For the price it's definitely the fastest sub $200 boat. Shit 30 day warranty, but I've already ran 30 batteries through it and haven't broken a thing. Just be AWARE NO SELF RIGHTING feature and it did flip over quite a few times. Where either you wait on the wid or get into a boat and get it.

After unboxing the product, part of the stand was missing. The boat it fast, if flipped upside down twice and I was not able to right it. I had to go out and recover it. Also you cannot purchase the 1600ma original replacement battery, and the prop and rudder replacement parts are not available, Tech support with this company is great! Fast response and they know what their doing!

This was a great boat for my 9 year old. The boat was easy to use and workin as described. It would be nice to have working trim tabs but run well with the fixed tabs. It would be nice to have a larger battery compartment to run a 3s 2200 for longer run times.

This is the best you can do for the money, it’s super fast and the auto flip is pretty cool too! This is my second boat from Motion RC, very affordable and fun!

This is a great little fun fast boat, but replacement props are unavailable, and appear to be non standard. I need an upgrade path so I can put a metal prop on this thing.

Boat flies for a 100$ boat!!! But we need spare parts!!! If you get one pull the prop shaft and grease it, it comes dry and after only 2 batteries it wore the shaft and bushing pretty bad. But still a great boat for the money!

Boat is so much fun for a grab and go! No recovery needed if you flip, the self righting works good once you figure out the technique. I set the trim tabs a little lower and it runs so much better. 2 small complaints. One is no rates for steering, it will turn so hard that it shoots itself underwater and the steering is very touchy. 2nd is the props break very easily, I've went through all of them in 3 batteries and I'm not hitting anything.
