well both are worthy cars. i kinda like bits better but zipzaps can be made into some monster beasts. bits are a little cheaper and just as fun. i suggest getting cheap clones at first. heck some clones are just as good at half the price.

I'ld say start with a zipzap. You got more room inside the chassis to play with and if you play it right you can exchange it at RS if you screw up. :-)

well have someone help you or be around then dude. always wash your hands after touching solder. open up the front end and find the servo. you will notice 3 wires and 3 posts going to it. one yellow wire will be on it's own post and two(blue/green) will be on the middle post. move green wire to the third lonely bare post.

you will nolonger have a twitch but i think it decreases battery life?. not by much tho. sorry i dont have any pics tonight.
