Hey everybody. I don't know about you, but after winning my last race I feel a thread is needed for encouraging ZipZap victory stories. I don't know about you, but I love hearing that "the little car wins again".

Here's a story to start it all out:

Yesterday I was talking to a friend at school who I was trying to convince to buy a Zip. He insisted that his 1/24th scale subaru was much better than my Zip, so I challenged him to put his money where his mouth is. I got him to agree to get a Zip or Bit and give up his 1/24th fantasy if I beat him at a race. Now think about this... A 1/24th Vs. A 1/64th.... this shouldn't be fair at all. His is just plain bigger and faster!!! So right after church today I went out and bought a 3v lithium battery and shoved it in. We met as planned and lined up for a 30 foot race. And guess what....

THE MODDED ZIP KICKED BUT!!! Not only was my acceleration tons better than his, but my top end was too!!! And I was only using a nitro motor and blue gears!!! If I had my reds in I wouldn't whooped him even worse. I seriously had enough distance between me and him to run a circle around him before he finished. IT was great :-)

And yes, he's getting ready to go get a zip of his own now :-)

PEACE, LOVE, and ZipZAPS!!!
