37" Speed X-Cyclone 1/16 RC Racing Boat R/C Radio Remote Controlled NQD Craft

Comment: I bought this boat to replace another one that had broken. It worked fine, however it did not come close to reaching 30 miles an hour, and the battery lasted about 10 to 15 minutes under normal operating conditions. If you are going to buy this boat, I reccomend having the battery re-built at a battery store. I had them rebuild it using NiMh cells and afterwards, the boat ran for about 30 minutes instead of 10. (however, I beleive this voids the warranty)
After about a month, one of the motors started working intermediatly, and now one motor works and the other one is busted, so the boat just goes in circles. After all the work I have put in to this thing, I'm starting to realize I should have bought something nicer. I'm either going to replace the motor, or give it a viking funeral in my swimming pool.

Comment: My son wanted a rc boat that was fast and could go 30mph+. I rand the boat on calm water close to the shore and with charged batteries. It barely went 10mph. My son is very disappointed, but he does like the durability and looks of it. It can handle ruff water with ease. I may see if there is a way to upgrade the engines. I would be happy if I could get it close to 20mph.
