Man that was probably the longest I seen an RC speed boat go underwater then pop back up, pretty cool you got the speed claimed on the box with a 4S👍
Yeah I really didn't expect it to resurface after that long, no idea what happened.
And yeah im stoked with 54kph even if it did take a 4s lipo to do it👌
Pretty nice . Can go fast, jumping, spinning, and diving hahahhaa. Awesome boat. Nice video Saul. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yes I am definitely liking this boat especially on 4s
Wasn't expecting the craziness😅
Thanks mate👍
Everyone if you want more speed just find out what the stock prop size and pitch is somehow and increase slightly ...if you icrease to much at a time you will over heat electronics... for example if it has a 30mm prop ,maybe a 32mm with same pitch or slightly more or less pitch would increase over all performance... best is trial and error,never run your boat more than 1 min ,then open hatch and check batt,esc,motor temps there are little devices to point at motor and it gives up the temps,but using common sense and just feeling parts is also fine... slightly warm is fine...hot is bad which means you need to prop down... happy boating
That was crazy going under water like that! Great speed on the water! 👍🏻🍻
Yeah it was quite funny for about 20secs, started stressing at about 25secs😅
Almost perfect speed on 4s.
Thanks for watching mate👍
Oh wow, that was a long time under water. 😮. But apart from that , I’m super impressed with the performance of the boats you get. They are great to see the speed they get in the water and the stability too. 👍🏼🚗
It was very funny but scary, any longer under and I probably would've started packing up to go home😅
I am having lots of fun with boats again and definitely surprised with the performance, it's all thanks to a few that requested I get a boat or two for the channel.
Thanks for checking it out man👍
@@rccrazy yeah man . I thought maybe your next rc, you could get a submarine as a rescue device. 🚤⛵️🌊🤣.
Man if I had enough for one of the good quality underwater rescue RCs it would be awesome at the lake, find some turtles😆
Good video. Definitely was quicker on 4S. I agree with the thinking that it must have gotten at least partially stuck under a rock or something to have stayed under that long.
Thanks Tim👍
Yes I'm very happy with 1kph slower than box speed, pretty much perfect!
Maybe a turtle tried to eat it🤣
Yes I would say a big rock or stuck on weeds, wish it had a fpv cam on it at the time😅
Yesterday mine was under water for several minutes. Spectators started joking around and I was close to driving back home when it suddendly popped up again lol
And I was ready to walk home after like 30s🤣
Good effort😅
@@rccrazy Yeah I think my hope went downhill to zero after ~one minute and I only stayed because I was chatting with other people. I don't wanna know how many WL916 are diving around abandoned because their owners left too soon^^
I was surprised that the sealing hold up pretty OK - there was around a half cup of water inside, not too serious I think.
Yes I'm sure there would be many RC boats that never come back up😅
I was also surprised the seal kept the boat from filling with water👌
Great video big fella! Great to see this boat on 4s and mind blowing to see it sink then surface again. Do you think these could benefit from some foam in the front of the hull?
Thanks so much mate!
I believe someone actually ran theirs on 5s and somehow it survived, no way I would've attempted that😬
And no I didn't think it was ever coming back up😆
I believe it may have got stuck under a rock or in the mud but yes maybe if I had some foam in it it would've been able to dive as deep, I'm no expert on how buoyancy works though so I'm not really sure.
@@rccrazy So it's just a bit nosy then? Likes to punch under the surface? I'm going to try and whack some foam in the hull before I use mine and maybe run it without the nose cone but this vid made me appreciate this boat enough to make a purchase. Maybe even a bit more weight to the rear (new motor and a bit of ballast) Thanks again mate 🍻
Yeah I think it was a little unbalanced front to rear, a little more weight in the rear would help I think.
But the wakes could have been a big factor aswell as I was kind of trying to wake jump😅
Was definitely a good boat stock on 3s and 4s so hopefully you enjoy it as it is and don't have to make too many changes😉
@@rccrazy Thanks for all the insightful replies and the videos mate. Love your work 🍻 I'm sure I'll have some fun ironing out the kinks. Good starter boat for the cash for sure
You are welcome mate.
Good luck with it😁
I have 2 feilun ft012 and they run 56kmh on 3s 1800mAh.
The wltoys 916 are the better newer model of it. But the hull form is the same. My one‘s are very often in this deep diving mode, where it needs time to get up again. 😂😂😂
It’s the low angle arrow like hull.
But the boat is pure fun. I wanne buy the new one too because of the cool light for the evening. It’s cool.
I like it on the udi022 too with the light. And this is the best handling boat from stock what i ever had. It runs 63kmh on 4s 2600mAh by me.
Light and good speed and handling by a good price is a great thing in RC Boating.
Cool video, thanks 😊😎👍🏻🚀
Yes they like to dive don't they😅
They are both great boats for their prices absolutely.
Yeah hopefully we see even more upgraded versions of these smaller boats, 63 with your UDI is good but wouldn't 83 be even better🤪
Thanks for watching and you are very welcome!
