I would have put this in Electric, but it's not hobby quality.

I got bored and saw it was snowing. So I went into my room and unfortunately only had a havoc heli to play with...woohoo, thats real fun in the snow! But then I opened my desk drawer and remebered my ZipZaps. I pulled it out, threw in some hald dead batts and went at it. The 4wd and no diffs make them capable if you have the extra motor, you pretty much need it. I run the high speed motor on stock gears for extra torque, and when you have good batts it really works well. But if you have dead ones, your SOL.

Anyway, got pics and a vid.

Sorry for low quality, I can't shoot vids very well...my camera is too sensitive.

*exstatic* I haven't seen one of those in forever! I've been looking to purchase one for a while, but I haven't found them anywhere for a decent price! I had one exactly like yours until I misplaced it. Fun little things, ain't they? :D

Cheers,
Kyle.

Yeah they are! Me and my cousin used to have a ball with them, he's like 5, so ZZ are perfect for him. If you want one, I'll sell you mine or go get one and sell it to you...I'd also take a trade for it. PM if you want it, ignore if you don;t care.

Lemme guess... your five year old cousin loves to chase cats or dogs with em'? Doesn't matter what age you are, that's always a blast. Lol.

You've got PM. ;)

Cheers,
Kyle.

Well, that and he likes to run over matchbox cars and blaze through legos. I think he's older, but yeah, no matter what, when you have a ZZMT and batteries, you have FUN!

Uh, have to check...I think I'm selling Donzii mine. IDK if I'll really go wild on buying them myself and selling them, and If if did, they would cost at least the original retail...Luckily I think I can get them relatively cheap.

Yeah, they make ZZMT (ZZ Monster Truck) They still make the cars, their just under some crazy new name. ZZ have always been fun, no matter what. And their affordability made it easy to have a good collection.

Nice little truck. I've wanted to pick one up(off of ebay) for bashing around the house and if we ever get little amounts of powdery snow, that too(the snow that we get is too much for the BL Slash, Nitro Stampede, and even the Mini LST2. Guys if I can find any deals, I'll post 'em up.
EDIT: Ok I found it. This person has 10 of em but they're Hulk so cool by me.

I have the hulk.

I ran it until the batts died and then cut up the supension to run the tires on an xmod. Worked fairly well actually...

There's quite a few mods to make these things really capable, and able to articulate.

i love these little things. i just wish the mods were easier to do i can't get them to articulate. but these things are tough! i drove mine of the roof, not a scratch on it! i just wish i could get some more torque out of them, which is why i want greenday to tell me what he did to his.
