Yenko, Challenger, 350Z
- Thats right, another line of cars are here.
First off I must say that it is the
best thing they have done by creating
some true muscle. By putting in the
Yenko Camaro they have now opened up a new light
on Zip Zaps. I must say how sick and tired i am of
driving around rice burners. The two musclecars
are such a great idea. The 350Z, which I am not
a fan of, is out also and looks nice. But I am still
waiting for the Vettes to be running around
the tracks.
Zip Zaps on the Way!
- Radioshack announced that there will be a slew
of zip zaps on the way soon. There is
no for sure date on the shipment but lets hope
it is soon due to the already long waiting
lists. There is still no word or even thoughts
on Chevrolet making a deal with Radioshack.
Though if they did look for cars like the Corvette
or the SST to be in the Zip Zap packages.
Stay tuned to this progress as it will be tabbed
Foreign or Domestic?
-A stir has been going around about which to buy,
foriegn, or domestic?Well, needless to say I have
both. Currently the only known all American made
mini is the Zip Zaps. This narrows down the
choices for competition. My foreign made cars
are the mini-Q and the Fit Racer. Let me just
say in a straight drag race the two foreign cars
kill the Zip Zap every time. However what I
have noticed is that the Zip Zaps controls work much more
precise. Though with all the extra strength and
pieces they have to assure they run good
they weigh alot more which hurts their speed factor.(dont
waste your time on the red gears.) The foriegn
cars are lighter but seem to have more energy and charge
to the motor. This makes them a big plus
on the dragstrip.So if your not worried about
the highest quality but are out for speed go foreign
but if you want a real quality strong car go Zip
Zap.(For tips on gearing and speed check out
the garage.)
New Colors!
There are some new colors being made on select
cars such as the Mustang and the PT. The
Cobra comes with the new black which looks
nice on the car and the PT has a light metallic
blue. Another new color is on the Mazda.
with a beige metallic color.
Zip Zap Units are Here!
As I said I would report to you
about the ship date of the new slew of cars I
missed out because they shipped
without the info regarding the date.
But dont worry they have been shipped and
they are here. At a local shop I counted
atleast 35 cars. But if they havent got to
you yet then be patient as they are on their
way.
Walmart Joins the Craze
Walmart recently added a line of minis to their
stores. The cars are probably foreign because
they have the small wheelbase and fat
body. They come in a dome that is more flat
and oval than the other foreign cars. They
retaill for$13.99 and I inspected one and
noticed they really do look like their made cheap.
The rear and frnt wheels(chrome part) are solid, they
have a spoke indention but never break through.
Of course that can be changed by putting foreign
or Zip Zap rearend under it but you have to think
of the quality or speed of the car.(If you
want to know how to get a Zip Zap rearend
under the foreign chassis then check the garage.)
