These are a ton of fun in small rivers. Water cooled mine with a water pickup and runs 3s on a cheap HobbyWing ESC. Without water cooling the motor will melt the motor mount. Yours does look a little slow, on my V1's there is a low/med/high on the controller. Check if this V2 does as well.
Ah, I didn’t have the V1. The V2 is radio first, boat second. I just tried turning the boat on first, as long as you turn the radio on one second later it will work. If you wait too long, the sync times out and doesn’t work. Yeah, water tag was a big hit. Literally!
Hello, how long can you drive the boat on charged battety. We used our new boat yesterday on a freshly charged battery and it ran for a very short time
My Jet Jam V2 is leaking like crazy. It fills with water after a few minutes of driving in my pool. Then the motor gets flooded with water and it crawls back to me. Any ideas? I tried marine grease to waterproof around the rubber seal. Did not fix the issue. I tried it in my sink with the top off and ran the motor. No water leaked in. I can only assume the leak is coming in through that rubber seal. Or it enters when flipped upside down. Or when under full throttle. I still have to test some more situations.
I wish they would have upgraded the speed not the just the radio. Hardly enough changes to designate a new version. They could have at least included a Li-Po instead of those cheap Li-Ion cells they include. Oh well, great for kids all the same. Nice pool Swabbie!
Hey G! Yeah, for the hobbyists, we could have used some more fun tweaks. But this thing in my mind is really aimed at the pool owner that thought it would be neat to play with an RC boat in the pool occasionally. For that its good and gets the job done. My kids and nephews had a blast with it. It was their first time driving a boat and for them it was perfect. Hope you been well bud!
So whats different? I have two of the V1's, looks like the radio and motor? Im disappointed there is no reverse in these, and mine leak water like crazy.
The thing about these is that the servo or reciever will eventually fail. So I completely replaced them with standard electronics not the weird five wire servo things. So be prepared to upgrade it unless you want to continually replace the servo and reciever. they used to sell them with five wire servos seems they might have finally changed that
Hey was this boat was updated. When they first cam out it didn’t get best best reviews. Well they must be a good little boat cause there still being sold. But Really how good is it.
100$ for that is too expensive for the very poor features and value it offers, it’s an aliexpress el cheapo boat with the proboat price and stickers stamped on it…
That is awesome! Great way to have some rc fun in the pool! Never mind the us adults late night after the kids are in bed! Love it!

The V2 radio has a throttle D/R dial. It’s turned up to the Max. Running in a small river sounds cool.
Heck yes, that looks like fun! Nice pool, Greg!
hola Amigo muy buenos dias como estas , divertido el bote , especial para los chicos de la casa , saludos y exitos siempre
The startup phase for the old model is the other way round. First turn on the boat, then the transmitter. Kids love to play tag with these.

Very nice little jet boat and very cool feature to flip over, how is that works???
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
When you push the button on the radio, it gives a burst of power to the motor and it rolls the boat over.
Thanks for the vid!
Looks like fun
Looked relatively easy to change the motor out for something quicker?
Hello from southeast alaska I hope your day is going well bro

Cool
Pool seasons over up here in Maine...LOL
LOL all 30 days? I was happy I got up there a few times this year and even in the ocean. Love it there.
id buy these just for the water soccer LOL!
Ping-pong ball worked better. The larger squishy ball we used gradually filled with water and became difficult for the boats to push over time.
@@rcdriver well, i just ordered 2 of them, lol

Is the boat able to go backward?

I was told new radio system. I didn’t have a V1. No leaking from either of these. But I hear you about the reverse; it’s because of jet design.
@@rcdriver ok. Thanks. Both mine leak bad. And no luck getting any help about it. Video on my yt.
Bought it for my 5yr old son. I play with it more than him.

The radio system was updated in the V2. It’s not the fastest boat, but put a looot of runs in on them and they worked great in the pool.
Awesome to know thanks
hello when the review of the traxxas trx4m 1/18
Sorry, I don’t have a time estimate.
Make it brushless!!
To slow even for a pool. They need a brushless version with a replaceable Foam front bumper.
$99 cheap 💀
Don't use with salt water pools. completely stopped working in about 5-6 runs
That’s partly why I replaced all the electronics
first

Looks like fun
