    Still have it today, it was my first boat back then (almost 9 year, time flies O.O)... Today, it's my son's first boat and he loves it !!

    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!

    I have the smaller RC boat but same brand, Thanks for the video! Like to have the one that you have because its water cooled mine just has a fan inside to keep the motor cool but still goes great!

    What a coincidence I just found this exact model online & came to RUclips to find a review on it & your vid was on the top of my home page👍 This is a great little boat for the money & I like the green although they come in various colors. The boat runs well & is very sturdy as your high speed collision with the rocks shows. The self righting feature works perfect, the boat has pretty good speed & the run time is impressive. I give this RC boat a 9 out of 10 for good construction, Great Value & performance👍👍 Thanks Captain Crunch for another Informative & Completely entertaining review on a great product ❤

    • @miguelsalami
      @miguelsalami 4 года назад +1

      On a side note in the review "The Captain" states the water to cool the motor enters on the side of the hull. It actually enters through the tube in the back of the boat and exits out the side on the hull.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  4 года назад +1

      Yeah, this was my first ever RC boat, so I got that bit wrong about the water intake.

    • @miguelsalami
      @miguelsalami 4 года назад +1

      No problemo nobody's perfect. My ft009 came in the mail yesterday this is my first electric boat the ones b4 were hobby grade nitros & way too expensive so just want some inexpensive fun RCs to play with. I ran 009 today in my pond & it ran & worked flawlessly & no water inside it after. I ordered the ft012 yesterday from walmart.com your review on that one sold me too. Thanks Captain👍👍

    You are my go-to when I begin to research new RC toys I'm thinking of getting. I saw a guy with an RC boat at a nearby lake and checking out your videos. Thanks! You also helped with a few Helis I bought. Don't have a bust yet.

    • @theimacman

      Glad to hear that! :) RC boats are an absolute blast! :)

  • @edc2091

    I have 3 of these and they are great for bashing around in the water for sure

  • @steves6557
    @steves6557 9 лет назад +1

    Ordered one, it arrived yesterday late. Got the necessary charging adapters [I'm not waiting 3-6 hours using wall charger] and whoosh! Does this baby fly. Already made mods to the rudder to turn sharper [in the pool] and bypassed the water pressure/safety switch. Ordered another, so we can have some smashing fun.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад +1

      Steve S You should check out the brushless FT012!! My review is still in the works, but here's a little teaser of the running video: facebook.com/video.php?v=514454405374605&set=vb.155742354579147&type=2&theater

  • @steves6557
    @steves6557 9 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the info on the batteries and charging. I was hesitant to get one of these babies because of the long battery charge time, [the ad said 4 hours, I believe].
    Knowing I can use my LiPo charger with a mini-Tamiya and charge in an hour has me ready to pull the trigger.
    Thanks again Flyin' Ryan!

  • @EthansAviationYYC
    @EthansAviationYYC 8 лет назад +1

    I got this exact boat yesterday, except I got the orange version, and it is a little bigger than I thought!!! I haven't run it yet, but it looks really cool!!!!

  • @williamdyer8498
    @williamdyer8498 9 лет назад +2

    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.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      William Dyer Thanks! When this boat hits LVC, it will slow down, giving you plenty of time to get it back to shore. :)

    • @jasonpersaud5259
      @jasonpersaud5259 6 лет назад

  • @tedsiarkowski2859
    @tedsiarkowski2859 4 года назад

  • @thequeensconquerer316
    @thequeensconquerer316 8 лет назад +1

    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.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  8 лет назад

      +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.

    • @thequeensconquerer316
      @thequeensconquerer316 8 лет назад +1

      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. :)

  • @MatthewFant
    @MatthewFant 9 лет назад +2

    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!

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      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! :)

    • @MatthewFant
      @MatthewFant 9 лет назад +1

      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...

    • @ChaddeQuevedo
      @ChaddeQuevedo 9 лет назад

      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 (ruclips.net/video/vVVL79SkbTo/видео.html). Great review as always and FT009 looks like it has some kick to it.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад +1

      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. :)

  • @thafactor24
    @thafactor24 9 лет назад +2

  • @EcoSpeeder
    @EcoSpeeder 9 лет назад +1

    Hey Maritime Ryan,
    That's a winner there. Since you seems to like it so much I have abit of armchair mech advice you might find helpful----
    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.

