Team Demo: ZipZap Style!

[@HAYUPAKARINGID]

This is Super Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting :-) You guys are Great looks like ya'll havin' FUN!

[@CamrosMedia]

The tinfoil car bodies is a genius idea! Might do that to a couple larger r/c's for crashes

[@CarCrashesTime2]

You make it look easy. Good job!

[@tykramer79]

Looks great!! A box of beer and good friends be a good night!

[@hogansgoat100]

Very cool!!!! Good job on the original flag stand BTW!

[@akkadianrecords3709]

So long ago and I’m just seeing this it’s so cool.

[@Krissy_Bunnie]

This is freaking awesome

[@easyontheeyes78]

That is sooooo cool and looks like a lot of fin

[@MidwestMonsters]

A combination of the battery crapping out, stuck in a corner, flipped over and, yes, the foil wadding up in the gears or tires.

[@riverdealer]

COOL...the only thing missing was the crack in the wall by the starter/scoring stand

[@J1978watt]

Looks like a good drinking game

[@889bball]

Looks like you had a lot of fun :) Nice video

[@Killurally]

This would be so fun!

[@StanixGarage]

F-N-A nice piece

[@stifoam]

So awesome!!! Good thing I work at toys r us cause I've seen off brand mini RCs there.

[@MidwestMonsters]

@hubarlow the foil is colored with markers and testors airbrush paint. The shells are just foil pressed onto the car bodies. Take off the foil and cut out the wheel wheels. Poke a hole for the antenna and that's pretty much it.

[@76shogun1]

Dam,this shit is bringing out the geek in me.good stuff

[@kevinnelson66]

Same here.

[@Jon_Izzy45]

Epic! im going to do this now!

[@GreatBirdOfHope]

Kool. Thanks.

[@jammytimmy]

nice would like to see more of these vids :)

[@MyNameIsAwes0me]

Get a single puncher hole punch for the wheels. I started out doing 1;24 scale over 20 years ago with wire controls. nice work.

[@squidiskool]

Now I want a Zipzap lol

[@ColeAviation]

Man that was AWESOME!!!! Where can I get battery's at for mine? The ones in the cars are like 10 years old. Thanks!

[@k73mrviking]

very cool 5/5

[@MidwestMonsters]

Just press/fold/mold foil over the car. They let them sit for several days and keep fine tuning it to get creases out. Then cut the wheel areas out with scissors and race!

[@Militarygamers03]

wher did you get all of the cars from coz im going to make some banger racing car with them?

[@MidwestMonsters]

@ChoolGuys I'm honestly not sure if ZipZap cars are even manufactured any longer. They were available in any toy store for around $10 each.

[@MidwestMonsters]

I don't recall for sure, but I know we didn't have any special equipment. All 6 were on different channels. So maybe ZipZaps actually sold upwards of 6 frequencies?

[@madman725]

lol, love the music

[@Ruckus8456]

i miss that speedway

[@7StarsFromTheMoOn]

Awwwwesomenesss

[@globbymobby]

EPIC

[@HeavyHERO93]

[@Constantine1222]

[@GreatBirdOfHope]

HOW DO YOU SHAPE THE BODIES?!

[@Wbfuhn]

ever try the bigger remote control cars? Be pretty sick to see that.

[@jammytimmy]

what type of foil do you use for the shells

[@Optimore]

*car clicks into wall* WHOOAAAA HA HA!!!

[@MidwestMonsters]

@cro101graff We didn't get a chance to record any races during the last off season. Maybe this coming Fall we'll have some more races. Right now, the teams are busy building and racing the real cars. Thanks!

[@hubarlow]

can u make a video on how to make and put on the car shells

[@MidwestMonsters]

@dajara521 These zip zaps were on 6 different frequencies and came stock that way. Very limited interference with all cars running.

[@ItsMrPsycho]

How do the cars actually stop working does the body just tuck under wheels or what

[@MidwestMonsters]

No idea, sorry. The video is over 2 years old. The cars haven't been used nearly at all since that night.

[@MidwestMonsters]

Don't think they're sold new any longer. Best bet is to check eBay.

[@MidwestMonsters]

aluminum foil, airbrush paint, and sharpies.

[@derbyboy18]

hey how do u make the shells is it from match box cars or hot wheels

[@kuuba13]

Nice ;)

[@MidwestMonsters]

Sorry, not sure how the guys did it. I just recorded it lol. I seem to remember some Testors jars around and airbrush guns.

[@MidwestMonsters]

@FlyingRyan46 I'll try to convince the guys to race again this winter. This video is from almost 2 years ago. If we do it, you'll see it!

[@Therealone199]

[@Snowtrails11]

I wish mine still worked, they don't hold a charge anymore unfortunately :(

[@jammytimmy]

@MidwestMonsters ok thank you :)

[@Wbfuhn]

What if you made bigger models? It would be nice to see bigger models race. more layers of aluminum foil would be needed though.

[@MidwestMonsters]

Reynolds wrap

[@TheJesseman222]

[@crashkid3000]

O Fortuna by Carl Orff

[@gerardfreeman5697]

where did you buy those small rc cars

[@kevinnelson66]

Those are Zip Zaps, originally sold at Radio Shack. The line has since been discontinued, but they show up on ebay periodically.

[@MidwestMonsters]

@acbroo02 ZipZaps might till be sold at Radio Shack stores otherwise try eBay.

[@tristenenn]

dislikers of this = people who've grown old and sad!

[@PowerRocket100]

8000th viewer..

[@MidwestMonsters]

They were bought new several years ago. Don't believe they're produced anymore. Check eBay.

[@a5kylar]

rofl every time i buy a little rc car like that it either doesnt work out of the box or it takes 2-3 charges and the battery wont hold a charge

[@narkydart]

i would do it

[@nc-rr5xk]

[@GodWeenSatan]

[@MidwestMonsters]

@derbyboy18 Just tin foil pressed over the body of standard 1/64th scale Hotwheels and Matchbox cars. Peel off the foil, cut out the wheel-wells and go racing!

[@SniperTurtle0]

[@ChinoV1]

[@HappyWheelFan2013]

[@kevinnelson66]

Radio Shack discontinued the Zip Zap line around 2008-09. They were replaced by the slightly larger Xmods which have also been discontinued, IIRC. God, I miss Radio Shack.
