ALPHAREV RC Boat with Case R308MINI 2 Packs 20+ MPH Remote Control Boat for Pools and Lakes, 2.4 GHZ RC Boats for Adults and Kids

Funny and style for gift

Bought the the larger AlphaRev a few years back and absolutely love it. Was hoping the mini would be just as good and I could get two for a little more than a single large, then the kids don’t have to take as many turns sharing and we all win. As soon as I connected the battery, the boat did its boot up beep and the LEDs came on. Was surprised at this because my other boat’s lights only come on in the water. Turned in the remote, let it connect and tested the trigger. The prop started spinning immediately. Was not happy about this since the water contact was a nice safety for the kids. Two star loss because of safety. Got the boat into the water. Kids thought it was going too slow, so I adjusted the speed dial. Minimal uptick. Far slower than advertised. Full star gone. The boat requires a lot of steering trim adjustments because the battery weight leaves it tilting to one side. Wasn’t an issue on the larger boat. The battery life was much less than stated, which was a huge let down for the kids. This version also lacks an inner cover as extra watertight protection. All together, another star gone. Really hope this was bad luck on my part because I really enjoy the larger version, but this experience has left me wondering if the quality there has dropped as well.

What fun these are! A senior citizen racing these with an 11 year old. We had a blast. They are fast even with waves, very impressed. Has about 20 mins use time then 1-2 hours charging time. Take care of them, put them back in the nice case they came in and they should last a long time! Worth the money to have such fun, quality time.

These liile boats work well and the grandchildren have lots of fun with them. They manuver very well and are very responsive to the remote control. I recommend this product.

Superb quality for the price. Easy to use and durable. Will buy again.

These boats started off awesome!! Fast, very easy to maneuver, but after the first use water got inside of the boats and rusted out the motor and other components on the inside compartment. The battery no longer charges and unfortunately they can no longer be used.

Grandson and his father love these. Took them to river and played with them. And he is 7 and learned real quick how to operate.

Brought these for my son for Christmas to use this summer. Just opened them yesterday and one broke (rudder snapped off in the water!) and goes way slower than claimed. Didn’t even get one day of use out of them. Not worth the money. Unfortunately because they were a Christmas gift in a cold state so weren’t able to test until now and we are now past the return window. Quality, value and durability are poor. Luckily we got the two pack so my son can use one but can’t race them with his dad (why we bought the 2 pack).
