The only problem with that is I see 3 different Micro's there, Panther, Shen Qi Wei, & Bensu. And you don't want to end up with a Bensu.

I'm so sick of seeing the comparisons to Zip Zaps on ebay that are packed full of lies.

Motor clone - 2.6 or 300 MPH (scale) ZZ - 1.0 or 150 MPH (scale)

Zip Zaps never came with a 1.0, that's Bit char-Gs. Zip Zaps used to come with a 1.6, now they have a torquey 2.15. The clone motor does get a slight nod in top speed.

Tires clone - Rubber Soft Racing Tires ZZ - Plastic Hard, Slick Factory Tires

I don't know about Panthers, but most clones have hard tires, the Zip Zaps are actually some of the softest I've seen, and are not slick, but they are too narrow, which kills the looks.

Charge Time clone - 45 seconds ZZ - up to 2 minutes

They both charge for 45 sec, but I wish the ZZ charged for 2min. then we really could get 20 min. runtimes.

Run Time clone - up to 20 minutes ZZ - up to 5 minutes

Amazing how 2 cars with 100mah batteries, can have such drastically different runtimes, especially when the one that supposed to have charged more than twice as long, has 1/4 of the run time. It's just not adding up.

Range clone - Up to 75 feet ZZ- 10-15 feet

ok, so the clones do have better range, but 75ft.? BS.

Compatibility clone - Almost w/ any car parts/engine ZZ - Non-compatible/quote]Zip Zaps are 'almost' compatible too, they just have longer chassis, and cooler rims.

Price clone - HOT !!! ZZ - $24.95

Zip zaps have always been $19.99. The clones are a better deal, but you get what you pay for.

Sorry for the rant. I'm sure most of you realize all this, but I just got irritated seeing the BS one more time, and had to point these things out.

the first clone i ever bought. a "thor" racer. the only one i ever got with a non hard wired motor (my first pink clone motor) had over 75 feet. i kid you not. the car was a pos other than the motor and range but it had range.
