I have a quick question for fans of Radio Shack Zip Zaps.
Back when the first movie came out Radio Shack made Zip Zaps based on Transformers, they didn't transform but have light up headlights, as well as I\R cars that did transform :KREMZEEK: . They are about Legend class size. I decided to check the batteries on Prime's controller to make sure there was no leakage and discovered the rubber wheels are rotting away :-( .

They are a lot of fun and I would have tons of fun with my old roommate's son who jumped at the chance to play with them, or any of my Transformers. The Zip Zaps have a forward/reverse and turn left and right. The I\R versions only turned when they reversed.

Does anyone know if there are replacement wheels for these? I found nothing on ebay. Appreciate any help.

Zip Zaps are also sold as XMODS, so you may want to search under that name too. Atomic Mods has a full selection of tires, but I don't know which would be the right one. Shame they don't have TINs like real tires, neh? :lol:

Thanks for the link Skyfire77, I'm gonna check it out, although I'm not sure the size of the tire. I may actually have to go into a Radio Shack.
