I have the zzr myself. I love it more than my Aqua Jet nitro boat (which is for sell if you know anyone...I've ran it twice). I don't have an answer to your queston but I was wondering if you've done any up grading on the motor? I'm looking at putting a Graupner Speed 400 6V in it. You have any suggestions?

Oh....I misundestood. yeah...I'm fixen to purchase a 6V speed 400 motor and slap in this bad boy. I was looking at some modified motors that go in the RS4 cars..I wonder if they would push this puppy any faster. Here's one I'm looking at http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAYU7&P=7 . I can't find any dimensions or specs on it. see if you can find something and let me know. :)

I just got a zig zag for my wife.She is tired of watching me have all the fun with my miss bud.Sounds like it is a good boat.The only problem is all the lakes have 30 inches of ice on them.Cant wait till sring.
