Hi!
How big is your pool?
There is two of my scratch pool boats with carbon/fiberglass hulls :
1) yellow - 14" mini-ECO with Robbe Power 400 E-Motor and small accus (I used 7 cells 2100 Ni-MH)
2) blue (more faster but requires larger place) - 20" "wings" ECO with 500 size E-Motors and 7 Sub-C cells.

the zig zag racers are supposed to be the ultimate pool toy.

i have a villai nexx, and its quite boring in pools becasue of its speed,

if you havea big pool, get a traxxas blast, they work good in pools, and also do about 15mph.

Don't they have anything small that's more scale than those zig zags? They look like shoes.

I have heard reef racers are better than zig zags. higher quality. There is supposed to be a reef racer 2 coming out in february and it's going to have a better battery and field charger

I run a reef racer in the 24 ft round pool, It is a little too big for this pool in my opinion.

I have the Zig Zag 2 and run it in the pool every now and then works very good. You can beat it up and it just comes back for more. the reef racer is a lttle better but for the price I don't hink you can beat the zig zag 2.
