The media could not be loaded. I'm thoroughly impressed with this boat. It said age 14+ on the box, so to begin with I did all the controlling and the boys (6 and 9) watched. However in no time I could tell it was incredibly easy to operate so I handed off to the 9 year old and he does great with it. My 6 year old did ok too, but I would probably recommend age 7 or 8+. This boat has lots of nice features.First the remote. There are 2 speed control settings. The fast speed isn't too bad. I'd say if you're trying to use it in a pool, you'd want the slow speed. We use it in a lake, so the fast speed is no problem at all. You can trim the boat on the remote if it's tracking to the left or right, which is great, but we actually don't find the need to do it much because it's pretty straight right out of the box and doesn't seem to get knocked out of alignment very easily.Sometimes it can pick up some moss if it's close to the surface, but we've always been fortunate that it just kind of falls off when you get it back near the shore. it hasn't wrapped up in the prop yet. Not to worry though, the boat did come with one extra prop in the event of disaster.Battery life is very good. Probably about 20 minutes for each battery. It comes with 2, which is something I appreciate about a couple other DEERC R/C products I've gotten; they really seem to have realistic play time in mind when designing products. There's an audible beep that is very easy to hear so there's no question when it's time to maneuver back to shore. They don't take terribly long to charge either, maybe a couple hours.The self-righting feature is phenomenal. We don't use it much, because the boat really is pretty stable, but when it DOES capsize, the self-righting mechanism automatically does its thing and the boat is back upright within a split second. There must be sensors somewhere that tell it to go. On sensors...NOTE - There is a sensor on the bottom of the boat that must be wet in order for the boat to work. SO if you take it out of the box and put the battery in and try to test when it's dry to make sure it's working, it won't. Just put it in water and it'll pair/work just fine!I'm not sure what more to say. My son loves it, I'll even use it for myself. It's a great toy especially for a lake or small pond. Highly recommend! DEERC made another good one with this.

Took this to the lake and the kids loved it! Very fast boat and it actually kept up with our real boat! The kids were driving it along with us! Very good quality for the price and super fun to use. Highly recommend for some lake time fun.

The media could not be loaded. First off, I have owned a variety of RC vehicles over the years, and one of them is the DEERC H120 RC Boat. After getting that model I was eagerly awaiting for DEERC to come out with another boat... BOOM... The DEERC 2008 has landed and it is just as great as the H120 with the addition of LED lights on the boat and an even nicer controller. You get 2 speed options which will be nice for kids/beginners to start off on. The higher speed is much more fun and quite manageable.The 2008 is fast, nimble, easy to handle, water tight and quite durable It performs exactly as described and having the 180° flip feature (in the event you capsize it) is a great feature to ensure you won't have to go swimming for it.Battery life was as described (got around 15-20 mins out of each battery), and that was running at full speed the entire time (as shown in my video). I recommend investing in a couple extra batteries to give yourself plenty of running time (just make sure to let it rest between battery changes as it is described in the manual, since this will help it stay running in tip top shape). The battery warning feature on the controller is very audible and gives you plenty of time to get the boat back in so it won't get stranded.Bottom line is that I would buy this boat again and highly recommend it.

After using this remote control boat 3 times it stopped running fast and is very sluggish. This is not a battery issue and there is obviously something wrong with the boat or the remote. The 30 day return policy is worthless. I would avoid buying this boat.

The media could not be loaded. I have used this RC boat twice so far, and my opinion is that this product functions extremely well. I do recommend you take it to a large body of water for proper enjoyment. I first tested it in our pool, and there is not enough space to get to full speed. I did encounter some limitations. The batteries take about 1 and a half hours to charge. You have to watch for grass and other floating items because they can get stuck on the rudder. You should also be cautious of the blade while driving and picking the boat up as it can cut you while running. In addition, the backup feature is slow; you can barely turn while using it. Despite this, it is a fun boat. After the first charge, the batteries each last about 20 minutes, using the boat at full speed. At lower speeds, each battery lasted about 30 or 40 minutes before running out of charge. The controls are easy to understand. It comes with a stand that can be snapped together or taken apart to save space or for transport. It has a low battery warning that is two beeps, repeated every couple of seconds. Best of all, the top speed is about 15 mph and it turns quickly. The easy turns and quick acceleration make for an excellent driving experience. Overall, this is an amazing RC boat.

Good battery life, and water proof. Just make sure the gasket inside is seated properly. I did not have it all the way done one time and it allowed a bit of water in. The boats pretty quick, and range is pretty good. We used it in one of the little retention ponds with the fountains. I considered trying to send it all the way across but didn't want to find a way to fish it out if it lost communication. 50ft or so seemed solid.
