Tell me about it I got one of the first ZZ's and it sucks....... but I hear the later versions are much bettter.

I am sure it will be true with teh se's, there is always gonna be bugs in a new product but they still look like they are worth it as it stands.

Damn hog,

You sure dis on da Zip Zaps alot! I don't wan't to start a "which is better" thread, so I will half (or maybe 1/3) agree with ya. The only thing I didn't like about the first run was the slow pcb's and motors. The handling was much better than bits, and they look more to scale (less cartoonish) than bits. Although I will admit that some bit bodies look better than the same car in a Zip Zap body. Oh, and my Zip Zap will kick your bits (clones) ass. Just kidding, lol. I like Zip Zaps better, but I don't dis on da bits or clones. They're all good, just a matter of preference. So don't be disin' on da Zaps so much. Thank you.

I prefer the zips over any other micro, but I can honestly say that the first gen sucked. I bought clones just to rape them of their pcbs. I promptly had them installed into my zips and was happy. The newer pcbs have been revised and are just as good as any tomy pcb (boosters excluded). I can't say they're as good or better than some clone pcbs though. My precious cars and shen still out brute the zips and bits.

yep, this is part of the reason i'm waiting on the new SEs, maybe the enfis will have the steering fixed and maybe a little bit better assembled...but if not it's not stoppin me from buying one.

I COME WITH INFO! I have driven X-mods. ask no questions about why i got to! Driving it is so choice, if you have the means i highly reccomend picking one up. it drives much better than Mini and it has the gun controller. the bodies are way cool, u can put different body kits on the main body. i only got to play with it for a little while and it was the bare minimum that you can possibly get. needless to say i was still impressed. if this is what they do completely stock, i cant wait to see what will happen when i get my hands on a tuned ride. (this should happen within the next 3 weeks)

The launch event will be in New York and i get to go!

oh, in case u guys didnt already kno, there will be a super street mini magazine packaged with the Xmods starter kit that focuses on how to tune ur car to the max performance for whatever course u may be racing on.

NATIONAL LEVEL TOURNAMENTS ARE COMING!
