Too lazy to type it so I copied this from wikipedia.
RadioShack relaunched the ZipZaps Micro RC line under the XMODS banner on October 2008. Aside from the new labels that bear the XMODS Micro RC logo, the packaging is similar to the ZipZaps line. The cars use the traditional box-type controller, as opposed to the gun-type controller of the ZipZaps SE line. Current models include the following:
1959 Chevrolet Corvette[6]
* Red
1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS[7]
* Blue
2009 Nissan GT-R
* Silver
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
They are less mod-able but pretty good straight out of the box. The motor is hard wired but it really doesn't need changed anyway.

I totally missed out on these. Came and gone. Every Radio Shack I visited said
they came during the christmas season, flew off the shelf, and that's that.
So what's up, did anyone get one? Please do tell.

I bought the GTR and like it! Completely different chassis, very scale looking, working head lights
I was down south last week on business and saw a few of both at an RS in MS...I should have picked up the Evo...
I was gonna do a review on the GTR for the forum but I just haven't had time lately. Too busy at work and on the road and I'm starting to spend a fair amount of time getting 1/10 trucks ready for battle - think wet muddy spring

Hey cool, sounds good, I'd love to see a review.
I see a few pop up here and there on the ebay action, so if you like it enough maybe I'll grab one.
