Remote Control Boats for 8-12, 15+ MPH Fast RC Boat with LED Lights, 2.4G RC Electric Speed Boats Pool and Lakes Toys for Kids

The first unit I received had a bad remote control unit. The power switch wouldn't work properly - you had to jiggle it just right into position to get it to stay on. I immediately initiated a return and received a fully working unit within just a few days.The second unit worked flawlessly. It does require 4 x AA batteries for the remote which are not included. But the rechargeable battery for the boat is provided as is a USB charging cable. It takes over an hour - maybe closer to two - to charge the battery.It took me a minute or two to figure out how to insert the boat battery. You have to pinch the canopy of the boat and pull and it comes free. Not sure how water tight it seals, but normally it's above water and if the boat is upside down then the air pressure should really keep the water out.It comes with two replacement propellers and the nuts that secure them on the shaft as well as a small wrench used to remove the nuts.One neat feature (that is also a drawback) is that the boat ONLY turns on when it's in the water. There's no power switch, just a water sensor. On the one hand, this is nice because you never have to worry about leaving it on accidentally. On the other hand, if the boat flips you will have to go into the water to retrieve it. There is a "flip" feature but it isn't going to work under that circumstance because the power to the boat shuts off despite the instructions claiming that this feature will right the boat. I tried the flip feature in my bathtub with the boat upside down and nothing happened.I never got to try the "flip" feature during normal running because it's too cold outside and the water is too cold. If I tried to flip it and it landed upside down I'd have to go out into the lake to retrieve it. I'll have more fun with it next summer when it's warm enough for me to swim out to it if needed.I should mention that I've found the best way to start the boat is to place it in the water with one hand while still holding onto it. Once the boat lights up, slide the power switch of the remote control to "on" until the red and green led lights on the remote are both solid on. The reason for this is because I've had at least one instance where I placed it in the water and the propellers immediately started turning and the boat took off from me. The remote control was already on but I wasn't pressing any of the controls so I don't know why it did this. After a few seconds, the boat stopped and then everything worked fine. To be on the safe side, I now place it in the water and hold onto it until I know the remote is on and properly paired.The lights are kind of cool in darker settings but are mostly just informative during full daylight, so you know it's on and so it's easier to see which way it's oriented.Overall, it's a ton of fun and I've yet to run out the battery during my 15 minute test runs. It's supposed to have an alarm for both low battery and when the boat is getting out of signal range. I haven't experienced either alarm yet but I don't run it too long or too far (because I'm worried about having to retrieve it.)

This thing rips throw the water. I only have access to a 30ft by 20ft pool and this thing goes! Very fun to watch the lights at nice look great while coasting trough the water.I personally enjoyed having used it in a enclosed water source it was fun easy to drive and out the box you charge the battery and your in for a good time.I would recommend this to anyone who would like a entry level rc boat or would like to gift it.

Although our lakes are currently frozen over, these boats will be a ton of fun come this summer. We have tested them out in a small pool and our bath tub. The boats are very fast, colorful lights, and the battery life is ok. We have three of these boats and one battery fluctuates while the other two batteries are doing ok for length of play time. The control/direction change seems to have a little lag in it, which could be an issue when it comes to being further away and avoiding objects in the water.

This product will not be used to summer. It had a trial run in the tub. All went well. Nephew liked it

This is a nice product and works as it should. Just a little disappointed it doesn't go as fast as we expected. My 10 year has another RC boat that goes much faster and enjoys more, might be ok for younger child that is just learning remote control.

The media could not be loaded.

I ordered this remote control boat for my granddaughter for Christmas so she could play with it in our pool. After only 1 use, the boat would not respond to the remote control! We have tried everything we know to try to fix it but the motor is dead. What a waste!!

The media could not be loaded.  The boat was easy to setup. Charged the battery and the remote / boat worked right away. However, the 15km/h speed is not there. I did a quick check with a stopwatch and it’s not even hitting 5 km/h. Looks show on the water.

Propellor fell off after 1 use. Replaced the propellor and now the shaft fails to spin, the boat only travels in a circle. I ordered 3 and the other 2 seem fine so far
