DEERC 16 inch Fast Brushless RC Boat, 30+mph, Self-righting Remote Control Racing Speed Boat, 2.4Ghz Water Toy for Lakes & Pools Summer Toys Gift for Adults, Kids & Boys

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.

Amazingly fast !!! I torpedoed it in a wake I guess. I was already wondering how I was going to explain this (it was completely submerged that long) when it popped back up and ran good ! Ive purchased three of them.

So much fun in the ocean waves. Self righting works great. Fast and fun. 15 to 20 minutes on battery charge, Rinse well if used in saltwater. Not sure how long it will last, but so far 4 uses in saltwater.

It's a blast, but the stock battery is not fun to put in the boat! It will literally drive you crazy. Ended up having to cut out the plastic pieces on the battery compartment cover. But now we can get 3S Lipo packs in there without much problem. Really fun boat really fast very responsive. If you order it, you will enjoy it.

Very cool and fun. only problem is I ran it twice and it quit? I asked for a replacement and return that one. We’ll have to see how long this one lasts. It started to not respond to controls, but then would activate on its own and spin the proper a little bit. Not great if you’re on the lake, you don’t feel like swimming in.

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.

I saw some reviews that made me question buying but I decided to go for it after seeing videos of people using it. I can say I am blown away by the speed and performance of this boat! It did 30mph plus in a river that had some decent speed. The stability is great and just carves through the water. Run time was about 15 minutes of full throttle. Battery charge was about an hour. It made my weekend trip at the river so much fun. I would recommend getting some extra props though. I hit some tall grass and broke one and luckily the boat came with a spare. Totally worth the purchase and very pleased with it.

Decent little boat so far. Took out twice. Goes fairly fast. Controls decent. Distance fairly good.does not capsize. 2nd battery be nice. 15 min ish run time on the one battery. Does get some water internally in boat. Does not seel real good. Recommend opening it up each use and drying out. Over all fairly happy with it. At this point. Used in lake and ponds. May be little fast for pools. 7/31/22. Humm. Ok therd time out. Remote saying battery low. Used for less then 3 minutes an boat died. Battery. Humm. Put on charger three times and says full charge but when hook up battery it is beeping low battery. 🤔. Used 3 diffent chargers and on new on. Sane thing. Defective? Will see. 8/16/22 they made it right and sent me anouther boat in one week. Problem is it also is doing the same thing. Used it twice and the battery does not charge. The charger stays flashing not fully charge. As soon as you put battery in it beeps battery low🤔. Take boat out and runs only few minutes. Not sure what is up here. See where this goes. Humm. Odd. Never resolved boat problems. Did return an do not want this boat.

Product as described. Lots of fun to steer around. Light weight and goes fast

Helaas na 1x varen al een onderdeel afgebroken, totaal 3x gevaren en al zoveel aan kapot, dat sturen niet meer gaat.

Para el precio que tiene va muy bien corre muy correcta y es muy divertida, no es algo bestial si vienes de gamas mas caras de coches drones etc pues es un gama baja muy bien hecho, es brushles y eso siempre es bueno, el aislamiento es muy bueno que que en alguna ola se me ha metido debajo del agua varios metros y la verdad que no ha entrado ni gota

これは素晴らしいボートです、波をかき分けたではなく水面を飛んでいきます、 電池は約20分で送信機から警報ブザーが鳴るので安心です、 昔エンジンボートやってましたがこれほどのスピードでないです、 スピード調整もありますが、女性子供には早くて無理です、 ブラシレスモーターなのでビックリするほどのスピードが出ます、 DEE RCさんのボートは2台持ってます、高速ボートファンにお勧めします。 you-tubeにも多くの方が動画載せてます。
