Important News About A New Zip Zaps Body!
 
I was surfing another micro rc site just now and found out that Radio Shack is making a new Zip Zap body......the Hummer H2! :D They said that it should be ready in the next 90 days! The colours that the Hummer H2 Zip Zaps body is going to be avaliable in are White and Metallic Bronze! I can't wait untill it comes out!

SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!:eek:
What site were you on?!?! send me an email or something...

metsrule119@hotmail.com

let me know i really wannna get one

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 02:23 PM

I saw the post in the Micro RC Center, in the Forum, and in the Zip Zaps Section.

Stridex 01-19-2003 02:25 PM

Those things are going to be very hard to get ahold. I can't wait. 90 days seems like forever when looking at it from a 1:64 scale life. :)

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 02:29 PM

Ha ha ha! :D The H2 bodies will probably come on starter kits when they come out. When they come out I will probably bid for a Bronze H2 body on EBAY with a chassis because I won't mod it, and keep it with the scale speeds of a H2.

EDIT: The person who said the stuff about the colours admitted that he wasn't being honest that day, so MAYBE the colour will be different. :mad: :mad:

sessiz10 01-19-2003 03:36 PM

I saw that too and unfortunatly nothing is official.

Stridex 01-19-2003 04:00 PM

I just called my Radio Shack to ask them and they basically said what amounts to "No comment." They never said the word no.

Look how long it's taking to get the VW out. The new gold civic and black cobra just came out of no where. Did anyone know about them before they hit stores?

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 04:03 PM

It's probably coming out, though I wouldn't be so sure because Micro RC Center exagurates some times.

NitroBurner 01-19-2003 04:26 PM

Awesome! I would love to have a H2 ZipZap! But what I would really love is a Suburban or Silverado ZipZap! Chevy owns all!!

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 04:29 PM

Yes, I would like all those Zip Zap bodies, but, I would also like to see a Cadilac Escalade Zip Zap body. :)

NitroBurner 01-19-2003 04:43 PM

Yea definatly gotta have a Cadillac body! And bodies like the Suburban and Escalade would allow a little bit more room for lowering also!

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 05:01 PM

Yeah, also you could have room to lower the body down with the H2 body, but I don't wan't to because it would look ugly lowerd.

sessiz10 01-19-2003 05:06 PM

No body has mentioned tires. An escalade needs 23'' rims. I don't think the esclade (or any other truck) body would look good with the stock zip wheels.

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 05:14 PM

I think that the H2 starter kit will probably have bigger rims, maybe a high-torque, custom, 0.8 motor.

cisco 01-19-2003 05:16 PM

Knowing Radio Shack it will probably be like all of the other starter kits.

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 05:26 PM

Yeah, your right. Too bad. :( Though I do think that they just may modify the motor, like they did to the gold Honda Civic and the black Ford Mustang starter kits.

cisco 01-19-2003 05:28 PM

It would be cool if Radio Shack did improve the zip zaps. Like change the pcb and making faster motors.

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 05:32 PM

Oh, no, thats not what I mean, I mean that for the H2 starter kit, Radio Shack gives the motor more torque so it can climb slopes.

cisco 01-19-2003 05:37 PM

I know. I was just saying it would be good if they improved them.

Canadian Bit 01-19-2003 05:40 PM

Oh, ok. Radio Shack will probably do something to the Hummer H2 starter kit's chassis.

NoPropMan 01-19-2003 10:29 PM

I would be pleased if Radio Shack would have the freaking NOS motor available by itself.

Sheesh. Can anyone find the Fast and Furious Tuner?

Nathan 01-20-2003 12:01 AM

I was hoping for the H1- The H2, for those who don't know, is nothing more than a modified Yukon that gets 10mpg. The H1 was made almost from scratch for the Military.

Canadian Bit 01-20-2003 07:21 AM

I found the Fast and Furious kit when I went to Detroit, NoPropMan. Nathan, the H2 is a modified Yukon, but a Yukon does not have the H2's capabilities offroad.

Canadian Bit 01-21-2003 07:23 AM

YIIIPPEEE!!! The guy who said he wasn't honest that day was not honest in another post, this means the information is completely right!!! :D He also said that the info was direct from Radio Shack!! This is not a hoax!!

Wreck Inc 2 01-21-2003 04:19 PM

boring lol sorry

Canadian Bit 01-21-2003 05:19 PM

Why do you think Hummer H2 bodies for Zip Zaps are boring?

airline2 01-21-2003 08:13 PM

yes

Canadian Bit 01-21-2003 08:37 PM

I think Wreck Inc 2 is posting two word posts when he hasn't even looked at the first post with rude remarks just to post a lot of posts.

airline2 01-21-2003 08:39 PM

I did read your post in front of mine

frizzen 01-22-2003 01:54 AM

So the rumor is that Radio Hack will soon be selling ugly tall Stationwagons along with the Rice and a couple sports cars?

I was about to buy a PT Loser, but if they're making something EVEN UGLIER then I'm gonna hold out for that! :)

Canadian Bit 01-22-2003 07:17 AM

No, there is no rumor. I found out at another website that Radio Shack is starting to produce Hummer H2 starter kits. They'll probably be available in the next 90 days.

airline2 01-30-2003 07:12 AM

the honda civic gold is better

Canadian Bit 01-30-2003 07:15 AM

No way! The H2 is for Zip Zap citys and obstacle courses, and going up miniture hills, not for racing. It's just your crusing Zip Zap.

airline2 01-30-2003 07:22 AM

the only place they are good for is in the mountains

Canadian Bit 01-30-2003 07:30 AM

And it's also good for my top secret project: 8!7 C!7Y [Bit City].

airline2 01-30-2003 02:23 PM

if it is true it will look wacky

airline2 01-30-2003 02:32 PM

i just called mine and they said that it is not true

Stridex 01-30-2003 02:49 PM

I asked mine as well. They said it could be real or it could be a hoax. They couldn't answer. They said they normally wouldn't find out until it was a few weeks away from being released.

You'll find a lot of posts on the other forum that are just trash. People purposely post the wrong answers to newbies questions over there to get even with the way the mods have treated them. I don't blame them, but it's one reason I don't believe anything that has been said on that site. I'm with airline. I'll believe it when I see it. I hope it is the truth. With the new PCB's, I think I'm done playing with the rest of the micro's. That means ZZ's better start giving me something new to buy...AND FAST!!! :mad:

airline2 01-30-2003 03:43 PM

any others?

Canadian Bit 01-30-2003 04:16 PM

If it does, though, it would look very cool. I personally like the Hummer H2.
