DEERC Brushless 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 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.

I did not expect this RC boat to be this awesome! It is incredibly fast and responsive. It will jump awake and flip over and turn itself back up right and keep going. I am having as much fun playing with it as my son is. It also seems to be very high-quality. I would not recommend using this in a swimming pool because it goes so fast he will run into the sides of the pool. But it is perfect for a pond or lake. It notifies you when it’s starting to run out of batteries, so you have plenty of time to get to the edge before it dies. It comes with a replacement propeller.

This seems to be a great product, but for some reason when I place on high setting now its really slow. When I first got the boat it was working grat low medium and high speed was working great. After about a month the high speed setting stopped working! Do not recomend buying this product. It was just over 100 dollars so I was expecting better quality from manufacturer.

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.

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.

It’s not bad. No chance it does 30mph even with calm water, full battery and the speed knob set to highest. I’m happier now that I cranked the speed knob up but you loose a lot of low end throttle control. It’s just not bad, especially now at $68 the price is getting closer to that $50 mark. I paid 79 and I’m not sure it was worth that, I’m certain it isn’t worth 109. I’m just disappointed bc of the reviews claiming it does over 30mph. Not true. Maybe 20-23.

I originally bought the smaller boat to try out. It was so much fun I bought this bigger / faster boat. What a blast! This thing kicks ass. I cannot believe how fast it is! I can run this until it is almost out of sight and it still responds to the signal. It is also unsinkable. Sometimes it will jump a wave and pierce the water beyond. It is so cool to watch it pop back up and shoot off again. I broke a propeller (totally my fault) I contacted their help desk (on chat) and they sent out a replacement the same day at NO COST! These guys rock. I would and will order from them in the future.
