@Flyin' Ryan RC oh I'm sorry for my me being impatient, but i can't operate the rudder out of water:( so I think it might be broken :( thanks for your response tho.
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 6 years ago
You really should watch my review before asking questions. It's kind of rude. ;) Anyway, as I very clearly covered in my review, there is a safety feature that requires it to be in the water before the motor will arm. You should be able to move the rudder out of the water though.

Well, there are many options, but this is a cheap and simple option that will work for the battery included with this boat. This is the version with the US plug. If you need a European plug, they sell those too (just search Amazon for the name of the charger). https://amzn.to/2LCKACq

About the water cooling, you've gotten it wrong. The water is forced through the little thingy at the back and exits out the hole in the front.
Gareth G
Gareth G - 6 years ago
I own one and it's a great boat. It is very stable and fun to use, it rarely flips over. I actually stripped the screws holding the rudder on when I drove it over a cable that was under the water. I gorilla glued the rudder screws back on and it runs just fine. Only thing is, it occasionally caches a wave wierd and dives under the water like a submarine. Other than that, it's a blast!
Craig Ster
Craig Ster - 6 years ago
I just ordered one, well the red & white goolrc version. Same thing, going to let my 6 year old twins give this one a go. I've had several fast electrics & I'm pretty sure the rear pick up tube is for the inlet & the underbelly would be the outlet. Usually it just goes out the side of the hull, & yes the torque of the motor on the self righting feature works. Works for smaller lighter boats. Thanks for sharing & happy boating.

Flyin' Ryan RC hay my boat is the green one but I'm going to hydro dip the green parts only mine is going blue flame. look up on YouTube how to hydro dip you will never paint an RC body ever again. when my hydro dip film and actavator comes in I will make a video on it plus I'm doing a 1/18 a959 to a 68 Camaro body and I'm going to hydro dip it to. plus I put a Traxxas 12 turn 550 motor in mine it's doing 60+ mph but I'm fixing to change to 3s battery it will be doing 70+mph. I'm waiting for all my metal upgrades to come in the only thing that will be plastic will be the body. hydro dipping.

You use trim to make the boat move in a straight line. If it turns off to either side, you give opposite trim until it stays straight.

I'll have to try it that way. Will let you know. Thanks a lot.
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago
@Dan Murray There shouldn't be anything to it... they should bind automatically. You might check the manual to see if there is any info about somehow forcing a rebind. I would also suggest trying different batteries in the transmitter. And try different combinations of turning the boat on first, and turning the transmitter on first.
Dan Murray
Dan Murray - 8 years ago
The rudder doesn't respond. I'll keep messing with it. Is there a trick to pairing the boat with the remote? Thanks for your time.
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago
I already replied to you on Facebook, but just in case anyone else sees this, and has the same problem, here was my reply: Hmm, it may just be defective. I've had one boat that I simply could not get to bind. Does the rudder ever even work? The rudder should work out of the water, I believe. But the boat has to be in water for the motor to work. If the rudder works, then you can at least confirm that it is binding to the radio.

Great video man! As always, super good quality!
I bought this FT009 because of you and maaan, that thing is a lot of fun! My first real RC boat and i love it!
I upgraded the power connectors to Traxxas and skipped the connector between the ESC and Motor ( just soldered it together) to achieve better power transfer from the battery to the motor. I also added the steering fins and trim tabs from the FT012. And now it really moves! Sure, the FT012 is much faster but i love the FT009

Flyin' Ryan RC

@Peak I haven't been too impressed with the ProBoat models that I have reviewed. I think you need to spend like $300+ on their brushless models before you really start to have fun with them. :/

Peak
Peak - 8 years ago
+Flyin' Ryan RC oh, alright, thanks for the feedback, I was mostly looking at the brand for the proboat but I guess that doesn't really matter, for 30 dollars compared to 50 to 90 dollars it should be a steal. Thanks again and love the videos.
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 8 years ago
Only you can decide if something is worth your $30. As for it being better than the ProBoat Impulse 9, I guess that depends on what you mean by "better". And, I have no experience with the Impulse, but I did review the Blackjack 9. It is not even comparable to the FT009. It is small and slow.

The QueensConquerer
The QueensConquerer - 8 years ago
I saw this boat for 46 US dollars RTR at a shop nearby, the FT012 was 99 US Dollars, I may pick up the FT009, but there's a small lake nearby, and the beaches are a 25 minute walk away, also I heard that salt water may hurt the boat. So instead I bought the WLToys A999.

