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.

purchased this one year and had been using it every weekend constantly. even got spare battery so i can get it used for at least 45 mins at a stretch. i have large retention pond in the back and this rips the pond up and down in secs. last weekend boat stopped working and i couldnt figure out what happened. wrote to cheerwing not expecting a response as my purchase was year old. they responded promptly and informed me it was motor worn out. and they send a replacement free of cost. i replaced the motor and it is back working as new. i love this little charm of boat, it is so easy to use and enjoy. my 2 yr daughter learned to drive this. i let her use it when i am around. i even tried fishing with it.

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.

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!!!

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

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!!!

This was a great boat when I ran it, unfortunately the second time I went to use it it did not work at all. Won’t turn on when in the water even in full battery power. Very unfortunate

Its a pretty nice boat, and it does work ok, but its a bit too heavy and sits too low in the water, and its a bit too nose heavy. I am going to attempt to move the speed controller and RX to the rear of the boat and possibly move the battery pack back 1/2" to remedy this issue. but the molded plastic is not easy to modify.
