this is nearly hobby grade in detail needs at mimimum a 3000 ma nmhi battery. gold tamiya connectors or deans or gold pins connectors for battery would be higly recommended. drill 1/8 hole to drain water under the small deck protrusion center of stern to extract water quickly. install foam floation in front of boat balances the hull out nicely.Also recommend adding trim tabs . Decals arevery good but some really are toy like in appearance . Pealed those off with WD 40 and sharp knife Need a way to lube the drive shafts before and after each run. Suggest lube tube soldered on and clear drilled about 1 inch from motor end of drive shaft. really runs well for such a large boat with toy grade motors. Should really fly with brushless conversion. :)

Got this as a birthday present for a kid. It is huge! Way more substantial and hardy than I thought. Battery only lasts 15 min but I have a quick charge power station from radio shack that is fits into so we can charge it in 15 min instead of the 6 hours it say it takes. It rips in the water. Totally worth $50.

This review is from: PX-16 Offshore Racing RC Boat (Toy)
The first boat was defective with a misalligned prop shaft. The second boat arrived in a sealed Amazon box, but the factory box was open and the boat was used (I have pictures). The rudder was bent from improper packing, scuff marks all over product, grease from the motors on the inside of the boat and one motor inoperable. The third boat was dead out of the box. I am very disappointed that I have gone through this three times. I helped my ten year old son purchase this with his own money and did not have super high expectations based on the price point. I did expect working merchandise. I suggest taking the product off the website.