You're so lucky, can buy all these, my mother lets me buy stuff from my savings only.
The QueensConquerer
The QueensConquerer - 8 years ago
Maybe in the future I will buy these boats but for now I have a certain list of quads and planes I want to buy, and now I added that cam heli you just reviewed to it, after I'm done with them, then I'll probably buy the boat. But my savings may go into negative value by then XD. Now I have about 3200 Hong Kong dollars in my money box. I'm just gonna save up till 3500 then I'll buy another thing. :)

+The QueensConquerer I buy them from my savings as well, but as a 38yro, my savings is probably quite a bit more than yours. ;) Salt water can make metal rust, but I would think that as long as you thoroughly rinse the boat off with regular water afterwards, it should be fine.

+Jc Fraser You don't want to do that as you will likely over-draw the ESC and fry it. If you want to go faster, you need the brushless FT012.

Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
+Jc Fraser I don't think they sell it any more (maybe because I exposed the truth about its real size? lol). And, no, a larger mAh battery will only provide longer run times, not more speed. If anything, a larger battery may actually slow it down because of the extra weight.

So you play with it in the bathtub, I just have my rubber ducky, got too get one of these then, but that will be  FT012    Alishanmao  reviewed one and it actually dived underwater for like 5 seconds it disappeared, came up and just continued going.   Also how well designed is this with those safety sensors in the bottom, for not accidently starting it in your hand, not like Horizon Hobby with some stupid switch.   those strange ripple you saw, was most likely some big fish, looking for a meal
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
+Ruudy L Haha, I just released my FT012 review today, and mine dove underwater too! :D I've had no issues with the safety censors, but I'd prefer it if they weren't there (it's just always risky feeling to throw the boat in the water before being certain it is bound and working). The FT012 doesn't have them... it's on and ready to go as soon as you connect the battery. :)
Doggeslife
Doggeslife - 9 years ago
I guess once you tried the brushless version this one became a closet queen, or at least banned to smaller ponds too small for the faster boat. The difference in performance is amazing. Just got my first boat, a Barbwire XL (brushless, self-righting) and it's amazingly quick.
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@Doggeslife I gave this to my friend (who lives at the apartment complex with this pond that I'm using), but even after owning the brushless version, I still find this version to be quite enjoyable. The brushless one can be a bit too fast at times. They are both great boats though, especially for the price. :)

Nice boat, have you been running it alot this summer ?
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@shawn mcintyre My friend let a friend drive it, and she ran it ashore and kept on the throttle, breaking the shaft.  It was a fairly easy fix though, and he's back up and running now.  And, yes, I get so much of a kick out of these boats that I've gotten like 5 more since this one.  lol  I have the brushless version now, the FT012, which is an absolute speed demon.  So much fun.  And I have my eye on that Cajun Commander... looks like fun!
shawn mcintyre
shawn mcintyre - 9 years ago
@Flyin' Ryan RC Number 1, I want to know if your boat is still running as it did when it was new, also just curious if its still a kick to get out and play at the lake... After all you are Flyin' Ryan ! Check out the Cajun Commander

@shawn mcintyre Well, I gave it to my buddy (the one whose apartment has this lake). He's run it a few times since I gave it to him. Why?
Steve S
Steve S - 9 years ago
Ryan, you haven't run the FT009 till you've gone wave jumping at the beach!  Wow!
Give it about half throttle parallel to the wave, make a hard right to sea and punch it!  I was getting 3 to 6 feet of air!  Landings were 50/50 wrong-side up.  But, who cares!  Use the self-righting procedure and do it all again.  Run out about 30 yards, then punch it to shore and go skipping over the ocean like the Harry Nilsson song!
Didn't take long to acquire a small audience and questions on where to pick one up, yada, yada.
Fun times Ryan!

@NEANEA JUSTINISH Yeah, this Feilun boat is much faster than that. And that Huanqi boat uses dual props, and just changes the speeds of the props to turn, whereas the Feilun has an actual rudder to turn, making it a better turner.

That was pretty cool. Seems like you know your business so it struck me funny when you were mentioning the cooling system. You had it completely backwards :) The water is forced in at the back by the prop. The forward motion forces the water in and pushes it out the side of the boat. Excellent review though !! Two thumbs up.

Hey Maritime Ryan,

 That wave flapping of the bow you will soon realize is not cool on several performance levels. You can tune that out with a bit of modeling clay inside the front hull of the boat  and a different pitch coming from the power end.

So you see that when you go full throttle, the boat kinda skips along. If you try to move the battery forward a little bit, the skipping should stop.
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@Atterhall Racing I don't think there's room to move the battery, but other weight could probably be added to the nose.  I don't mind the skipping though… it looks cool to me.  And it was probably worsened by the choppy water.

First off, let me say I love your reviews. They're always honest and comprehensive. I've always been interested in RC boats but have been put off by "What if something happens out there." At least with my quadcopters, if some thing happens gravity will bring it home. My question regarding the FT009 is, does a LVC exist? When the battery gets low, does a LED blink somewhere or maybe a gauge on the controller? My biggest concern with an RC boat is getting it back without getting wet or having to have a full-sized boat of my own. Thanks for making these videos and your flying control in that tiny room with the fish lamp is amazing.

