Hello, anyone else having problems, getting a good working ZipZap SE?? I am on my 3rd, and am still having problems I have had 2 of the yellow models, now I have a white one, it was fine til about 2-3 hours after I got it, then the battery started dying after only about a minute running (I have tried double and triple charging it, and with the lights unplugged, same result) funny thing, this is the first one I got that didn't chatter when the car was switched on, oh well, I am trying again, taking it back and getting another one, one more try, and this time if it doesn't work, I am giving up for now and getting the $50.00 corvette :>

Don't get the corvette, xmods are out, and they are the same price as that corvette. They are much more upgradeable.

so far this ZZse is ok, but as I think about it.. Hmmm which do I really want more... Hmmm

Well, I went and traded my ZZse, and got a new one, but then I also bought the Corvette (found a 30% off coupon on the RS site) so I am trying it, so far so good, very fast (too fast

)but it controls very well so far anyway.. the cats love it, I may play with it a bit then return it, dunno yet..

Are you allowed to buy something and return it even though it is working perfectly fine?

i also had 2 problems with the yellow model first was the front the hub caps would not stay on. the second was the front wheels would go one way and returned taht one to get my money i will put it towards a xmod

When I do my returns it's usually cause something isn't right, and in this case, I'd be ok, the salesman said this Corvette was never opened, but I could see it was, so... if I do decide to return it, there's my out

as for the ZZse, was about to test it (right after watching Spongebob that is)

Lol

I'm on my 6th se, getting pretty tired of all the steering issues. If this one starts acting crazy then I'm done.

viperkilla · #12 10-04-2003, 07:54 PM

Yea, I just returned my yellow rx-7 for the Savanna. So far im pleased.

jbach39 · #13 10-04-2003, 09:18 PM

Likewise, so far so good, just wish this one had the range of my first 2.. this white one seems to only go about 3 feet away and have problems Oy! my 1st series ZZ (Red Porsche) has better range

as for the Vette, VERY nice range and speed (just had it in my hallway (I live in an apt building) and this car rocks, i'll have a hard time giving it back

if you took the se off the charger when the lights were stoped blinkeing, it wasn't done charging, you have to wait till it turns green again

Actually with zip zaps and SE, they are upgradable. For example interchangable bodies, motor, gears...etc.
