Been seeing a few good deals on these lately. Whats your opinion for a good pool boat?

Having owned a Traxaas Blast before, I don't expect much for the money.:)



btw, have no interest in the Reef Racer, etc. Like something more conventional looking.

A good upgrade for a pool might be one of the mini-racers or if you like Traxxas move up to the Villian or the Villian EX they are both fast and faster yet. The cost is not overkill and they are very user friendly because you can go quick in short burst and not hurt the boat because it's so fast it won't slowdown before you wreck it....

Have you owned/ seen/ or heard opinions of the Tower Turbo Vee's? :) Thats all I'm after. :) For less than a bill, I'm interested in another electro for my pool before it freezes over.:D

I have the turbo vee and is just like the hammer, but just a bit smaller and uses all the same electronics.

Don't have experience with the Hammer either. Is it fair for the $'s.?

Yes, they are both great for a low cost boat, but both too big for a regular pool.

Unless your pool is huge, you'd have to stick with a mini.

Thats what I was looking for. Thanks for taking time to reply. Should be a cute little boat.

Again, after owning a Traxaas Blast, I sure don't expect much:)
