DEERCBrushless Remote Control Boat, 30+ mph Self-Righting RC Boat Racing for Pool & Lake, Full Proportional 2.4Ghz Fast Summer Water Toy with LED Light for Adults & Kids

Out of the box, you simply charge the battery and this DEERC Boat is ready to go. I have purchased two, one for my wife and one for myself. I have had mine a little longer and I let her try it, she was hooked.... so was I, for the second boat.This DEERC 'Fashion' Boat is fast and it handled the rough lake waves like a champ. No struggle, no bogging down, it simply just went. The boat is easily controlled though I only had about a 125-150 ft. distance before I was out of range at the lake.The only downside I have really found is that the battery is more of a specialized battery so you are limited on choices for backup batteries, though the DEERC one works well and lasts 15-20 minutes. I have several types of smaller 3S batteries from my cars that I thought would easily fit the boat, but all are a fraction too big. That fraction will not allow the top to close for battery compartment and it would net be sealed to keep out water. The two tier setup to get to the battery is simple to remove and put back together, as they use swing latches and once all is aligned properly, it easily attaches. Make sure not to force it and if you find yourself forcing the latches, something is misaligned. The latches and double tier system do a great job to keep water out as the inside stays totally dry. I see some complaining of the charger included. It is basic and somewhat slow to charge, but it does the job and does it safely. I admit I use one of my car chargers for quicker charge times, but the included charger works and is reliable. Just need more patience.Our RC experience includes having several RC cars, that are 1/8, 1/14 and 1/16 scale and so we are familiar with the RC world, but new to the RC boats. Each are fun in their own ways.For people just starting into RC boats, this DEERC Fashion Boat is the way to go. It handles very well,rights itself upright if it goes upside down or even fully submerged it will pop back up without you having to do anything. I have had mine upside down many times and each time, it turns back over and I'm on my way.Speed wise, I'm unsure of the 30mph, but I feel it comes quite close. I have no accurate way to measure, but it is plenty fast to scoot on the water and creates a nice spray. Very happy with speed though.The boat seems well made, but you need to be careful on the water if more than one boat is also moving. My wife is still learning to drive it (cars too) but unlike the RC cars, if you crash, you may not be able to repair it. She had her boat in the water for maybe 10 minutes (not even a full battery) and cut in front of my boat and we hit. Her boat was damaged badly with a good sized hole.I got a hold of DEERC to see if I can get parts for her boat to fix it. They got back within 24 hours and I explained what happened and shared pictures and after a few emails back and forth, they resolved the issue quickly. They are replacing the boat, even though it is not a manufacturing issue, but was human caused. Needless to say, we are very happy, shocked and surprised.DEERC Boats are great for beginners and advanced users, you can control them easily with practice, they are fast, pretty durable and an overall great boat. Add to it, awesome customer service and you can't go wrong. Highly recommend them.

This little RC boat is fun to operate, it is fast enough to send a wake splashing up on your feet while you are standing on the edge of the lake, but I don't think it goes even close to 30 mph. It looks like it may reach around 15-20 mph, and that is fast enough for this size boat, if it were any faster it would be uncontrollable in any kind of chop. The battery lasts about 20 minutes running at full power, but is a little difficult to install. Another battery would have been a welcome addition. The remote allows you to turn down the power to make it more suitable for younger kids. My 4yo grandson finds it easy to drive when at less than 50% power, but is quickly adapting to faster speeds. This is a great little starter boat, but would need to be bigger and more powerful to race with hobbyists.

This is a great RC boat, much better than what I thought it could do for the price point. Fast and waterproof. The bigger the waves, the better! Can get big air jumping waves and exciting when it occasionally submerges- always resurfacing. The self-righting design is key. Looks like a fish cutting through surf. Attracts a lot of attention at beach. Responsive steering, good battery life (20 mins). Also enjoyable to operate at night as LED lights are extremely visible.

The media could not be loaded. All in all pretty good. Had trouble initially pairing it, but that seem to resolve itself and it pairs easily now. Speed is quite fast! Luckily, you can dial it down when you first start to avoid mishaps :-) I don’t know if it’s just this boat or all of them but left-hand turn works sometimes sometimes it doesn’t. You can imagine that this is a problem! It always seems to turn right real well and sometimes left real well but sometimes left not at all. I think it’s probably a cheap steering servo or defective or both. if you look at the inner workings, it’s pretty high-tech engineering. once I figure out the steering servo I’ll be completely happy, until then I give it four stars.

The media could not be loaded. My son recently got into the rc car scenes however not having a big yard this didn’t make sense to get one, I found this gem on Amazon and read the reviews and was skeptical at first as people complained about the speed. I can honestly say this thing is super fun! Fast, at night the lights are great! The controls are easy to use! (My son is 5) the range is awesome, the only downside is the battery lasts maybe 20/30 mins but just buy a second battery to keep the fun going!

The media could not be loaded. This is a great RC boat for all ages it goes very fast and I drove it on full charge for 30 mins and the remote started to beep when it needed to be charged. The only thing is that it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge fully but I don’t care it’s worth the wait. It goes way fast then I thought and the quality is great. It is very easy to use. It is way worth your money. It is very fun and looks very cool. You can change the speed on it too. I recommend that you buy this.

This boat is very fast. It has lights which are nice. It runs very smoothly, handles the waves just fine, and is a delight to own and operate.I have performed maintenance on the drive shaft and that was not at all difficult.
