Electric RC Boat - The Flying Fish Speed Racing Boat

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.
