For the past few weeks i just recently got involved with bitz and ZZ. I mostly used to fiddle with 1/10th scale electric motor RC cars and had a deep passion for it along side my veteran Uncle who is a serious modeler. (kick started my RC passion)

I was searching around ebay one day when i saw some ZipZaps, so from there i went to the site, searched around, found some things i liked and then decided this is my next step in RC racing and competitions. So the next day i went to go check out my local RadioShack.....watch this.....i hit the nearest mall and what i thought used to be my favorite RadioShack was a F--K--G "The Source" Canadian version of the store. So i went in hoping thier recent change of stores might still have a few Zipz left....Wrong! The had some "Turbo Micro RC" clones. Because i was so pisses i purchased one any ways and brought it home that day. Played with it for a few minutes until it fell off my table, and i returned to the store for another one cuz my first one was done lolol...I still have this piece of shit but its turning out not bad...this little clone made me stay up endless nights searching the web finding deals on Microsizers and Tomy's, and some Zips...

My uncle started noticing this passion and said i should desperately pick one up. So After work the next day i went to my bank took out some Cash and told my uncle "Order me ANY FUCKING BIT NOW" ...he started laughing cuz he knew how impatient i could become and so we hit up ebay and Toyeast and i just recently purchased the Lambo Set from Microsizers! (sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk) (ps Lambo'z and Porsche favorite cars of all time....and me being of Italian heritage the ever popular Mafia Ferrari is gold to me as well...thus the name Sicilian)

Any way...now ive been waitin for a few days for this bit set to come in...and because im so anxious ive built a track....now no offense to the tracks you guys have here on the site...their bautiful flat GT styled raceways...but coming from European Automobile passion, "I love my mountains, hills and sleek turns and roadways..."

My track has hills, real feel grass, and a nice long straight away for some tight action passing. Now the sad part is i have no Bit to race it besides my clone, so the testing is pretty shabby, but with my 10 inch lanes, and 6' by 4' race track, im pretty sure all types of bits will be able to race on it.

The last part to my fuckin long letter (sorry guys i'm serious about this stuff) is to rep those incharge of the site....

MAster piece people, this helped me a ton. I've searched a bit but i do have a few questions for you all....Starting with where can i get some decent bits and zipzaps in Canada, or whats the best way? and secondly once i get a pic of my clone on the site i was wondering if anyone could give me tips on what i should tune up on my car......

any way i have to go to my university classes now and imma be back around 4ish....Toronto time if that helps lol...please reply with some helpful suggestions.....

Thanks for reading........

The Sicilian is out.....

(crazy site best one out there)

Welcome to the hood SicilianRacer.

Your track sounds cool, get some pictures to show us if you can.
It's always nice to see what others are building and driving on.

As far as getting Bits/Zips in Canada, I'm sure our Canadian members will chime in with their thoughts.

As for upgrades, I suggest you look through the "Bit / Zip Performance Shop" as well as "Bit / Zip Chop Shop". You'll find plenty of modifications to do from dual celling to tab lowering.

Good luck on your mods!

Hey SR9, glad you got bitten. As for the hookup, Ebay is the real only way from my understanding on how to get hooked up w/ Zip shit. That and once you have been established here I can safly say, the pimps help eachother out day in, day out. Now snap some pics of that track! And please don't say you have no digcam/a crappy one

Welcome aboard man. Glad to see we've pulled in another with our tractor beam....lol

I'd say with one clone, you're just looking at the opening of the rabbit hole.. Really wanna see how far that hole goes?

Many addicts here.
