If you have a fear for things that go fast then the Victory R/C Speed Boat isn't for you. On the other hand, if things that skim the water at blistering speeds tend to excite you, then you'll probably find this rechargeable remote control (RC) boat right up your alley.
OK, so a petrol boat will probably go faster, but it'll make a hell of a lot more noise, require endless hours of maintenance, throw out awful smelling fumes and guzzle fuel like there's no tomorrow.
This RC speed boat, on the other hand, includes a high capacity rechargeable battery pack and quick battery charger for endless hours of hassle free fun. What makes the Victory cut through water like a hot knife through butter though?
A number of things - firstly, the Victory's hull incorporates spear like aerodynamics - you can tell just by looking at it. Secondly, the boat design utilises differential thrust (in techno speak, a vector push design), rather than the common rudder system for steering. Thirdly, this RC boat employs two professional large torsion propellers to generate huge thrust, without any loss of durability. Finally, two high speed racing motors (type 380) are used to drive each propeller, the last vital ingredients in this blazingly fast water craft.
Combine all these high speed attributes with the Victory R/C Speed Boat's ultra-chic styling and now, there's every reason to show off at your local waterway practising those jet-ski like turns.
Product Specification
The Victory radio control (RC) Speed Boat comes complete with a:- pre-assembled boat hull with durable 100% metal actuating RC mechanism,
- 7.2V Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack,
- mains powered rapid battery charger,
- boat hull stand (for storing the Victory out of the water),
- 40m range RC transmitter unit,
- 2 x spare propellers (including securing screws and hex wrench); and
- illustrated operating instructions.
The included RC transmitter for the Victory Speed Boat allows you to stop and control the craft forwards, left and right only (backwards motion is not possible). Steering is by differential propeller thrust - the Victory does not have a rudder system. 8 x AA alkaline batteries (not included) are required for the RC transmitter unit. This electric boat is not intended to be used over rough water. The Victory performs best over large open areas of flat water with no surface debris. Operating the Victory over wavy conditions will increase the likelihood of the boat hull over-turning, not only making retrieval possibly a problem, but increasing the chance of damage to the craft. Before operating the Victory in open water, please check for any surface debris that could potentially damage its two propellers. To maximise the speed of the Victory RC boat over water, minor maintenance, such as oiling each propeller shaft is required. 3-4 hours is required to fully charge the included 7.2V Ni-MH battery pack before first use - this will provide up to 20 minutes of continuous boating, after which the battery pack will need re-charging with the included AC adapter charger. We do not recommend allowing your battery pack to completely drain while your boat is in open water.- Recommended for ages 12 and up.
- Operating frequency: 27MHz.
- Length: 750mm (including twin-propellers).
Please note: This product is not for children under 3 years of age as some parts represent a choking hazard. Do not put anything near the propellers while spinning - these high speed propellers can and will injure fingers, hands etc. For your safety, please use the Victory's power off switch whenever the boat hull is not in water. Batteries should not be recharged beyond the recommended time frame.
