I was in radioshack today doing a little looking around trying to kill some time when I came across those miniture remote control cars called zip-zaps. The salesman told me that since christmas was near the company brought out some new cars for the season (I dont know how credible that is... this is radiioshack) Anywayss.... I was browsing them... and they have a 2005 mustang... they are soooo cute. they come in silver and red... and you can upgrade the wheels and exaust and all that to make the car go faster... hahaha I thought it was a cute idea anyway...
Have any of you guys seen them... and do their so called modifications actully work?

Have a great day!

I remember these were pretty big last year. Sopposedly you can upgrade to faster engines and different suspension stuff. I never got one though hehe.

I was hoping they'd make a Cobra.

A friend of mine had one of those things. Those are the remote controlled ones, right? He never "modded" the thing, though

. They're kinda cool to have. It's something to play with while, say, at a restaurant waiting for your food, or at the airport waiting for your flight......

I've never seen them in person but they had the inventor of zip-zaps on Monster Garage. It was the episode where they created the big remote controlled car. So yes, I've heard of them.

I own two. They are fun, but get old in about a month. It's had to find a place that is smooth enough to drive them around. It's fun to have races though.

As for the upgrades, they are a must. Too slow without.

The friend of mine who has one told me I can have his.

Look out world....
