MT info and availability.

[Wldfire]

Howdy all! I saw the commercial for the ZZ MT the other day on TV, and instantly fell in love, being as i have a few big Monster trucks and such.

I am wondering what the overall opinion of them is, and how kewl are they really??

I also am looking for a place either in Canada, or a place that will ship them to Canada. I tried the Radioshack US website, but they wont ship out of the US, and RS Canada doesnt carry them.

Thanx for any replies!

IMHO, the MTs are the best thing since sliced bread LOL! These things are a real blast -:)

Even if one wasn't "into" the regular ZipZaps cars, an ZipZaps MT is a must-have IMO, tons of fun. They'll drive over almost anything, and are a lot of fun driving in small gravel outdoors as well -:)

w000t now that my cousin is travelling to the U.S. and they've released the new "American Trucks" bodykit (which is so friggin' beautiful - certainly beats the spydey Hummer) I'm most definitely gonna ask him to buy some and send them for me. Just wanted to ask a little question though: are the tire/wheel and performance boost sets a must-have? I'm still not sure if they're worth the pricetag for me.

Oh, another thing: can I use the controller that comes with the ZZSEs with the Monster Trucks?

The motors are worth it

@PB, the motors and gears upgrade is definately a must-have... the MTs are MUCH faster with the upgrade -:)

As far as the tire kit, it's simply personal preference. The stock MT tires have a much more aggressive looking tread (a self-cleaning mud type of tread), whereas the tires in the tire kit aren't as aggressive (RS! A swamp tread should be *more* aggressive than a factory tread IMHO! This coming from a natual "swamp man" LOL!).

The three sets of wheel/rims look pretty nice, but again, it's simply personal preference.

BTW, check the "ZipZaps Monster Truck Tires" pic on my Zaps Stuff web site (link is in my sig below), for closeup views of all of the treads compared to the stock factory treads (Left to right / top to bottom: Factory, All-Season, Swamp ("swamp" my arse, RS! LOL!), and Slicks (not really true slicks)).
