The SE series adds semi-proportional, two-speed throttle and fully proportional rack-and-pinion steering.ДЇurther customizing options come from the variety of body shells which snap on over the top of the chassis, allowing the ZipZap to take on the appearance of any number of popular cars including the Chevrolet Corvette, Audi TT, Ford GT, Ford Mustang, Hummer H1 and Mercedes-Benz SL. Steering is accomplished via a clever electromagnetic setup which pulls the steering knuckles from one side to the other based on transmitter input.

Neither steering nor throttle are proportional on the base cars and monster trucks, with both functions either full on or full off. Full charge is accomplished in about 40 to 60 seconds with run times averaging five minutes. The vehicle's onboard battery is charged by snapping the entire car onto the top of the transmitter. Five motors and three gear ratios are offered, ranging from the 16,000 rpm stock unit to the high-speed 34,000 rpm 'NX.' Gear ratios are 12:1 'stock,' 9.86:1 'performance' and 8.25:1 'turbo.' Tracking is adjusted via a wheel alignment lever underneath the vehicles themselves. Each partially assembled ZipZap kit includes a preassembled chassis with built-in nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries on which the gears, tires and hubcaps can be changed for better appearance and performance. ZipZaps are unique among toy-style micro R/C vehicles in that they can be customized much like large R/C models. At 1/64 scale, ZipZaps are only slightly larger than popular diecast toy cars such as Hot Wheels and Matchbox. They are referred to as 'micro R/C' due to their diminutive size. ZipZaps are miniature radio controlled cars sold by RadioShack.ДЇirst introduced in September 2002, ZipZaps were an instant success and one of the most popular gifts of the holiday season in North America, with RadioShack stores often selling out of the starter kits.
