The tiny Venom RC boat is a blast to drive.
High speeds, smooth proportional steering, and features like a water cooling system make this little toy boat way cooler than any other RC boats you'd find at your local toy store. Its speed might be too much for a small pool unless you manage the throttle and keep it under 5mph. Put this boat in a lake, and once it planes above the water it takes off! For only around $40, it's the cheapest RC boat that is an actual "Speed Boat". A lot of other boats look cool and fast on their packaging but most underperform once in the water.
The Venom RC Boat Features:
Anti-tilt hull. I couldn't get this boat to tip over and stay on its back unless I tossed it in upside down. They designed the hull to be light on the top and heavy on the bottom so it'll constantly want to roll right side up. Even if you do manage to flip the boat, the torque from the motor will help roll it back right side up!
Water cooling system. The hull is airtight and a powerful motor needs to keep cool so this boat has a little water inlet on the bottom that will force water through tubing inside the boat that wraps around the motor to keep it running cool. After looping around the motor, it is ejected out the side of the boat, just like on the professional RC boats.
Low battery alarm. I've had boats in the past that would just die when the battery was low and I'd have to bring a fishing pole to cast out and retrieve it. Luckily the Venom RC boat has a low battery alarm on the controller that will beep when it's time to bring it back in!
Lipo Battery. Run times will be between 6-10 minutes depending on how fast you're running your boat. If you're cruising slowly in a pool you'll be a good 10 minutes of battery! If you're full throttle in a lake, you'll only get around 6 minutes. The good thing is that extra batteries are only around 8 each so make sure to pick up a couple extras for your next trip to the lake. Charging is done through the included USB charger and takes around 2 hours to fully charge the battery.
Exhaustive review, and I appreciate a lot the final comparison between UDI001 and FT009, well done
Thanks for the review. I got this and absolutely loved it
Great review, good detail, no BS. Really helped me decide to buy one for just toy duty. Thanks for the video, I just purchased one from Amazon.
Rob Patten me too u can't wait to run mine on a pretty summer after noon
Now they have a version that goes up to 30 mph.
Really nice and thorough review!
This is a great review! Thanks so much for all the information, I really appreciate it 😄👍
Got this as a late birthday gift. Just wanted to see how it does before I put it in the water
Nice boat, good review
+Erik Summer you really should have more subscribers your videos are well laid out and true:) loved the vid the boat is coming today
Vary helpful thanks
nice! I enyoded it.
Thx for review. I have never had a boat or anything remote controlled for that matter. When you say adjust trim is that adjusting your turning is it. I would like something cheap to start off with and teach my children how to use it also and then I might look at something bigger and better for myself as I get used to it. Would you recommend something small like this one to start off with. I have looked at a couple and some have a extra protection lid under the top lid that lifts off to unsure water doesn't get in. Maybe something like that may be better, iam not sure
So cool
Is there a lipo upgrade ?
How long can I use it in salt water for without it getting damaged?
Is it necessary or possible to grease the shaft on these UDI boats??
How do you remove the shaft?
huanqi 960 rc boat works on land or need to put it on water to run?pls reply
If 001 has water cooling whats the point in 003?
The udi003 runs water over the motor to cool it. Since there's no air flow it helps keep the motor from getting so hot it melts the soldering. It's not that important since most people wont me running that tiny boat full speed the whole time.
Any giveaways soon?
That cool
You're fine
how many volts is the battery?
Do they work in salt water? Is it good for them?
Nicholas Wolf Yes it can run in salt water but don’t run it in there for so long or els the motor will get damaged And when your done clean it out well.
Does this come with a spare battery and could it be used in the sea?
Mine didn’t. For some reason, some reviews say it came with extra.
Hi erick!!! I Have a UDI001venom speed boat 3 days ago. I Have a question for You! Wen i turn to the right side the rudder don't turn so much. I touch the buttons in the remote control but imposiboll don't turn so much. You know why or what I can do for repair this problem??? Sorry for my English. Thanks
I got mine today and its doing the same did you find out why or how to fix it?
Mine also. Servo moves very little when turning right.
Whats a good boat for the pool?
I would say yes. The boat is pretty small and has good turning. The speed is proportional so you can go slow but the propeller is pretty sharp so I wouldn't run it with people in the pool.
Id like to get one but i wouldn't run it at the park. The pond there is so weedy its not funny.
You're right, Summer time the weeds get out of control. They're not too bad in the winter.
baby pian
BS mine I s hella slow, no where near that fast
Most likely it's because there's a lot of friction in the shaft. It's important to keep some kind of oil/lube in there because water will get in there and cause problems.. I use (white lightening) but you can get away with a (3-in-1) oil from your local hardware store.
is the compartment water tight
