RC Boat

I bought this boat to enjoy my break at work. it has been one of the best things ive bought on amazon. This boat rips so hard. The boat comes with a battery for the boat, usb charger, controller,boat stand and an extra propeller. You need 4 AA batterys and something to plug your usb into for power. The boat has two probes to let it know its in water, once in water turn the controller on and it will self pair. for being a brushed motor the boat goes pretty fast. Range is pretty far, i have not gone outta range but feel its more than adequate. I get about 8 minutes of 80-100% throttle then the controller beeps saying its low on power and ill push it for maybe another minute. The boat also has a self righting feature in case you flip it over. I couldn't flip the boat with just going fast and turning sharp. I accidentally hit a pier and the boat flipped. You'll need to hit reverse then forward and the motor creates enough torque to actually "rock" the boat back over. super nice feature. The only negative thing i could say about the boat is that it lacks support. Remember this is a toy grade boat, not hobby grade. You really cant upgrade the parts. There is no real aftermarket support but im sure someone could DIY if you had the skills. That being said, I contacted the seller and manufacture about additional batteries and received no response. I hope nothing breaks on the boat because i wouldn't know where to get a spare whatever. The boat is a really cool toy or a great entry level into the hobby. you cant go wrong with this boat, its great features and low cost make it a good buy.

Great little boat. Very well built. Takes awhile to charge (couple hours I think), but worth the wait. I got about 12-15 min of go time, but it prolly depends on how smooth the water is, and how hard the boat has to work through waves. I love it. My 6 year old controlled it just fine, and we both are really enjoying it. It's very speedy, and cuts through the water like a knife and accelerates like a bullet. Completely ok to submerge it and blast up out of the water. It's very waterproof. I might buy another one so we can race them. Wish they came with 2 batteries, but I am researching where to get a couple more. I HIGHLY recommend this boat!!!

As a adult hobby RC boat, this is a very fast boat with a good a runtime. So far it’s held up well. The hull is sealed well and did not leak even in waves or flipping it over. The only issue is I did occasionally flip it over in moderate waves (6-8inches). I would not say it’s all the boat’s fault, I was able to drive less aggressively (avoid sharp fast turns) without flipping or in calmer water. Overall happy with purchase and do recommend it for a low cost fast RC boat.

Do u want to be the favorite uncle or best dad in the world. If you buy this for your kid or nephew or just as a present for a birthday party. This is what you need super fast and handles like a Dream on the water. Do u have a hyper dog u tag to the lake with you. This is perfect to keep them busy running back and fourth in the water keeping them busy and making them burn some of that stored up energy!!!

Fun little RC boats but they aren't too small. Wanted boats thay can withstand a few waves in the lake. Battery life is OK at about 15 to 20 minutes. Buying replacement batteries for more time on the water. As of 1/2022 the connectors are mini-Tamaya. An earlier review showed replacement batteries I bought but do not work with these boats. These new ones should because they changed the battery connectors. One of the boats takes a minute to get up to speed as I think water has to be flowing around the motor to cool it. The other one starts off fast quicker. Overall, a good value

The boat was working great like always I have used it around eight times now on the water and the last time I used it I took it out and it was driving around fine then I noticed it started to slow down and the low power warning started beeping and then the boat stopped working and then I noticed smoke coming from the boat about 5 minutes later while I was trying to throw a fishing line out to retrieve it in the middle of the pond when I got it to sure I opened it up and seen that the battery had swelled up catching fire or something like that it got really hot it looks like and it's damaged inside and junk the battery is still smoking when I opened it up

Bought for my son during the quarantine for entertainment purposes to race the boat I previously had bought from another retailer. He loved the look of this boat and it is a great boat for the money as soon as it hits the water..for the first 2.5 minutes before it starts beeping low battery! However, the larger battery in this boat hasn't lasted more than 3 minutes of run time after properly charging taking the fun out of the reason we bought it to race my other boat that came with TWO smaller batteries that each last 8-10 minutes. Go to search for a 2nd battery and the link says no longer available. Would not buy if the battery issues isn't resolved.

Upon purchasing this product for my grandson, we took the boat out and ran it on our neighborhood lake. It performed better than advertised. Very fast with excellent handling ability. No water leakage in the engine compartment unlike some other boats we have purchased in the past. Unfortunately, soon after purchase, we experienced an issue with the charging unit. We contacted the company and had a wonderful customer service experience with these folks. Excellent communication and follow through. We appreciate them making things right so we can now enjoy taking the boat out and having lots of fun with it. Thanks Cheerwing
