Zipzaps in Europe
 
Ěs Zipzaps availalible (???) in Europe, cuz i might be interested in the Hemi, Yenko or Evo :-)

first i wann aknow why you ask a zipzap wuestion in the bit and ms forum...and second the hemi, yenko and evo are all bodys you have to buy in kits...so all you need is to buy a starter kjit and ten the body kit you want....i dont think they are available in europe so you would have to try ebay

TheEvo 08-07-2003 03:51 AM

Ohh.. sry about that.. I'll try ebay then! They might also be cheaper there? BTW thanks.

Canadian Bit 08-08-2003 08:26 AM

Maybe if you wait untill Sept. but Ebay is what I used.

TheEvo 08-08-2003 02:01 PM

What is going on in september? Manufacturers in Europe?
BTW, i didn't intend to buy them right now.

Canadian Bit 08-09-2003 09:05 AM

Oh, stupid me that was in Canada. Try Ebay or RCMod.

The UK version of the ZipZaps is called "Megamotors Mean Speed Machines."

The control is IDENTICAL (size/shape/colour/logo placement) but instead of the Radioshack ZipZaps logo there is a Megamotors logo.

The cars are also identical, they have the trademark same-sized front/back wheels.

They are in the Argos Autumn/Winter 2003 catalogue, at the top left of page 1138.

The cars come with most, if not all, of the motors/gearsets/tyres/hubcaps that RS sells.

Strangly, only 2 frequencies are available, due to the UK being tight-arsed with radio freqs.

If you need anymore info, contact me at alexofness@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Alex

yeah 27 and 40 mhz, if im not wrong?
I guess it is like that cuz then it dont interfere with phones and such?
Well Alex Nessie it was a great help!
Are you a manufacturer or what else you might call it?
If so, could you send me a catalogue or just a copy of the page via e-mail..?
Ohh.. better idea.. e-mails coming up..

alexnessie 08-10-2003 07:15 PM

I'm actually just a Bit racer with too much time on my hands, not a manufacturer.

I'll try and scan the page soon for y'all.


I'm hopefully going to have them very soon so stay on the lookout for pics from me.

TheEvo 08-11-2003 03:31 PM
