ZipZaps

ZipZaps are miniature radio-controlled cars that were sold by RadioShack, later marketed under the brand name XMODS Micro RC.

First introduced in September 2002, ZipZaps were an instant success and one of the most popular gifts of the holiday season in North America,[2][3] with RadioShack stores often selling out of the starter kits.

Each partially assembled ZipZaps kit included a pre-assembled chassis with built-in nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries on which the gears, tires and hubcaps could be changed for better appearance and performance.

In addition to selling the Initial D manga, RadioShack also sold bodies for the SE chassis of the AE86 Trueno and the AE85 Levin from the series in a two-pack (which also included a few performance gears and motors) for the holiday season in 2002.

Motion picture vehicles were represented by the Ford Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch and the tuned imports from 2 Fast 2 Furious.

The SE series and monster trucks featured selectable frequencies within the 27 MHz band for up to six racers along with working headlights and taillights.
