show the speed.

Team AtomicMods Race Night 1-20-04 4.1MB
This is a fun little video I put together from some of our race night footage. This is back when the cars were slow enough to race in my living room.


Mini-Z Videos


AtomicBuilt Element vs Stock Mini-Z Large 14.6MB
AtomicBuilt Element vs Stock Mini-Z Small 6.8MB
The AtomicBuilt Element has only a hand full of upgrades, but with Lithium power among these it becomes a force to be reckoned with. The Element is able to smoke mere Ni-MH cars with ease, and drive forever when others are in the pits changing batteries. Lithium's higher voltage provides more power and punch, literally doubling the top speed of the Element and increasing accelleration. The lighter weight of the Lithium batteries reduces the overal mass of the car dramatically therfore improving handling responsiveness. Question is, can you handle this much power?

Just how fast is a Manhattan? This short video shows it on the dyno.

Manhattan Driven by Christian Large 12.2MB
We are lucky enough to have one of the best drivers in the world racing at our local track, and when we asked him to put our newest AtomicBuilt through its paces, he was more than happy to help. The Manhattan is incredibly fast and quite nimble, and it was a thing to behold with Christian at the wheel.

Drifting with Lights Small 2.47MB
Drifting with Lights Large 7.62MB
I set up an AWD with the Atomic Drifting Tire Set 8.5mm, Atomic Drifting Tire Set 10.5mm, Atomic Mini-Z AWD Chrome Split Star Wide Wheel +3 Offset, Atomic Mini-Z AWD Chrome Split Star Narrow Wheel +3.5 Offset, Atomic Mini-Z AWD Aluminum Motor Heat Sink, AtomicMods AAA HC Ni-MH 900mAh Battery and the Motul Skyline body. The car drifts well, but I am am going to experiment with some other upgrades to make it more controllable. This video also showcases the Enjoy RC Mini-Z Rim Lights.

Mini-Z AWD Commercial 14.1MB
This Kyosho video shows the new Mini-Z AWD in all its glory. At the end there are some MR02s and some very nice drifting as well.

Mini-Z Commercial 3.6MB
While Supplies Last! Each Mini-Z now comes with a petite Asian girl who sits on the couch pretending to be impressed while you drive around the living room. She weighs 98 pounds so we recommend UPS Ground to save on shipping. Ground shipping takes a few days, but don't worry, we'll toss a bag of Cheetos and a Pepsi in the box with her to ensure she makes the trip.

Mini-Z Formula Boat Commercial 2.48MB
A very nice video commercial from Kyosho showing the new Formula Boats in action.

D-Box Large 31MB
Ready to get your drift on? This video shows the amazing D-Box Stability Assist System in action. It's a big video that covers a lot of ground, such as installation, setup alnd also lots of drift footage and even comparisons between cars with and without the D-Box. Now I am asking myself, how did we ever drift without this little magic box?

Kyosho Mini Inferno 33MB
An official Kyosho video showing the awsome Mini Inferno strutting its stuff. Its amazing how well this car soaks up the rough stuff and keeps its footing.

An official Team Losi video from that same deaf camera man showing the very capable Mini-LST zipping around a dirt track.

Team Losi Mini-T Product Video 1.5MB
An official Team Losi video showing the Mini-T buring up a dirt track. The Mini-T is a blast to drive and as as you can tell from this video, it is totally silent. Great for sneaking up on your cat.

Team Losi shot this and used a deaf cameraman, so there isn't any sound, but its still a great vid showing how quick and nible the Micro-T is.

Not convinced ceramics are worth the investment? Take a look at this amazing video.

Acura RSX on Tadiran Outdoor Small 2.36MB
Acura RSX on Tadiran Outdoor Large 6.6MB
This was one of our early experiments with XMODS. The rechargeable Tadiran "In-Charge" cells are light and provide good power, but they are no longer in production. Still a fun video especially with Stetson chasing the car, but this is when he hurt his paws.

Stetson's Injury 2.5MB
This is some old footage that I ran across when I was tinkering with some new video editing software. There is a moral to this pathetic story. Just in case you were worried, Stetson recovered fully and still want to chase cars, but we don't let him. This happened during the video above.

Can you figure out the mystery? There are a few abnormalities here.

We were load testing a Stacked FET EP and things got a little out of hand. Ok, so we are goofy, what can we say.

Rotary Rocket Small 16.1MB
Rotary Rocket Large 42.3MB
Here is something interesting that was just sitting on the company server waiting to be leeched. This footage chronicles the Art For Food project that Rob's Rotary club did in 2004. You may not recognize Rob as he had hair then. Rob designed the rocket and oversaw construction and the edited the video. His sense of humor really comes through on this one. He will probably delete this when he realizes its posted, so watch it while you can.
