I know this is weird, but does anyone on here happen to have any of the Zipzaps from RadioShack, preferably the SE version, but the original versions will work too.

Looking to buy a bunch of these, so if anyone has one, I'd be glad to buy them from you. :)

If you're wondering why I need them, I'm making a "carnival" type game thing and I thought a little race track with the cars would be really fun.

Thanks,
Ryan

EDIT: Someone asked me what they were, they're those really tiny radio control cars...

You would pretty much have to use the SE version, because the originals only come in 2 frequencies, 27 MHz and 49 MHz. The SE's have a switch on the controller for 6 different channels, but I believe they're too close together to run them all simultaneously, so I think 3 would be your max.

Yup, I know about the different frequencies they come in, but I figured if I got a 49Mhz regular, 27mhz regular, and a few SE's, they would all work together pretty good. I've heard of people using 6 at the same time, and at the local R/C track where I race 1/10th scale electric buggies, we're mostly all on the 6 frequencies the ZipZaps come in and they work fine with no interference, so basically in theory, 27mhz 1-6 should all work fine.

dsharits - do you have any for sale? :D

Well that makes sense, and it sounds like a great plan.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have any for sale, although I do have an original and an SE along with numerous bodies and all of the tire kits, the motor kits, the gears etc. I really like using them when there's no room for full size RC's and they're fun to take on trips and stuff. I wish you all the best in your search! :)

Just curious, they don't seem too expensive, so why not just get them from the store (http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kw=zipzap&kwCatId=&fbc=1&f=PAD%2FProduct+Type%2FCar&fbn=Type%2FCar)?
