if zip zaps were smaller would you buy them
smaller by i mean the size of bit charg's

I suppose I would be more inclined to buy more of em.
Really what I'd like is some sort of standard.
That's what would turn me on - if all the manufacturer's made compatible parts - that'd be da bomb.
but that'll never happen either lol

I'm mixed, because I like them both. If the question was to make bits the same size as zips, I'd have a hard time answering that, too.

I really like the compact size of the bits, but then the zips longer wheelbase handles a little better and is easier to mod.

I like zips just the way they are, the only complaint is lack of bodies.

ezenterprises,
i dont know what you are talking about but zip zaps have more bodies that bit charg cars

I dunno about that.

I'm gonna haveta count them but it sure as hell seems like bits got more bodies.

i likw the zips as long as they are just because I can easily do internal dual cells

...... but, my ONLY complaint about zips is there height.... they are waaaayy to high,...... I mean, normal cars wouldn't be that high!! lol

yeah i also dont like how high most of th ebodies sit on the chassis, just needs to be lowered tho either the tabs on the chassis or the slots in the body.

I like Zip Zaps longer length, because it's easier to internal dual cell, and they handle much better with dual cells than bits. My tri-cell Zip Zap was even controllable still, but I wouldn't even bother tricelling a Bit, but all that aside when you look at the two side by side, bits just look cool, and just when I think I'm all about my Zip Zaps, I back into my bits.

I like 'em both.

I likes my Zips just the way they is. I just wish they had a booster pcb and some truck bodies.

If a ZZ was smaller it'd be a BCG.

Now if there was a middle ground size that would be cool.

I like my ZZ's and my BCG's. I run the BCG's more right now but and soon as I finish this next project I'll be running a ZZ more for a while.

zipzaps(at least the new ones) are pretty nice. so are bits tho. as far as going fast id put my $$ on bits. they are lighter and when you up the power and gear ratio and do some mechanical enhancments you can get them to go really really fast. you can do most of those mods to zipzaps as well but they are heavier. but that long wheelbase is cool.

i have more bits but neither are bad.

Buzzbait · Post by **Buzzbait** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 10:00 am

I don't really see speed as an issue. A Zip is so easy to do an internal dual cell mod on, that I actually consider Zips to be faster.

hogjowlz · Post by **hogjowlz** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 10:33 am

nah zips have more mass to push. however a 3rd cell in a zip may be good i should do that soon. a 3rd cell in a bit dont work to well cuza weight distribution.
