  Scored it a couple of days ago, cool….
  
  Here’s some video showing it’s capabilities. She’s still pretty stock, except for a EM38 motor and guitar string antenna :D.

  they actually look very nice, from the pics i’ve seen before i wouldn’t even have thought they look that good, ph2t, can you close the headlights, and where did you get it from?

  Love the backing music for the video. The whole package looks very cool. What other mods are planned?

  Another fanatic joins the elite minority of ZipZap SE owners in Australia, lol.
  Did you get any hop-ups as well? The 3.4 purple motors for those cars rock, faster than a king 4.2 in a ZZ SE. (but only in a ZZ SE, otherwise the 4.2 is quicker)

  how did you get a hold of taht in Australia? (I think that’s where you are, right?). Anyways, from what I’ve heard, the steering isn’t so good. 5 steps to the right and 3 steps to teh left. Can you verify whether it’s true or not? I’m planning to get an SE soon but I’m just wondering about this stuff.

  Wow ph2t, I have to say I am VERY impressed… Your floors really shimmer:shock:.
  
  Good work as always on the vid. Nice touch on using the godfather of soul;) although I am suprised you didn’t use Initial D music.

  You can adjust this to have the same on both side (8 & 8 I think).
  
  I love me se’s they are great fun and now that we have the older retired ZZ stuff here I can pick up more bodies 🙂

  mercblue: the antenna is made from guitar string, simple as. Do a search for “guitar string antenna” in BCG Tech.
  
  barto: the horseshoe is the fwd/rev throttle. pull the trigger towards you in accels fwd. push the trigger away from you and it accels in rev.
  
  mscharged: no the lights don’t close man, they’re stuck up permanently:dead:. a mate over at bitpimps hooked me up 🙂
  
  SMP: there’s great potential for a lot of mods on this car. I want to get some new shells and re-sit the lights properly, lower the shell/chassis (it sits awfully high), etc..
  
  monkeyboy: the steering isn’t that bad, I haven’t “fixed” my steering yet and it’s not that big a deal. but to be correct, yes this “twitch” does exist.
  
  Prez: thanks man, but screw that crappy cartoon music, unless it’s Warner Bros of course!:approve:

  not really, you just learn that you don’t need to go all the way fwd or revt anymore but you can be more selective. What would help is a longer handle though, for sure. Bloody big hands…..

  it handles really well bit of a tank in steerin on my tight and twisty track but with better gears/motors and hopefully some fets it will be mega sweeeeet!
