Made ya look :lol:

It is fiberglass with real wood on top. I have read some reviews that say to add a little extra varnish to protect potential QC problems with the wood. This is my first RC powerboat. I have had planes, helis (crashed and destroyed :shock: ) and still have an RC sailboat.

We can have an r/c race at G6. I'll have the R/C Zip done by then.

I only have a 550 electric motor. I'm sure you are probably going full nitro on that Zip.
