One of the great things about the RC hobby is the terrain diversity. For example, you can romp around in the dirt, or you can speed around on the street. You can own the air with a plane or chopper, or you can take to the seas with a boat. In this article, i am going to cover taking to the seas with the electric RC boat called the Flying Fish Speed Racing boat. Now, the optimal type of water to run an RC boat on would be a nice smooth lake. I would not recommend trying to race around on choppy waters which makes it harder to keep control and might result in flipping the boat. Another thing to mention is that if you do happen to flip the boat or crash in some way, be prepared to get a little wet. Besides, whats the fun of playing at a lake if you don’t do a little swimming?

The Flying Fish is a good sized boat measuring 41 inches in length, 14 inches in width, 10 inches in height, and weighs in around 35 pounds. It is a full function RC boat powered by twin SC550 type racing motors. The propellers are professionally designed and the high-capacity rechargeable battery and quick battery charger make this a long running and high speed boat. Top speed is around 30 miles per hour. It has a Vector-Push design, and it easy to be controlled. The actuating mechanism is 100 percent metal which is very durable and long lasting. The Flying Fish comes 100 percent pre-assembled with glossy exterior paint and is ready to run.

What comes with it? The Flying Fish comes in a full package. The package includes the remote controller, 8AA batteries for the remote, a 12 volt RC2300 rechargeable battery and a 110 volt battery charger adapter.

Who is it for? This a bigger electric RC boat which is more powerful, faster, and more expensive. I would recommend this for intermediate to expert drivers, ages 12 and up. If you have not driven an RC boat before, i would start with something cheaper to get the hang of it and work your way up.

I hope this has been an informative article for you and i wish you luck with your RC boating hobby. Feel free to come check out some pictures of the Flying Fish or view our other Electric RC Boats.

If driving on just land, cruising across just water, or just flying around in the air is getting boring, why not do all 3 with the 4 channel RC flying boat? This Electric RC Boat, called the Hydro Flyer, does all 3! So whether you are out at the lake, playing in your backyard, or have a lot of air to cover, consider it done! This is the ultimate RC vehicle for a fun hobby wherever you are at. It is rather sizable at 26.8 inches long and 16 inches wide, which in my opinion, makes it easier to keep an eye on as you fly it through the air, cruise across the lake, or up the beach.

The Hydro Flyer is full of features. It has a super tough, lightweight airframe molded out of plastic and foam construction, has a brushless motor, and a 4 channel transmitter receiver, backed by a standard 4 channel radio system. The Hydro Flyer comes 100% pre-assembled, making it RTR, and uses a high speed motor for faster speeds and to help it get off the ground. The propellers are expert designed for the best performance.

Where can i use it? Since it is designed for all terrains, you can virtually use this electric RC boat anywhere! If you are planning a trip to the lake, bring it along and race your boat with it. If you are going camping where there is a nice sized field, bring it along and show off its flight capabilities. Are you bored at home? Pull it out and give it a run in the back yard. I would not recommend running it on asphalt though, this could damage the plastic hull making it not as effective in the water, or possibly even put holes, making it unable to float.

How long does it take to charge? The Hydro Flyer takes 1 hour to charge, which gives you a full 20 - 35 minutes run time.

What age group is it most fitted for? The Hydro Flyer is probably most suitable for people above the age of 12. It has a higher powered motor and has the capability of flying, making it probably not the best vehicles for younger children.

What comes with it? Being RTR, it comes with everything you need to charge it up and go play. Included in the package is the instruction manual, 4 channel remote controller (8 AA batteries not included), 11.1V 1200Amh rechargeable battery, battery charge adapter (110V), and an extra propeller.
