Show off your cool Zipzaps!
 

Post pictures of your coolest bodies, strangest mods, and more!

Here's my Civic. Haven't done much to it. BCG rim swap, Cat 5 antenna, and some Z Cars stickers are on it.

Added: I just did a layman tricell mod and it works like a dream, well for a ZipZap. It has a 1.6 motor and is now comparable to my BCG. It's fast enough to flip over and that surprised me a lot. Never seen a Zip flip over before.

I don't spend much time on cosmetics. Here's a pic of my 3 cell "Booster" Zap Franken-fast! It used to be a quad, but I need to get some new cells. Still with 3, it's way fast!

Here's another 3-cell zap that I do crazy 1/4 mile times with. Again, I don't do much with cosmetics, I spend more time making them go fast.

BTW the yellow one is lowered in front and has bit front wheels. The Champaigne one is lowered in front and has a potentiometer under the shell to lower speed if I'm on a slick floor and can't get traction.

Both of 'em go somewhere around 7-8 mph and are friggin' quick.

goal: to find out what happens when u hit the illustrious 11MPH barrier (scale mach1) hehe.

I haven't done any mods to mine, but the pics of my stock Cranberry Red PT Cruiser came out pretty kewl looking (considering that the pics were taken with a cheap webcam LOL).

You did a 3 cell Zap too right? How well does that fastback run with the metal body? It looks sweet! Those rear tires on the Eclipse, aren't they plastic? Hotwheels? Traction?

thanks for the compliments.

yup my bitzap has 3 cells...that's the white mystic stang vert. it hauls. very fun.

the die cast shelby has a dual cell..still runs faster than any single cell zip or bit(use red zz motor..great tq)...cornering is awesome with the weight..very tight and no flips.

the eclispe has wheels from a johnny lightning muscle car..it was actually from the shelby car. the wheels are mild rubber. traction isnt good..but it allowed the single cell old zip zaps to run on carpet.

Aww that shelby looks sweet. Good job.
I had my civic si on a tri cell zip and the rears would peel in reverse, but not in forward:confused:

thats normal..i noticed it on mine too..so i studied it very closely.

when u go forward the front end lifts up a little...this causes a weight transfer(albeit tiny) and puts more of the cars weight on the rear wheels..hence..better traction. harder to peel out. u want this.

in reverse..your just dragging the car along..no weight transfer..spin city.

Ambulance
 

Take a look at this ambulance I created.

Tail Pipe
 

Take a look at this tail pipe addition.

I figured as much but didn't think the miniscule weight would make a diferance.
