Are Zip Zaps any good?

[BigC]

Well I have a Z-Car and I'm thinking of getting a Zip Zap becuase of their more detailed bodies, especially the Porsche and some of the 2 Fast 2 Furious cars. I want to know from people who have Zip Zaps if they're any good. I've heard they have poor range, bad steering, and other stuff too. How are they really?

I haven't had any problems with mine, but they are both late model ones.

If you buy a late model one, I don't think you'll have any of those problems.
And hey, parts are as close as Radio Shmack!

get a 49mhz 350z or 2f2f starter set and you are good to go. 49 have better range, and i havent had any troubles with steering. and they are pretty fast now too since RS has upgraded the pcbs since the pre-xmas shipment...

heck ya zaps are good.. just dual cell them and put some good tires on them

i definately like bits/ microsizers much better

i've used ZZ's, bits, clones, pretty much everything. I would treat the zips equal to bits if not better. Theres something about the ZZ's...unique.

i dont mean to be an ass but dont hijack other peoples' threads. this thread has nothing to do with dual celled or dual engine cars

Zips rule for handling, longer wheelbase = better stability. However, if turning on a pinhead is your thing, Bits and MSers are the great. Oh screw it, buy all you can of both and find out for yourself!
