Default upgrade a zig zag

anyone point me to a bigger or better prop for my zig zag 2 boat? also a 8.4v battery that will fit in stock location?

has anyone put a different motor into one of these little boats? i have a duratrax vr3 motor laying around, can that fit?

i took mine to the lake for the 1st time. not bad. the stock battery(got it used) didnt last long. maybe 5 minutes. the speed was ok, but id like more. any suggestion?

ok, aparently the vr3 motor is too much for the circut board. toward the end of the 1st battery pack the power slowed and the throttle stuck on. when i pulled the boat out it had that distictive burnt electronics smell. time for some 1/10 scale parts
