well i got one but I didn't like the wat it looked (too plain) so I painted it. now before you see it just remember that I've never painted a model or anything in my life, so be prepaires for it to look like crap. but seeing as how it's my first time painting a car I'm pretty gosh darn proud of it.

anyways heres some pictures of the stupid thing.
and for those of you that dont know how small these things actully are, thats a CD thats it's sitting on.


sorry for the bad pics (I uses a webcam)

Hey good job PP! I used to be BIG TIME into Warhammer 40k, Battletech, and Blood Blowl (still play Blood Bowl) and I painted litterally 100s (if not 1000s) of little figures!! I knows what a chore it be to paint the little buggers, so I do! Those ZipZap cars are something else, arrrrr...they have this one PT Cruiser that is the same exact color as my RL PT!!! I've been hunting for it all month, arrrrrrrrrrr...blasted things caught on now though and I can't finds the Purple PT Cruiser ZipZap anywheres!!!! Grrrrrr

Sounds like the battery to me Redline i got a jap bit Char-G its good fun till it breaks:( (they dont run on carpets though) needs to be a tabletop or equivilent

BTW nice paint job PP i might have guessed it was gonna be purple

I would do it black with a certain G-Leaf on the front and PS2newz accross the back spoiler

my friends car is a different frequency then mine but when he charges it on my charger it works with my controll, but the second he takes it off it no longer works with mine.

if they are the same frequency then I'm pretty sure you have a bad battery.
