This would be OK for the local pond with the kids. would not expect too much longevity. For something to play around with, it is worthwhile the price. (Posted on 5/13/11)

This boat is decent. It performs great and is reletivly fast but the only problem is that the flex shaft system that the fail to mention is a poor design. about every two runs the flex shafts come out and they are a pain to put them back in if you can even salvage them. The other problem with the boat is the speed. While it goes about 12 miles an hour if you want it to go any faster you will have to put two escs, two bigger motors and a new reciever. That would be pretty cosly so if your hooked on a boat like this go with the Pro Boat mini-C. It goes the same speed and is going to be easy to upgrade. (Posted on 3/18/11)
