Talking The ZIPFAQ is here!!!

Well, after much copying and pasting I have completed the first of many revisions to come of the official ZIPFAQ. I borrowed alot of comments and text right from the forum (I gave credit where credit is due though!) but much of it is my own stuff too.

Anyways, check it out, let me know what you think, give me suggestions, criticisms, tell me what you want to see, etc etc etc. It is a comunity suported effort, so I will try to tailor it to the community. It will be changing greatly over the next week or so, so if you dont like how it looks, just settle down.

Sorry, its 4:35AM right now and I'm a little burned out, sorry if this doesnt make any sense.

Check it out: ZIPFAQ

Alright, I updated the FAQ a little bit. Let me know what you guys think should be in there for mods or info or whatever. I'm open to whatever the community thinks is best.

Lets hear your suggestions!!

Just FYI. I bought a pair of tuire upgrades for MicroSizers.


The 3 tire designs for microsizers are:

Hard Ribbed: Racing grip for maximum speed

Medium Slick: All-round performance Balance

Soft Block Tread: For courses with tight corners


(Note: The descriptions are paraphrased, I don't remember the exact words on the package)


Your faq says:

Tires:
ZipZaps have tires in 3 tread designs (All-Season, Sport and Factory). Bits/MS have just 1 tread design (slicks) but in different compounds (soft, medium, hard)

It may be the bits have all slicks and the MS's have the 3 different styles of tires. I'm not sure, I haven't seen upgrade tire kits for Bits yet.


Motors: For the microsizers, the fastest official motor is a MicroSnap 2.6 I believe. If you're counting aftermarket non-official motors, don't leave out the 3.8!

Steering problems:
Don't rule out Cat Fur, dust, human hair, lint, and debris jammed in the front axles.
