I built one last winter. The kit is very easy to put togeather. Mine is very stable and corners better than any nitro boat I have ever raced. They are very compedative because of the motor restriction rules that IMPBA uses. I have never had mine on radar, but a friend from TN says his will run 59MPH in the streights with a stock 260 Z-Motor set up for heat raceing. After competeing with it in a few races this year, I would say that my ZIPP is now my favorite boat.

Build one and you won't be disapointed

these are without a doubt worth every penny of the money they cost.they are three of these in our club and they all perform very equally about

the same give of take a mile per hr.or two. my advice,buy one.

After 7 years away from the hobby, other than running the old boats, I have build a Zipp's Rockett kit and painted it into a 62 Notre Dame lookalike for sport running, the kit was shiped from States to the other side of the globe in Asia, it is really a joy to build and it runs okay.

The fastest wood thunderboat at the NAMBA Nationals was the Blazer Marine boat. The Zipkit boats need to be modified slightly to conform with the NAMBA rules.
