Challenger and Camaro pics

I picked up the 2Fast 2Furious body kits for the zip zap today. I'm very impressed with the quality of these bodies. Thought I'ld post up some pics.

Excuse the quality of the pics, another testament to the crappy quality of my camera.

Dude thanks for the pics. The quality is fine, the best ones I've seen yet of the new bodies.

I ordered mine yesterday, can't wait to get them. I was pretty excited about the Dodge coming out, but when I saw the Camaro I almost crapped myself. that style Camaro is one of my all time favorite cars.

Picked up mine today also... I love these things, but don't have a chassis to fit them yet.. Still can't decide if I should transplant a 350 Z booster PCB to a ZZ chassis, or just stretch the 350 Z chassis...

Thanks, but trust when you get these bodies in your hands you will realize just how crappy these pics came out.

I'm loving how the challenger handles.

That all depends on how well you use an iron. I'm nowhere near good with the iron but I would go with a pcb swap. That is if you have a zip already. Other wise to save some cash, extend the chassis. It will be worth it to race a '69 camaro.

Thank you ralph, you make girls want to be near me.

Usually I like Camaros better, but the Challenger is so friggin tight, and the color scheme is off the hook.. Hoodlum like Joe Dirt kick ass.. It looks like it handles great.. I don't own a ZZ, so I guess I'll be stretching a chassis.. The most important part is the boost function.. Gotta have it.

No doubt. I might pick up a $20 pro from tiny just for a swap.

I've never owned a ZZ, I've heard that the chassis sits higher than the bits.If this is true, I'm not even gonna bother with pickin one up.

I don't see much of a differance. The bit may look like it's sitting lower becuase of the larger rears and the squat length. If you don't own a zip then I'ld say go for the stretched chassis, allthough buying a zip would be easier. If you do buy a zip go for the 350z.

I was thinking about pickin one up today, but for some reason I just was in a hurry to come home, and check out my new bodies like a nerd...lol

Man I wish I had mine here in my hands, but the Radio Shacks near my home never seem to get anything until everyone else already has it, so I just ordered it.

That Dodge does look a lot nicer than the Camaro, but I've got to stick by brand loyalty in this case. My dad ingraved it into my brain.

Personally, I'd do the PCB swap. You get a few added benefits by using the ZZ chassis. First, the heat sink on the motor has a much better design than the Bit heat sink. The ZZ heat sink actually screws down, so you don’t have to worry about pesky motor fit and heat sink fit problems. Second, you get full sized wheels with hot swap hubs. A car just isn’t cool without good hubs. And if you ask me, the Zip Zaps have stronger steering.

Here’s a couple of hints on the PCB swap. You have to reverse the steering wires when you do the swap. You also have to snip off the extra piece of plastic in the battery compartment, if you want to use a Bit charging base, or the ZZ will keep popping off the base. And make sure that add a second cell while you’re at it. Adding a second bat to a ZZ is a piece of cake. There’s tons of room in the battery compartment.

Hybrid MSPro/Zip Zaps are close to actual Nirvana.

The new muscle car bodies really are the shit!!! I got mine this afternoon. The paint jobs are perfect on mine. That purple Mitsubishi convertible is also gorgeous. I picked one up or the wife, along with the rest of the tune up kit, so she’d have a convertible with new 3.4 motor and 8:25:1 gearing. The car screams!!!!

well I think just about everyone knows my fondness of the late camaro's, but I'm going to have to say the challenger looks better.
what's no good on that camaro is the whole front end and front wheel wells could be just a slight bit smaller.

sweet pics sessiz! thanks, the bodies overall are cool as all hell, I'm getting sick of never seeing american muscle bodies for bits.
