I put a duel cell using the same battery that is in the car out of another kidd riffic car and its much better then using other batteries
also you know how there are the construction cars by kiddriffic they use the same controler and it is 3 channel to use the forklift bucket etc.
has anyone found how to make the 4x4s use this extra channel for turning on lights boosts

Hmmmmm..... I've never seen the construction vehicles.

Which would you guys recommend? The wild-charg or the kidriffic? I know the cost of the wild-charg is more but do you get what you pay for or is it not a good buy?

From what I've read, it looks like the Kidriffic is the more powerful truck. The steering has got to be stronger on the Kidriffic, as it doesn't using those nasty steering coils, which is a big deal to me. The downside is that the Kidriffic has kind of a cheapo look and feel to it.

I don’t have a Wild Char-G myself. I definitely think that the Wild Char-Gs look 100 times better. It’s next on my hot list to buy.

The biggest deciding factor is whether you like tank style steering or normal car style steering. I love my quad cell Kidriffic, but just can’t get used to the tank style steering.

Ok thanks. Im kinda leaning towards the kidriffic if i ever decide to get one.:rolleyes:

Lord_Nick_D 06-27-2003 07:23 PM

kiddrific is better I think
they have much larger motors
and the pcp is simpler (simple things dont break as easy) they also come with duel cels stock and can be upgraded easier to 3 cells
they also are the same size as zips so any 1/64 scale body fits

stampede720 06-27-2003 07:33 PM

Are the bodies screw on or tabs like zips? Exactly what kind of bodies do fit?

Buzzbait 06-27-2003 09:43 PM

the Kidriffic bodies are held onto the chassis through a combination of 2 screws and a front tab. My blue Kidriffic pickup truck body is too small to fit on a Zip Zap. My kidriffic SUV body is a perfect fit once a rear slot is carved in the body. Here's a pic of the SUV body on a Zip Zap.

Some one put a sponge bob body on a 4x4
I use dicast hot wheels and this body i got off a clone that is the same size as a zip

stampede720 06-28-2003 12:07 AM

Ok. Thanks. I dont have any zip but i got plenty of old hot wheels:D .

I am sure u guys want to hear aboutall my 4x4 storys ok well 'll just tell you.

First of all i made a trac in my yard with a peanut butter hole(mud pit) and very steep. We also went rock crawling with rocks and gravels. I also constructed some lead weights for the cars flipping over problems. And yes it was real mud in the peanut butter hole. Just make sure u put tape over your wheel wells. I geuss that's it for now.:cool:
