Spend $40 on ZipZaps/FF kit OR on Microsizers/BitCharge Accessories

Hello everyone !! I am new to the board, and ever since I got my first Toyota Celica (Black) Microsizer I have been hooked to the TINY RC world. And now I am here to ask everyone a question.

I am planning to get a ZipZap and a FF Tuner Kit (with Eclipse body), just because how cool the ZipZaps FF bodies look. But a friend of mine purchased a ZipZap with a stock motor and he claims his car is slower compared to my stock Microsizer. And all the posts at ZipZaps the general complaint seems to be how slow ZipZaps are. But are they really that slow ? (I haven't seen both side by side).

I could truly spend the $40 on my microsizer by getting a different body, tires, suspension etc.

But I am not sure what to do..

Get the ZipZap/FF kit or just spend the $40 on the microsizer ? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

PS. I am suprised how rare the FF Kits and some of the cooler ZipZap model cars are getting. The two Radio Shack's close to me are SOLD out. I tried ordering some of the RadioShack website..operator tells me they are all SOLD out. :-P

In my opinion, I would get the upgrades for your micro sizer, and put off the zz till another time... That's my 2 cents.

Hey DJ, welcome to the Community!

As far as which to spend the money on? Have a look at question #23 in my Bit FAQ (link is in my Signature)...See if that doesn't help you decide.

Hey i also have 2 Microsizer and 1 Bit Char-g...when Radio Shack got thousands of these...i popped in and got the FF kit...guess what the bodies fit on ok, the gears worked, and the stabilezers from ZZ work...but the motors are slightly different....i couldnt get it in the motor bay without major force into any of the Microsizers or Bit Char-g

Stick with buying MS or BC parts only!

You got pictures to prove that? Since the ZipZap bodies are CONSIDERABLY larger and so is the wheelbase vs. a Bit. Not to mention I also have the FULL F&F body set and they sure as heck DON'T fit on my Bits/MicroSizers.
