Just wanted to stop in to say hello to all, I just got my ZZ cars, and they are a blast. We have been racing them all week in the office after hours on our huge conference room table! They are so addicting!

As many have mentioned, I will be shaving some of the body weight by removing some excess plastic from the inside body with a dremel. Not sure if that will work, but I will try it.

I have 2 cars, the 27mhz, and 49 mhz. This way I can race anyone in the office!

I am running the Civic and Supra bodies. Both have the FF turbo engines (not the NOS), and we are getting better performance out of them too. For the type of tracks we usually make, the NOS engines seem a bit light on the torque side, so the turbos are better.

Well, thought I would say hello. If you want to check out some pics, I threw up a quick page on my site for them last night.

Great looking cars! I had been holding off on the ZipZaps, but your site may have changed my mind.

Keep up the good work and your body work is sweet!!

Thanks, likely more to come!! I will post some pics of my new body work soon, but the color is not really what I was looking for on the lexan bodies.

"Stock motors have been dropped for the 2.6 aftermarket engines running at a cool 26,060 rpm"
Tomy's 2.6 runs at 26000 rpm. where did you get that extra 60rpm? do you have a tomy motor?

....wings and stickers. They add the extra 60.

Silly Ricers! It's the yellow paint and electroluminescent 8 inch tachometer (and the 8 inch exhaust pipe to go with it) that adds the extra 60.

(No offense to ricers. I'm jusss playin' yo)
