Canadian Zip Zap Owners Club
 

I may be the only one on this forum in Canada who owns a Zip Zap [2 1st-gens+1 2nd gen in mail] but, please, prove me wrong.

I guess nobody.

i'm sure you're not the only one :P

Maybe.

I own a zip zap and I'm in Canada

i own a zip zap and i have been to Canada:D

(nice place;) )

i wish i had a zz, so that sorta counts. lol

Good news!
I was on the radio shack site and saw all the zipzaps stuff and it said comming soon!

Yeah, yeah.

I talked to a guy in the store though and he said that he didnt think that they were comming at all

im from canada and i have 4 zipzaps

You don't have it that bad. My store thinks that Zip Zaps have been out since Christmas.

well when the first ZZ's are in canada i'll have to get one just to say i have one..... but of course i'd rather have the SE's *drool.... the body is ugly and doesn't seem to be molded very well but it could be fun to streach a bit onto that fully propo chassis.

I'm canadian... But i want a zipzap, so it kinda counts :rolleyes:
wish radioshack.ca would get them:mad:

Soon enough...

yeah I showed the guy that page and he thinks that its not going to go through and they are not going to come

If they aren't here by Jan., buy them at Detroit if you got to the auto show.

LOL, they guy at the store doesn't know.
I went ot the store to ask when they where comming in.
he asked what zipzaps where, I told him that they where the little cars similar to, and he interupted me and said they where over there and pointed to those mini turbo cars.

my guy at least knew what they were and that they were listed as comming soon on the site but he thinks something happened and the deal didnt go through
so they would not be comming
mabie when I go to florda I may just pick up a SE if they dont work out to too much

OMG! just as the ZipZaps comes out in Canada, Radio Shack decides to release the ZipZaps SE!
I really don't wanna keep waiting for the good stuff to take months to arrive to Canada, I wish they would release ZipZaps in all of their stores at the same time.....

the reason for this is that canadian radio shacks are a different company then the us
they cannot order parts from the us because of this
radioshack amereica decied since they came out with the new zips in the states they might as well try and make a lil $ and sell the remaining ones to canada

typical corporations....sell as much as they can and give the leftovers to Canada

HEY
I went to radio shack yesterday
and they said they are getting the zip zap stuff in today so I went tonight and bought the f&F supra the copper one.
they hadn't even opened the boxes yet he had to search and fine out which one her were in
its my first zip and I have to say they are amazing I love them the turn batter then bits they are faster and look better I even like the controler minus the shorter range compaired to by clone that I get tons of range with

over all I love these cars and are going to start getting these instead .

See why I like them? I'm getting my 4th on the weekend.

No kidding we have them in Canada now...Sweet...I paid like 45 bucks through EBAY ...Im gonna have to go buy a couple...Thanks for the info guys....

I just got my jeep on tues...OH CANADA!!

you bought the jeep in canada or the US

yeah they are $29.99 and they have all the hop ups and body kits too I think I will buy some more stuff.

YEAH these are great
I also noticed I dont know If any of you have the 4x4s from walmart but there bodies fit with a lil widening of the front tab hole on the bodie I tried putting the silver suv on and with the rims that came with my f&F Supra ity looks sick

Ya don't want your supra? I'll trade.

?
yes I do want my supra why dont you just get that as your new one on the weekend

what do you have by the way I 'm looking for the 3.4 motor
does that come in this set

http://www.radioshack.ca/estore/Prod...log=RadioShack

Becasue I think If it does I may just get that
thanks for replying so fast too

The 3.4 comes in this set: http://www.radioshack.ca/estore/Prod...log=RadioShack They don't have the new F N' F kit which I have.


P.S. I have that Supra but I want a spare. And I reccomend that set you want + the 3.4 for one nice car.


EDIT: That kit has the Nos 2.4 NOT the 3.4! They don't have the new upgrade kit.

I looked at that first but the 3.4 isnt in that one that comes with the stock motor or he one fater then it and the red turbo motor whick my car came with because its the f&F version

So I have to go to the states to get it???
yeah that set looks good what motors does it come with then?

I am going to go in the store next week when I'm off work and check it out

Hey your in T.O right you want to sell /trade me anything

o and I tried the suv and it turns so tight with the body proped up on the posts
I didnt like it with it in the front slot because it looked to slanted

I had to order my jeep through the radio shack international 1-800 line, total in can funds was about $32 after the border tax and everything.

Use your clone motors.

I tried and I also tried my perfection 3.8 but it seemed to perform better with the normal 2.1 I think it may because of the pinion gears beeing different because it didnt drive as smooth as it did stock

W. the red gears it works like a normal 4.2. errr 3.8 [I have the 4.2 in mine.]

Do you have to change the pinion gear because I think thats what I may just do

Also on a side note I'm not sure if your zellers is doing this but the one I work at is selling mini rc cars now (i think there bensu s or something)
for $9.99 I 'm going to buy a whole bunch tomorro when I'm in again on my break
other guys said they will buy some too to race with upstairs
thewy even have humvees they are cool and for that price its the cheapest I've seen them sofar

I think you should consider a trip to Pacific Mall. They might have the Super Bits.

Me?

I heard the super bits suck
I was intrested in going there becasue they said they have all kinds of bit stuff
but isnt it a all asian mall I would be lost and unless they all speak english I would never find anything
I also live almost a hour from toronto and dont go there too often

what else do they have
(mabie you could send me some stuff)?

wow I paid $34 Canadian in store for mine here I wonder how much it would be for a SE I head the mustang is much better then the others

They all speak and write in English and Chinese don't have bias. The Super Bits are a tad better than regular Bits. You can also get the Pull Backs.


P.S. I do have an extra Counatach....
