      the cheapest “real ” ones you’ll find on ebay (Australia) are going for about $150 plus postage at the moment.

      I got a couple of the rip off ones to test them out. If your expecting the real thing, they you’ll be dissappointed, but then again, I was rather dissapointed with my first real Z.
      You really have to go all out on the upgrades to
      build up a car worthy of racing. The clones can be upgraded just like the real Z’s, and you might consider using one as a base for building up a second car etc, replacing parts one by one.
      The best option is save your money (about $300)
      and then order a complete ready built upgraded top shelf model from Hong Kong. For $300 you will
      be getting the very best of everything.
      I have some phone numbers of shops there if you want them.
