I bought a TOY today
Posted: Oct 7, 2004 @ 4:10amThe last time I bought something like this was probably in elementary school or middle school.
Anyways, I bought a Zip Zap from Radio Shack, and I must say it's very cool. It's a little hotwheels-sized RC car that has some nice features, such as a proportional controller, working head lights and tail lights, and the ability to make modications (change motors, gears, tires, wheels, bodies). I bought the Starsky and Hutch starter pack as well as the Muscle Car kit. The Muscle Car kit came with a 1970 Boss Mustang body and a Hemi Cuda body, along with faster gears, faster motors, and more tires and rims. Naturally, I took the Mustang body and installed the fastest motor and the fastest gear, and then let the kitten out so she could chase it.
Hah, at first she was afraid of it, but after a few minutes she began to chase it around. The car went pretty damn fast for such a little thing, too, and at top speed it got to be a bit unstable (hit a slit bump in the floor and bam it's gone), so I changed the motor to the next fastest one. I have wooden floors in a couple areas of my house, so I have a decent amount of room to play with it.
Anyways, just thought I'd say how fun these little things are.
