This is for the ALPHAREV RC Boat - R208 . NOT THE MINI !!... First, WOW! Its a blast !!..Having been in the R/C car and plane hobby for 30 years, Im very impressed by this little boat. It is plenty fast for my 21 foot diameter round pool which I bought it for. I cant even really get it to max speed before I have to turn. I now want to take it to a local park pond to let it stretch it legs! This is no Walmart toy. It actually has hobby grade components like adjustable steering servo and a WATER COOLED MOTOR ! I was able to easily adjust the steering linkage to make it turn a little sharper at slower speeds. Now at higher speeds it turns on a dime and can actually submarine itself. For the first few battery charge cycles, the Driving times were a little short and the low battery alarm came on quickly, but after 3-4 cycles , I easily get 10-12 minutes of aggressive driving before the alarm starts. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a boat to mess around with in a pool, you can always drive slower, but this has some punch and speed for some excitement! Only downside I can think of is that it comes with a USB charger that takes 3 hours to charge the battery. And now I want to get more batteries. Considering changing the connectors so I can charge it faster with my hobby chargers...Anyhow, Great Boat , especially for $40. Glad I chose it would do it again...and just might so I can RACE.lol
UPDATE- Bought another one to race -great FUN. Battery life does get much better after a few charge cycles- This is Normal for LIPO batteries. Also found that the top speed is greatly affected by the condition of the propeller; my first prop began to get just the slightest amount of damage from hitting rocks at the pond and the chlorine floater in the pool. The prop was cavitating very badly. Replaced the prop and the boat was fast again. I used sand paper and smoothed out the rudder and stabilizers -made a difference. TAKE AWAY- take care of the prop. If it seems slower, change it out. Great little boat!
