My collection! (pics)
 

Finally got my collection together. About 6 Zips are missing from this picture due to being in pieces. 3 pics going up.

Second pic

This is my future Lamborgini Diablo. I picked up about 12 Lexan bodies while I was on vacation. I just need to trim and paint them. Camaro's (Iroc, Z28), BMW, T-bird's, Ferrari's, Chevy Pick-up, Toyota Turbo, etc...

Nice. I think you're too addicted to these :D

very nice, whats the name of the cars in the bubbles in the top left??

WELCOME BACK

glad to see you back on the boards and hope you had fun on vacation
i took your advice and did the pcb swap on my zip and you were right
it is deffinatly more important than a dual batt for a first mod the boards
havent been the same without you, now if azimov would show back up
dont get me wrong there are still alot of good moders on the boards
but few as inovativ as you

They are both believed to be Bensu clones. Two of them are Cannonballs and the other is a MotorWorks. MotorWorks appear to be the advanced version of the two and are sold at WalMart. The Cannonballs I picked up at Checker Auto Parts but have also seen them at Walgreens.

Thanks SipSap. My vacation has backed up my work a little, so as soon as I catch up, I'll be back to mod'ing and have a lot of pics for everyone. I figured out how to do the rear individual suspension, so my Diablo should be pretty sweet. These Lexan bodies weight absolutely nothing. It's like racing without a body on.

It's gone way past addiction. I'm obsessed! :)

Thanks, I'm trying to decide between buying a clone locally or a bit char-g off ebay.

yo stridex did you getme the 300zx or 240 sx sylvia...if they didnt have it tell me caus eI am still interested in a lexan body...

They didn't have them. In fact the selection was pretty bad. I only picked up 12 and I planned on buying over 30. I'll get some pics up of the ones I'll be willing to sell. $6 - shipping included.

Ok..there better be a nicce body out of all those 12 :)

i found the cannonballs at toys r us. they are a very nice clone. i like the idea of the magnets on the sides incept the middle.

Stridex: where did you get the hummer body?

It's the H2 from the Sharper Image catalog. You get two micros for $40. The other car is the Chevy SSR. They're basically a stretched Bensu clone. Both are just a little faster then the zips out of the box. It's just the motors though. When I added a NOS to one, the thing FLEW! You also have room to throw in 2 addition batts and still close the PCB cover from the looks of them. They're just a tad longer then the Zips. Looks like a great car for mod lovers like myself. Just haven't had the time.

I'm almost done with my latest mod'd Zip. Once it's done, I'm going to start tinkering with those. I think my next pics will impress a few of you. I've put in way too many hours on it to make it just right. The steering is TRULY unique and works like a charm. It's precise and works on a slide rail.

My new addition
