Go Green, Go Electric

Going “Green” and “Eco Cars” are definatley the buzz words at the moment. Quieter and cleaner than fuel powered cars, electric is a choice worth looking at if these features tick your boxes.

Here at Modelzone we offer a wide selection of Electric Powered vehicles from Classic American Muscle cars to mud stomping off road cars and trucks. Whatever your budget, and what ever your driving style, our huge selection is sure to meet your needs.

Two hot picks worth a closer look are the Maisto VW Samba bus with MP3 Features and the Tamiya “Lunchbox” Off road truck, supplied with radio equipment and battery. 

With the price of fuel on the rise:), theres never been a better time to go Green and go Electric.