  • @Rugerman205
    @Rugerman205 7 лет назад +1

    Great video!! Definitely on my list for a first RC boat 🚣 especially with the self righting

  • @SnapPunchRobert
    @SnapPunchRobert 9 лет назад +1

    Really nice boat there bro. That sucker is pretty quick. I may just have to get me a boat too. Never had a boat so that'd be cool. Thanks for share, and 15:18 is cool. Too cool.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      SnapPunch Robert It's so much fun! And that self-righting feature is so cool, and gives so much confidence in just driving this thing however hard you want, and not having to worry about going out to rescue it. :)

  • @RCManiacs
    @RCManiacs 8 лет назад +1

    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

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  8 лет назад

      Nice! This is a great boat, and it sounds like you made it even better. :)

    Welcome to boating.You will love it more when you go brushless.Nice review as always 👍

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад +1

      ***** Yeah, I can't wait! I am already eyeing a Pro Boat catamaran, like the Miss Geico or Blackjack. :D

    • @kudalkarshadab
      @kudalkarshadab 9 лет назад

      Both are good.The miss geico 29 has an 80 amp esc.i love this neon green boat hehe.the blackjack 31 has a bigger esc.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад +1

      ***** The Miss Geico 17 (brushed) is the only size still for sale, at least on Horizon's site. And I was looking at the Blackjack 24, since that is brushless, but still rather affordable.

    • @kudalkarshadab
      @kudalkarshadab 9 лет назад +1

      Yeah the new brushless blackjack 24 is good too.aquacraft has a good range as well.

    seeing this, and you talking about the charger reminds me of the good 'ol days, where people said things like "it's a TRICKLE charger!" lol I'm sitting here waiting on you to say it's slow almost like a TRICKLE charge, not a balance charge haha good work bro keep it up!

  • @elliotttodd795
    @elliotttodd795 9 лет назад

    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.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      Elliott Todd Yeah, I've been corrected on that several times now. heh This is my first ever RC boat, so it's a pretty minor mistake considering that. :)

  • @steves6557
    @steves6557 9 лет назад +3

    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!

    • @theimacman

  • @Doggeslife
    @Doggeslife 9 лет назад

    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.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      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. :)

  • @jamessommer6077
    @jamessommer6077 4 года назад

    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.

  • @mitchellcook9830
    @mitchellcook9830 9 лет назад +1

    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

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      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. :)

      OllieTheCat2012 The fact that it came in green, on top of having self-righting, meant there was simply no way I could *not* buy this! hahaha :D

      Chaitanya Breed I review any RC that interests me. :) This is my first boat review, and I have another one coming next week.

  • @Codybear09

    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.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      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.

    @thijss1272 9 лет назад +6

    lol captain Ryan, i realy like to see you having fun with your rc's :)
    nice vid, more boat's :)
    but the cooling is other. it's take's water from the back and the screw schoots it out on the bodem (i also got a rc speedboat)

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      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?

    • @thijss1272
      @thijss1272 9 лет назад +1

      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

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      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.

    • @thijss1272
      @thijss1272 9 лет назад +1

      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?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

  • @thomasdebiase1460
    @thomasdebiase1460 9 лет назад

    Nice starter boat. FYI the water is picked up from the water pickup at the rear of the boat and exits out that hole in the bottom. What is the price?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      +Thomas DeBiase Yep, I've gotten a ton of comments about that. ;) Pretty minor mistake for my first boat review. :) Price and purchase link can be found in the video description.

    Very cool! Know of a source for a battery pack plug converter/adapter to allow the use of 7.4V Lipo packs with other power connectors?
    What camera do you have mounted to your cap bill? Great video.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  9 лет назад

      Winston Smith I usually find adapters like that on eBay, though I think it's really best to solder on the correct plug type, since using an adapter can limit the power flow. The camera I use on my hat is the Mobius Action Cam.

  • @wildeb33stproductions61
    @wildeb33stproductions61 7 лет назад

    Hey Ryan, I just bought a ft009 boat and have a quick question. How do I remove the flex shaft so I can regrease it? Other boats have collars which you can loosen up with two wrenches but I don't see that on here. If yo could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 лет назад

      Unfortunately, I have no idea... I never did any maintenance on this boat, and I have since given it away to a friend.
