RadioShack is carrying Initial D zipzaps

[el_fefes]

I've seen them, they look pretty cool. They will even have an AE86 upgrade kit.

Nice.
I have the WRX STi by Tomy. Fun little things.

[hjr]

30 bucks seems like quite a bit for a teenie little r/c car.

[CKY]

IMO the ones made by tomy are way better

Get the SE version of the Zip Zaps. Don't go for the regular cuz they suck.

the SE versions are 40 bucks but they have the following:
-the ability to race 5 other people (6 person racing!!)
-proportional steering! (no more button tapping. You turn the wheel hard, the car turns hard. Turn it soft, car corners soft).
-comes with an upgraded motor too!!

SE versions got way better control. Worth the extra 10 over the other versions.

Here's some media for ya:

Yeah, those were brake lights. And headlights.
Didn't set up a good enough driving course (And my Zip Zap driving skills still need improvement). But yeah... this car is really really cool :)

All the Zip Zap shells should work on the SE version also. I believe it's the same chassis and stuff.

Bit Char G bodies should also fit, no?

Sweeeet!! :hitit: :D

[dugrant153]

time for Zip Zap Autocross!!!

[Orbie]

Haha, I remember my friend and I tried to race these a while back. Not sure where everyone got the STi's but I thought they only made Impreza WRX's. I have a Tomy Impreza and "WRX" is all it says on the back on my Subaru.

Picture is fuzzy but the gold on the back says WRX...

My friend had the automodellista set as well, but from what I remember the Bit Char-G's were still better then the Microsizers. They had 2 speed settings while the latter only had all or nothing throttle. This made any type of autocrossing way easier in the Bit-Char-G's. From what I'm seeing of the Zip-Zap's, these are even more of a step above both the Tomy's. While with the others you could only race up to 4 other cars (2 in the case of the Microsizers), with the Radioshack ones you can go up to 6! and plus the steering and throttle are not buttons but can be set at varying degrees. It's been a while but I might have to pick up one just for fun :thumbsup:
