I got mine!
I herd about them on Maxxtraxxwendsday, and had to have one so thurdays i went to radio shack and bought the first one, since the guy had to open the box from ups for me! I wanna get the F&F tuning kit, then a yellow stang body (got the red one now).
next i think im gonna get a Bit Char G but these were cheaper and if i wanted a Bit Char G i would have had to wait another week or 2.
Now time to build a race track...

I just got one too and I think my Microsizers blows it out of the water, the ZZ are hard to put together and very flimsy. I also got the F&F kit. The engines are not fast at all. My 3.8 will blow a ZZ away.

I got one too!!
I just picked up my new ZipZap black Civic today and also got the Fast and furious tuner kit. man these are great, I had no trouble putting it together and the quality seems on par with the Tomy Bits. I love the way you can change "rims" (hubcaps) without much trouble, and tires are nice and soft with cool tread patterns.
One neat thing about the ZipZaps is that the motor clip screws down to the chassis, no popping out there (teeny screwdriver is included). as stock with stock 16,000 rpm motor the car is fairly slow kinda like the Tomy 1.0 motor, but easy to handle and steers well. The controller is great, easier to operate than the Tomy controller and comes with a wrist strap too. I saw NO evidence of cost cutting and all parts fit fine, even the clear windows are slightly tinted!! I havent installed any of the F&F tuner parts yet, but i will soon and will post my findings. For 20.00 each i think its a great deal, if you havent got one yet go ahead and get one to try it, you may be pleasantly surprised! The package says "made in China for Radio Shack" so I really cant tell who makes it, but they did a great job I think. I may just have to go get a few more of these before they are sold out or discontinued.

Hi MTL & Speed!
Yea the bolt is a pain with that little tool. Found out if you a flat blade with a "guard" around the blade on a long stick it take about 2 to 3 seconds to undo or tighten the bolt.
Here is what I use. Its an old tuning wand but I think you get the drift.
A regular screwdriver with a tub around the blade end would also work as long as it fits over the bolt head.