Hi there, thanks for sharing! I see you bought a 14.8 but stock is 11.1. No issues?
No issues at all👍
A couple of people actually ran theirs stock on 5s and they survived😯
Thanks so much for coming back to me, much appreciated. Amazing! I’ll try a 4s. It’s such a brilliant little boat and plenty quick enough but you know when you just want a little more?!!! All the best, Dan
I'm all about just that little bit more🤪😆
And you are very welcome!
Have fun with the 4s👍
Good video! Is it different much between the S3 100c and the 4s 100c??
Thank you!
And yes about 10-15kph extra with the 4s.
The S stands for cells so a 3s is actually 3 cells(each cell being 3.7v)
3s is 11.1v and 4s is 14.8v.
Whenever you increase voltage you will get a big jump in top speed and punch.
@@rccrazy thank you for reply back!
You are very welcome🙂
@@rccrazyAnd a big jump in Amps too! Overheating problems can kill both ESC and motor... Only short runs!!!
Mate jumping with throttle will not kill the esc or motor, it's not smart to go full throttle for ages without load but no long runs and jumping does not effect the electronics.
I understand your thinking, but they are not offshore petrol boats, they run at very hot temps compared to electric RCs
Nice video, I melted the ESC in mine running an ovonic 3s 2200mah, mine also duck dives with the protective rubber on the nose.. unsure how yours survived the 4s or even 5s?
Thanks mate👍
That is very strange failing on only 3s🤔
I haven't run mine on 5s but I was going to, I have seen people using 5s and the esc seems to handle it though.
You can get some good cheapish 6s capable boat escs on ebay, would be the way to go if you haven't already done so😁
Amazing video! What a great speed it is doing now like they promised on the box 😜 .. thank you for the battery type and where to get this battery... I have bought a rather cheap rc one not brushless motor though.. 2nd hand i got it for 20 euro ... Will be driving something like 20/25 km/h (acording to the box 🤣). I will upgrade one day to something like this now i have found this channel! Thank you for trying to make the speed work and did achieve the 54km/h 🤩 i subscribed 👍 keep doing what you do! Very scary when the boat went under first, but then i had some good laughs 🙏😂 again thanks!
Thanks you very much😁
It's good to start of with something a bit slower anyway, at least you get a bit of practice before you get something crazy😅
I don't actually have this boat anymore but I may get some more boats at some stage.
Apologies if you just wanted to see boats.
@@rccrazy thank you for this respond! And i still have to look at all your other video's you uploaded before so no worries 🤣 i have a lot to watch i think then 😜 .. i like everything that is rc to be honest so no worries, some years ago i had a 2.5 cc nitro race car hitting 90 km/h... Now i try to get into boats just because i could get this boat i just bought very cheap 😅 .. still have to try if it works 🙏 .. but if i have a question or a problem i might just ask you if you are ok with it 🤔👍🙏
Ah ok you have had cars and other RCs in the past just decided to try boats this time👌
Yes definitely if you need some help with something I will do my best to help you out😉
Bacana seu vidro amigo, vc tem também o link do carregador da bateria OVONIC ?
I have never seen a ovonic charger🤔
You can use any 2s-6s lipo balance charger, you don't need a specific brand.
I loved the video, it cleared my doubts...I wanted to know which battery connector he uses...would it be the T? my 4s batteries are all xt60
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful👍
It does come with the T plug(deans)
You can get adapters for all the options or make one if you don't mind soldering.
@@rccrazy can you upgrade it...(rudder, propeller,) metal? his parts seem to be from the FT012..
Possibly, I'm not sure if there are existing upgrades but I have a random metal rudder that would work great, you may need to mod something(drill a extra hole maybe) but most with a similar length will work👌
Same with the prop pretty much, similar size and pitch will work.
Thanks. I was wondering if I could run mine stock on 4s
Your very welcome!
I'm pretty sure the esc is the same as in the wl915 and they can actually run 5s😳
I'll give mine a go on 5s when I can.
Thanks for watching mate👍
hello sir, this video upgrdae only lippo 4s or with esc, thx
Sorry it's a bit hard to understand your question or comment.
The boat was running 4s lipo with the stock esc, stock esc can handle upto 5s lipo👌
@@rccrazyim sorry sr, im typo hhee
wow amazing stock esc can handle 4-5s lippo, thx
All good👍
is it safe to run 4s on this boat? what's the disadvantageS?
No disadvantage, runs fine on 4s and stays cool enough
Wow shocked it was under that long glad it popped back up would have been an expensive loss including the gps was looking at them the other day not cheap 😮
You know what, I didn't even think about the gps at the time🤦
So yeah even more expensive than I realised, definitely glad i got it back, should we try 5s🤔😅
@@rccrazy Haha if u are willing to risk it becoming a submarine 😂
I'm so tempted😆
@@rccrazy Risk it for the biscuit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have had this boat for like a week and the first few days it would go straight to its top speed. Now it takes a little while for it to and then it finally kicks in and goes fast.any suggestions?please help.
