You ask a friend who lives in the States to send you one/some.

Or you can go on Ebay and pay HIGHWAY ROBBERY prices.

Other than that, there's not much you can do. Radio Shack is the current exclusive sellers and their website doesn't ship international. :(

thanks Namuna!

"Highway Robbery" prices on ebay?
I say more power to them. I've seen posts about Bit Char-g's being about $17 over in Hong Kong, and how much do we pay here?...about $30-$40
Tables are turned. Now we (U.S.) have a product they want and it's our turn to do the "sticking":D

We are seeing then in different names here In Japn. But i need to get those name first then I will let you know.

So are Zip Zaps available in Canada?

I might be inclined to help you guys out, maybe we can work on setting a price, and then finding out the shipping for your areas. Post here.

Guys.... I'm in the United Kingdom... can ANYONE buy me a black civic Zap AND both F&F upgrade kits AND the tyre kit... it comes to 45 bucks off the shelf. We can settle a deal on payment for your trouble as long as you don't try to "ebay" me cos I ain't a milli-on-air...

SupraCruza I'm in the UK and if you think you pay over the odds for imports in the US you aught to try getting stuff here!:mad:
If you pay $30-$40 then we pay at least £30-£40 (about $48-$64) so I wouldn't feel too bad about it.;)

actually, there due for a release date of December,...yeah I know,,, it sucks. I went in last week expecting to go out with a ZZ, but instead I was told they are going to be released in December. Im guessing a market strategy on their behalf since you cant really buy and mini RCs here right now. :mad: :mad:

Absolutely! If you get a source on these things Tiny, I'll buy exclusively from you. I hate going into Radio Shack and would love to see Zips coming from someone else.

anywhere in canada?

[Timmz69]

RadioShack sells clones....I have 2 of them and a zipzap that I ordered from the states......go to radioshack.ca...and you will see them...later

[hogjowlz]

Everyone wants zip zaps because in my opinion, they're the easiest and cheapest to upgrade, they look cool, they have the best wireless range, and popularity wise they're HUGE. Shaq is doing the damn commercials.

i have to disagree on all of those points.

they are the hardest to upgrade because you have to pull apart the circuit board just to make it as fast as a cheaper car goes out of the box. also 85% of the parts are interchangeable with most bits and clones.

they do look cool if you like havin a choice of 5 bodies and spongebob.

and what ive seen they have poor to mediocre range. can anyone hide their antenna inside the car body and still get 20foot range? any zipzap ive ever played with sure cant.

popularity wise theyre huge? thats a reason to buy something? remember mili vanili? they were huge once.

i wont argue the shaq thing.

That's if your only concern is uncontrollable speed. And, a few simple mods can accomplish this. Handling is far superior. And range is better out of the box than Bits or clones.

Give it time. More will come out. And, there is the option of thousands of HO scale bodies out there that don't need to be cut in half and scrunched into a Pokemon looking cartoon shape.

and what ive seen they have poor to mediocre range. can anyone hide their antenna inside the car body and still get 20foot range? any zipzap ive ever played with sure cant.

I'm sure an antenna mod could be done that way. I've replaced my car and controller antennas and get over 100 ft. from my 49mHz cars now.

The thing that fascinates me about this never ending bashing of Zips by Bit owners is that they are so adament about it. Zip owners don't do it. But, some Bit owners just can't let it go. Do Zips trounce on the Bit owners sensabilities so much? Why is this so important. They are 20.00 toys after all. Perhaps the Bit owners doth protest to much as Shakespeare would have said. Perhaps, they like Zips more than they care to admit.
