The import-car "tuner" craze--a cultural blend of hip-hop, Tokyo pop and Old West outlaw--is expanding its influence into the toy industry, with the arrival of the new XMODS radio-controlled cars at Radio Shack. The $49.95 racers, replicas of cars popular on the real-life scene, can be customized with authentically reproduced big-league gear, including Bomex body kits and Eibach suspension springs.
