New ZZ's - SE?

Post by **CaboWabo** » Wed May 17, 2006 7:07 pm

That body has some great potential man.
I think I want one, and I already think I know what I'd do with it.

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Mater is cool, not sure what I think of the chassis. Kinda odd how bit sized PCBs works just fine, if not better than ZZ boards, and yet the ZZ PCB just gets bigger.

A steering motor is a nice addition though.

So... I heard mention of 2.4v, are these dual cell fast?

I was kinda hoping RS might drop the price from $20. I'm thinking I want one of these new chassis, but not sure I'm willing to drop another $20 on a Zip Zap. Don't they realize how hard it is to pay full price when you've just seen them on clearance.

I have to tell you if it was not for the Wreaker body I would not have dropped $20.00 on this ZZ it is real hard to drop that on it when right next to them is clearance Zip Zaps for $6.95and $10.00 for the ZZMT’s I had to walk around RS for a while and think.

Yea, I walked around RS yesterday, and there were no new ZZ's there. My store only had clearance Aston's (the DB9?) and the MT's at 12 and 10 dollars respectively. I don't know if my store is closing, but it's in the middle of a mall.

You can check the RS site for locations and it will give you the nearest stores that's going outta business. There are 2 in my area, one is completely sold outta ZZ's, I'll hit the other tomorrow. I got a hit list goin

Checked out 3 today, 2 didn't have much, at least the Sampson & Hummers. The 3rd did so I scored 3 there (couldn't get him to sell me the 2-49mhz for $3.97)and got a Carolina Crusher free ($10 coupon).

Just make sure you keep an eye on the site to get the new clearance prices 1st.

Nah, DT is the type of guy who wakes up and goes "Oh crap, I didn't have my fill of ZZ/Bit purchases today!" lol

Thanks for the tip DT.

edit: I just checked, and I have over 120 stores within 20 miles of me.. Not very many are closing.

yeah, it felt kinda weird buying this one

see what I got:

Just dropped it.
2.4v cell is the same as the SE. the whole chassis looks like the SE aside for NO pot inside(propo

)

That actually doesn't look too bad, aside from th beak on the bumper. Cut, bondo, sand and that's gone. Your pics make a good case for it too

nice. Problem it doesn't look as agressive as a real one so who knows

wait a minute...

is that front bumper removable/ swappable?

Maybe a littlte cut here, a snip there, and a WBK. That would make it look track ready.

I picked up one of these today. I like the truck more than the other two cars. All three new ones are regular ZZ's.

Right On!

SE cells kick ass. Killer power to weight ratio.

I think that body may actually look better than the original Zip Zap 911.

I just realized, the 2.4v SE cell was confirmed, but no one confirmed my question, are they dual cell fast, or are they the same speed as OG ZZs?

I forgot I wanted one of these. Dual cell type speed, and reliable steering could be a really fun car.
