I just got a Zip Zap
 
I finally got a zip zap. I walked into the store yesterday and I could choose between 5 different cars. I got very lucky. But there are a few things I noticed. I don't get very good range and the joy stick things on the controller are not very comfortable.

bah I called the local stores they all said they dont have any cars in, weird today everyone posted threads bout getting parts and zipzaps but I can find anyone....

Well, there is sort of a way around being on "the list"..


Goto a radio shack, sound really desperate, and you may be able to have them call another store with zips in stock , and have them let you buy one or two.

I'm not saying it will work, but it has.

ChouDawg 12-24-2002 08:34 PM

ya that might work but every store within an hour driver of me is out, and they all have like 3 page waiting list...lol

The one that you should have got is the Blue Honda civic beacause I just got that one yesturday and it has a long range because it is a49 MHz and the other one is the 27MHz which bad range in the house

Dang it, i bought mine as soon as i herd about them, i went to RS the next day and they just got a shipment that day, and i was the first to get one, i been trying to get the F&F kit that was inpossable to find, and i just got the motor kit and tire kit for Christmas, and i wanna get another car, but i stoped at one of my semi local RS and they were out of them...

i cant wait till i get to so i race my friends and kick some arse.

Welcome to the club! The range is easily fixed by swapping the antena on the control with a longer antena! You can get one from and old radio or buy one at radio shack! The control knobs are also modifiable, possibilities are endless!
