I have a Zig Zag racer 2 and I have had it for 2 years and I use it every summer. We play with it in the pool and I use it for a rescue boat for my FE boats. The only thing I have done is replace the motor because the first one was corroded fromthe water. I replaced it with a 380 motor I had laying around that I pulled out of one of my micro cars that I had upgraded to Brushless. My ZZ2 has never glitched. Mine has also submarined ALOT. The way to keep the water out is to tape the hatch shut. But I have never done this with mine.