Wow! Freaking sweet!!! And for $60? I'd take that all day long. Now take the boat I've been looking at, the Traxxas Spartan. Very nice, very fast, but missing a couple features that you would think a boat that expensive would have: A water sealed compartment, and a self righting feature like this one. I'm going to snag this one up in the spring!

@Matthew Fant @Chad deQuevedo Wow, I had no idea that some boats were not water-sealed!  That seems absolutely crazy to me!  If I had known that, I would've made more of a point to point that out as another positive for this boat.  :)

@Flyin' Ryan RC I have the Aquacraft Revolt 30 and you have to seal it with boat tape (black hockey tape apparently works too) after you connect the battery. I almost lost it on the maiden run because I missed that one sentence in the manual. The canopy popped off and water got everywhere. Luckily, it still runs and I have a ton of fun with it (http://youtu.be/vVVL79SkbTo). Great review as always and FT009 looks like it has some kick to it.

It is not. There are a bunch of videos showing ways of helping to water seal the compartment or tape it. Also, from my understanding, the cooling jacket that wraps around the motor, leaks as well. This is all secondhand knowledge. I haven't owned one yet, although, towerhobbies.com has a great deal where you get 2 3 cell lipos included with the boat, and I almost snagged it up till I read about all the issues. There are aftermarket solutions to fix the issues of course...

@Matthew Fant The Spartan isn't water sealed!?  That seems like a necessity for any boat.  Weird.  Be sure to check out the brushless version of this one too (link in the video description).  It should be even more fun!  :)

Nice review!  My friend and I enjoyed running these boats last summer. His is green and mine is orange (which is actually more copper colored).  We never had any problems except my rudder assembly came loose. The screws that hold it to the hull can strip as they only hold on to the plastic.  And make sure the cooling hoses are all the way on the coil.  My friend's boat almost became a submarine when the hose came off and it filled half full of water.  Still ran fine after that.  Finally, you can override the safety feature by attaching both wires together at one of the two screws (water sensors).  Just be careful not to hit the throttle accidentally!

Looks like a nice boat. I've been thinking about one, but water isn't as close as my helipad.

If that pond turns to ice, then you really ought to try an RC hovercraft on it. Seems like some of the variants of the early Tyco models are now coming into stock - they've been listed but out of stock at many places for the last few years. The dual prop differential steering ones steer like tanks - you can spin in place by running one engine in reverse and the other forward.

Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@Mike Meyer That sounds like fun.  :)  I will have to check my local toy stores and see if anything is available and of interest.  :)

Is there any sort of like LVC telemetry warning on the transmitter? Unless the ESC has a voltage floor where it will only allow the motor a low amount of voltage when the battery gets low to let you know it's time to come in.  But if not really gotta listen to the motor, if you accidentally over draw that battery, that will mean flames, trust me lol
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@Mitchell Cook No telemetry, but there is some sort of cutoff where the boat goes into slow speed, so you know to bring it back.  :)

it is a realy nice boat, i think you are a good guy :) again we like to see your vids. i think you have a house vul of rc's :)
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@rc boats I may have to consider it. :)  I really like the look of the Miss Geico, but it seems they only sell the small brushed one now, and I would really like brushless, and probably the 3S LiPo with it.  :)  I can always use this boat as my rescue boat, I suppose.  :)
Thijs fpv

yeah 2 time's. but i do have a homemade pusher tug
so i can push it back
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@rc boats I'll check it out!  I was just looking at Pro Boat's page about that exact boat!  Looks awesome. :)  Do you ever accidentally flip it?
Thijs fpv
Thijs fpv - 9 years ago
that's treu. 
anyway we like to see your video's
you can see my proboat blackjack 29 (brushless) on my channel.. mabye you could subscribe?
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@rc boats I want to get a Pro Boat catamaran, like maybe the Miss Geico, but I'm really hesitant to buy boats that don't self-right now.  Seems like maybe we will see more of that feature in future models?  It's really a reassuring feature, since I don't want to have a rescue backup plan every time I want to go boating.
Thijs fpv
Thijs fpv - 9 years ago
nice, i am looking forward to your next vid
i am sure that the water intake is in the back. thats why its got a "not flat side on it) the screw shoots the water in the pickup. in my rc boat you can see the water schooting uit the side (my water pickup is on the back and the outake in the side) 

maybe the proboat impulse 9 or the blackjack 9
Flyin' Ryan RC
Flyin' Ryan RC - 9 years ago
@rc boats Thanks!  I have another boat video coming soon.  :)  Are you certain about the ports?  Seems like the bottom would be a better in port… shooting water out of the bottom seems like it would affect the way it sits on the water.  And is the rooster tail out of the back not partly caused by the output water?
