There is a new Yahoo Group for ZipZaps users and hackers!

I created a quick and dirty Motor / Gear Ratio Chart - WOW! to show just how dramatic the NOS/Red Gear combination is over the stock Green/Blue.

"The Fast and the Furious™" Street Tuner Upgrade Kit - Got it!  I was wondering how significant the new motor and gear combinations would be.  All I have to say is, AMAZING (and really not fair).  Not only did the car go significantly faster (I'll back up and do some real-world timing soon), but with the new "slick" tires and the suspension pack it actually cornered better than the slower version.  I figured that speed would increase the turning radius, but with the other mods it was actually an improvement.  The modified car would run circles around any non-modified car without much skill at all.

I will have to see how significant the yellow "NOS" nitro engine is over the red "High Performance" engine.  I also noticed a little slip of paper in with the new "trading cards" that said that for best performance you should match the transfer gear color with the gear color on the axle - this makes sense to me, but I had not seen it anywhere else before.
