Feilun FT1011 Racing Boat Review from Banggood

This is the first RC boat I've driven. My kids and I have been looking forward to getting some driving in on this for a while. I really wanted to race after it with my quadcopter and get some good aerial footage, but it didn't work out that way. After I get a new canopy, I may make a part 2 video where I do follow it with my quad. I think that footage would be awesome. Anyway, if you do drive one of these, be sure to tape down the top canopy with some Scott tape so that it doesn't come off like mine did.

I too have this boat, bought it when first came on the scene, it goes without saying that this boat runs so,so, much better in calmer waters, and you should always, Always, always, use tape on all water crafts...these are not meant to be run on choppy water! (Waterproof Tape).
Have fun! Remember: calmer water is so much more fun and you will really be able to see what this boat can do!
Also with just one small upgrade (that being a bigger prop) makes a HUGE difference in performance!

so heres what i did took a nail heated it up pushed it through where the factory clip is supposed to be pushed it through the lip that stands up on the top canopy then used a large clip from rc car and voila still use tape as well but now problem solved

Good Times!!!! I got the FT011 from Gear Best last week, and it will Not stay BINDED for more than 45 seconds MAX??? I can only get it to bind about one time out of every 30 tries doing it exactly the same way you mentioned plugging the battery in and then immediately turning on the transmitter. since the transmitter is blinking like it should normally do in The Binding process, and the LED light sometimes comes on and sometimes doesn't come on on the three and one speed control receiver located in the front I just went ahead and ordered a new three and one speed controller from bangood. Hopefully that fixes the issue!!! If not I'll just have to bust out another $15 for a new transmitter. Lol. The retail price of the transmitter speaks volume if you know what I mean!?! if this boat runs half as well as yours I would be all too happy to glue styrofoam in the canopy and tap down the hatch every single run! It would just be nice if I could actually see it Run!!! last RC boat I had before the small 7.2 volt my girlfriend got me a few years ago for Christmas was approximately 4 feet long and had a modified weed eater engine installed inside of it with a completely open canopy for air Cooling. That was the most Realistic Driving RC boat I've ever owned even though the water cooled Nitro boats looked a lot better with a closed canopy on top. It was canary yellow, Built out of Fiberglass, and a REAL Beauty!!!:). I miss that Boat:/

I drove mine again at the lake with just rubber tape holding the top down and it worked fine for me. I don't have that plastic clip either.

Electric boating 101. Tape. they sell tape for boats to seal them,I see you figured that out after losing your top. I would even consider a removable caulk that you can buy. Even mabe plumbers putty. It looked pretty light,could use a little wright in the bottom to help keep it down. Yeah its best to drive those on calm days. I was impressed that it could right its self,even when filling with water,lol. I looked at those since I am always buying stuff on banggood. This was the first review I have seen on this,very good! most impressed. Sorry you couldnt use your quad too. You never said why. That would be bad if that hit the water,a boat they are not.

travisgrindal - 8 years ago
I didn't fly the quad because I lost the top of the boat before I was able to fly it. I may try again later. I got the replacement top and some rubber tape. I took it out once and drove it around again and it was a lot of fun. When I was finished, I took off the top and there was barely any water in it. I'm glad to know the tape will seal it up a little better.

The water is a bit too choppy,it will go like Hell on smoother water.
Graham Smith

@travisgrindal I think some of the larger scale speed boats have the problem of losing their covers or letting in water,I think this is because of the boat hull flexing due to the large forces generated at high speed,smaller boats don't seem to suffer so much due to their more compact and rigid structure.
travisgrindal
travisgrindal - 8 years ago
I bought a new upper cover and this time I ordered some rubber tape. I took it out driving again on a pond where the water was almost still and you are right, it was fast! This time I put it all together and then taped the top plate down with the rubber tape so it wouldn't come off again. Anyway, it was real fast. I want to take it out to the lake again when the water is a little smoother and really open up the throttle!

For your save the receiver we never taken out the boat from the water with the noise to the ground always the nose looking to the sky because th on hull water goes back and not to the receiver

How long did it take for the boat to arrive from banggood? I'm planning to get one an I had a very bad experience with the shipping.
travisgrindal
travisgrindal - 8 years ago
+Droneking246 Pay the extra for the tracking number and insurance and you'll get it. It usually takes about 2-4 weeks to arrive. If you have the tracking number, you can at least tell that it was indeed shipped and where it is.

The top canopy is just for looks. It doesn't seal out any water. My guess is you didn't have it on right.
Sam McWethy
Sam McWethy - 8 years ago
Your guess is as good as mine, lol. Maybe it just didn't fit tight enough from the factory. But I was more referring to the inside one because it was leaking like crazy. Losing the top one shouldnt have caused any leakage.
travisgrindal
travisgrindal - 8 years ago
how could I not have it on right? It only goes on one way. And then has a single plastic thing to hold it in place.

+J.JONES RC The boat broke too early and I lost the canopy. My plan was to have my son drive the boat and I was going to chase it. I'll probably still do that later after the new canopy comes in.

Hatch tape and a piece of foam in that canopy would have saved it!
travisgrindal
travisgrindal - 8 years ago
+JKFlorida Yup. I thought of that on the way home too. Next time, I'm gluing Styrofoam to the canopy. Even if the water was freezing, I'd swim out to get it.

Fun, I haven't had a boat in close to 15 years and it was nitro. Had a lot of fun with it but went through props crazy fast. Nearest body of water for me is the Colorado river and there was so much floating plant material it would get tangled in the prop. Never managed to run it for a full tank without loosing a prop but always went home with a smile!
travisgrindal
travisgrindal - 8 years ago
+Jason Hitesman Cool. This is my first boat. I had very little expectations, but this thing is fast. I'd really like to get it out on the water on a real calm day.
