Do any of you now if these are discontinued. 2 radio shacks ive been to say they are dicontinued and expect for some new stuff in March. Another place says they are going to get them and whenever I call they say try back again tomorrow. If they are discontinued what is the fastest motor I can get for my car. It is a zipzap but can I put other brand motors in it. Sorry if this stuff has been talked about before I checked search but didnt come up with any of this but I could have put in a bad subject line.

They aren't discontinued. They are severely understocked.

Without that kit, the fastest motor is the so-called "Turbo" motor, available in the Performance Booster upgrade kit, which is 21,500 RPMs. It's still pretty damn slow, IMHO.

The NOSŪ Nitrous motor runs at 23,500 RPMs.

Thanks for the reply Ill just keep on calling them I guess then.

I have one of those!! It doesnt really make a big difference but for 7 bucks its worth it

I think the turbo makes a difference if you compare it to the stock motor.

airline2 01-22-2003 07:37 PM

I like the turbo motor just a little bit more than the nos motor because it gives the power at all the time

strider_mt2k 01-24-2003 08:13 PM

Of all the motors I have ended up with so far, the ZZ NOS motor is the fastest and about the quietest.

The F&F kit is WELL worth the money if you look at all the parts you get.

Someone at Rad shack goofed if you ask me!

scuba steve 01-27-2003 09:47 PM

hey what do you think is better? a panther motor or a zz nos?

Go0ty 01-27-2003 09:51 PM

red motor has alot more torque, making it better than NOS (NOS is incredibly slow acceleration and it's only good for straights).

If you're looking to spend 7 bucks to get a new motor, get the DKS one, 2.6

airline2 01-28-2003 07:30 AM

thwe new zipzaps go faster tan the orginals because i bought a gold honda civic it run just a s fast as the turbo at least and it is stock very thing

Bad Company 01-28-2003 06:32 PM

You can put just about any size Microzizer and bit motor in your Zip-Zap...I would recomend the 3.8.....You can also swap the wheels and gears

I just did a PCB switch from a micriosizer to a Zip-Zap and duel batteried it. Now its just as fast as my fastest microsizer (single battery) with an R-spec motor in it and more importantly it runs straighter...

Too cool....
