I picked up a Shelby today. Photos and a brief review are available here:

Enter at your own risk.

Yeah, I kinda figured that one out (based on the image filename) LOL. I was simply asking about the SKU for the Shelby :wink: :)


Per my previous post in another thread, Being that the blue motors (10,000 RPM) are long-since gone, I'm assuming that the blue motor is actually a purple one (34,000 RPM) -> prolly lost the hue during the original JPG conversion... I've seen that problem more than once with RS's web team LOL (check this pic for an example -> http://www.radioshack.com/images/Pro...0/l60-7539.jpg ... the purple motor actually looks blue in their JPG). And of course, the yellow (23,500 RPM) and orange (28,000 RPM) motors are just that respectively. If so... WOOHOO! Purple motors without having to buy an unwanted body kit! :) :)

As far as the extra whatchamacallit on the motor clip, I read elsewhere on the net that possibly it may be something to hold the axle in... you know, the common problem on the Zaps when the axle slot get's too worn to hold the rear axle in place. If so, WOOHOO AGAIN!!! :)

thanks again. and isnt the nitrous 38,000 rpm?

Actually it's 34,000 RPM.

Here's a little chart for ya (note that throughout the years RS has changed the "names" of a few a few of the motors, that's why it's always safer to simply use the motor colors and RPMs, verses their names):

P.S. Any idea of the SKU for the new Shelby?

oh, thanx. i have a blue motor, can you even by that anymore? i got it with my blue pt crusier, the 1st generation. yeah, that old, :p i have the SKU for the shelby, here it is:

Green: #60-70700

Red: # 60-7071

Nope, 'fraid not LOL. The blue motor was only offered in the 60-7501 ZipZaps Performance Booster Upgrade Kit. The green motor (16,000 RPM) was the one that shipped with the older ZipZaps starter kits:


Thanks :) BTW, it appears that RS has added the pages to their web site -> http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...uct_id=60-7070 and http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...uct_id=60-7071 :)

Confirmed -> http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...uct_id=60-7551 :)
