The stores I have been to here in the Tulsa area are all out. I managed to find two Zaps but had to go to about 6 stores to do it. Went back a few days later looking for upgrade kits and none of the stores had much. heh all I could find last night was one store that had one tire and rim set left hehe... All the stores around here have waiting lists now.

And yet, I managed to find a black civic just walking into the store yesterday. Glad I picked it up if they are hard to find!

I can't wait for the noobs buying these things to come out of the wood work and start racing, so I can bust out my bits and send them home in tears cause they never heard of them....LOL

They will soon find out that the bits rule... ZZ are cool, but come on, They're a RS product..LOL

I plan to buy one to put the die cast MM car tops on them, particularly the '62 bubble top (which i happen to have a friend who owns a very similar car). No time or want to mess up my bit/microsizers for chassis extension!

if you put a metal body on your zz it will run like a chevy corsica

I though that what a model rocket engine was for?:D That little get up and go. About a C6-3 should do it. Maybe a three cluster or a D Grade motor?

Over the last 20 years they have put these about everwhere. Go to the RS site and look up stores. Use 92057 and 92008. This should pick up all of the RS stores from Oceanside through Vista, Carlsbad, and one or two other cities furthe down and east.

Hum. There is a good one in Encinitas that been there since the dawn of time. Its in one of the old strip malls off of El Camineo Real. Dont remember the address.

There is also one just off of I5 on Mission in Oceanside that been ther for 30+ years! Right across from the HS.

You may need to hit the one off the track. The Carlsbad mall is always hit but like the one in San Marcos off of Rancho Santfe road is off the beaten track.

But the chase is the fun part. :D

There was a Civic at the RS off of College and 76 around Wed. The Carlsbad Plaza only has those PT Crusers if that helps.

Need to take back a clone bit to WM since its charger is going mad and eats battries like crazy! May grab another ZZ.

Zipzaps!
 
Radioshack by me has a bunch of blue and black civics!

15 of each at least - too bad no tracks or NOS kits though.

binaryterror 10-19-2002 08:38 AM

Yay! I ordered my Black civic online late last night...about 12pm!
