5.0 out of 5 stars Alot Of Fun For All Ages & Awesome Customer Service
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is great!
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable fun
The media could not be loaded. I normally don’t write reviews, but I’ll make an exception here.I’m in my mid 50’s and used to run high end R/C boats years ago. I wanted something small and affordable, as there is a small retention area at work that only fills occasionally. This fit the bill perfectly. The retention area is only about 40’ X 120’, so a larger boat would be too confined.I ordered one, and was so pleasantly surprised I ordered two more. Let’s face it, fun is best shared with friends. I will confirm this little guy will run 30+ as advertised. The retention area gets small fast, so don’t expect to run it at full speed setting in an average household pool. However, the controller allows for a much slower setting.I would only have one suggestion, and that would be availability in several different colors. As you can see by the photo, I over came that with a little paint work. I have zero regrets on the purchase overall. Silly fun, at an affordable price compared to upper end R/C.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great but not enough battery time
Great when new. Battery doesn’t last long for full, fast, fun speed that the boat can do! Oh it goes fast when new! Lots if fun on the lake! In simple terms the boat is great but battery sucks.
1.0 out of 5 stars Broke after 1st use
Purchased end of May. Boat broke after using one time in June. Tried using in September, it wouldn’t charge. Reached out to the company - they sent a new charger thinking that was the issue. It wasn’t. Informed them it wasn’t the issue - asked them to send a new battery. Suddenly, product was out of warranty (probably because I waited for an overseas shipment of the charger) and I was expected to PURCHASE the battery. Horrible customer service!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty fast, great control
The battery life seems to last longer than as posted. The boat isn’t too small so it’s easy to see from a distance. Very easy to use the controls and performs amazing. Customer service also answers questions with great response time
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun fun fun
The truck exceeded my expectations. It's fast, strong, good range. I use it mainly on a beach along the Potomac River. I only wish it was waterproof. The only thing I wish was better was being able to find S35 high speed batteries for the truck. The ones Bolo bundles with the truck don't fit
5.0 out of 5 stars awesome boat
So love this boat. bought it to have fun with my nephew on a family vac and ended up giving it to him and bought a second boat for myself. Side note the first boats motor came lose from its press fit...emailed customer service and after sending a short video, recieved a new motor. Great little boat that's hours of entertainment and it's fast.