I'm not sure what could cause that sorry.
Maybe try a new esc with the existing motor, that will at least give you a starting point, if its not the esc then it's possible the motor or receiver.
Bonjour quel est la taille maximum de l’emplacement de la lipo merci
Sorry I don't own this boat anymore.
He deserves 5k likes
Is this all stock electronics?
Yeah mate 100% stock👌
So you’re telling me I can run my boat on a 4s I didn’t know the stock electronics were capable of a 4s
People have run these boats STOCK on 5s and it survived😳
I don't suggest running 5s but yes 4s is 100% fine👌
Amigo pode me indicar um carregador para carregar essa bateria, nao tenho experiência nessa area, me mande um link do Aliexpress ou shop de um carregador que carregue essa batria por favor amigo..?
If you mean a 4s lipo then you will need basically any hobby grade 2s to 6s lipo balance charger.
I use big expensive chargers as I charge large capacity lipos for my Ebikes.
I mainly use ISDT chargers or the UltraPower UP8.
One to avoid is the iMax B6 chargers or any clones of the iMax chargers, they are all bad!
so how hot did motor and esc get on 4s??? i would think 4s could destroy this boat...also did water get in hull at all...us rc boat guys like to know this information before buying a new boat...thanks
I did do a stock review video before this one and mentioned no water really gets in the hull, a little did get in this run but that's expected if the lipo is slightly too thick for the top to go on properly.
Motor and esc are good upto 5s actually, just warm on 4s.
@@rccrazy sorry about that... so with stock prop its good on 4s and barely gets warm after 7 mins??? I would probably stay with a good 1800 3s and just prop up ...not sure how big the stock prop is though... i just found a bunch of Graupner carbon rc props i had from over 11 years ago...this boat seems to be a little rocket with great handling and performance potential for sure...PS do props screw on or is there a lock nut that tightens it against the drive dog?thanks
100% safe to run 4s with the stock set-up yes.
Can't find any info on it but the prop is 30mm from tip to tip and quite aggressive pitch, personally I like this prop and running 4s.
A bigger prop with the small motor even on 3s would be too much resistance and drag as I did try a larger prop and lost a lot of top end speed and rpm.
And the props are held on to the drive with a locknut, props are not threaded.
@@rccrazy this is true,and over propping causes heat fire and destruction .not sure if you jumped up to a 31 or 32 dia or a 34 plus dia.?.. the key if never to lose rpm..Go up a little at a time and test..Iam almost postiive from watching several videos of this little beast you can get a very decent amount of performance propping a little more.
It was a 31mm, less aggressive pitch but the blades faces were wider than stock by like 1.3mm I think, that may have been the main issue.
Could have been slightly off balance aswell witch can cause actually a lot of drag and resistance at times I've noticed.
I know I'm no RC boat guru but I'm trying my best🫤
best review
Thank you very much, i really appreciate that!
I'm glad you enjoyed it🙂👍
tell me after couple of test did anything break of the boat or something wear bearing or motor or loosing
Everything was perfect, no loose grub screws, normal screws and nothing broken👌
The motor was even cool enough for me to consider running 5s witch apparently the stock ESC can handle😯
@@rccrazy thank you
If you add more weight in the back it will less likely nose dive
Yes you are probably correct, make sense👍
@@rccrazy yes I bought one and it’s about to come in and I will make sure to do it to mine
Brackish water for that boat?
What?
It's a lake, how is it brackish🤣
@@rccrazy no no I mean does it work in brackish water?
Oh sorry!
Personally I don't but you could drive them in any water as long as you give it a good clean afterwards and most likely need to re grease the shaft to prevent rust.
No your good thanks for the reply! i do grease the shafts I have a smaller boat it does ok but not too fast so I may upsize to this boat new sub too
Thanks heaps mate!
Just so you know though, I don't really do boats on the channel anymore so possibly no new boat content, not any time soon anyway.
Apologies mate!
Is this boat faster and better than the Feliun FT012?
I've not had the Feliun FT012 so I'm not sure sorry.
Yes. FT012 would need a few mods to match what this one does stock.
ruclips.net/video/qwnloQRluHg/видео.html
Here's a video of a guy who swapped over FT011 ESC, motor, drive shaft, prop and the 4s battery. It performed like this one. WL916 only needs the 4s battery to perform like this video! Out of the box performance with the 3s is still very fast and better than FT012
Excellent!
Thanks for helping by providing this info👌
@@rccrazy Anytime! Just ordered my boat and am playing the waiting game lol. What other size 4s batteries can we use without causing issues with fitment?
The 4s I used in this video was the biggest I could fit, any bigger and the lid hits and either doesn't allow the latch to lock or leaves a big gap in the seal.
Just order 2 or 3 lipos😅
Add some spray foam in the nose
Sa ne. Chaufe. Pas. En. 4 s. ?
Not very hot, it was fine👌
