Nice video and great product again. Brands like WLtoys makes this hobby really affordable (while everything else is getting more and more expensive). It would be nice if these would also be offered as a "Kit" since I like to assemble this kind of stuff on my own instead of having it RTR. I do have a question though: How does it make you aware if the battery is low? My WLtoy buggy just "stops" and starts blinking - that would be somewhat inconvinient on a lake LOL
$110 is a great deal,but i had a seller offer me a brand new one for peanuts... That never happened before...i can't wait to see its potential ... i heard electronics don't even get warm on stock... finding a better prop will be my first improvement . thanks for sharing
Awesome video. Just started getting interested in boats cause there seems to be a pond everywhere I bash at. This video was to the point and love the drone shots and replays
Very good bots for the money👍These are FT012 remakes and have a FT009 I gave away after 6 yrs of use.Only got new battery’s for it and a new prop,and off to another to enjoy👍
Cool! It could be my next buy. Seems very fast. I had an Eachine before but it could reach 17 km/h. This seems to be faster. It is brushless. Mine was brushed.
Damn, im gonna have to get one of those. I bet changing the prop size you can get more speed out of it if you can handle it lol. I have a 1/10 scale truck i built from scratch that does like 80 mph. Not 80 as in scale speed, 80 as in if a real car does 80 I can keep up with it. I use it mostly for show since i have tons of money invested in it. All I'd need is a boat trailer. Either i could buy one or build it. I did however build a 1/10 scale car trailer from scratch. Needs finished when i get the time, but looks kool all at the same time. I even bought some diamond plate styrene for the floor. Lol, i get all into the major details like i do my model cars
My boat isn't working with the remote any more,suddenly it stopped responding with the transmitter .the battery and others are ok ,I guess I have to bind it again ,but don't know how .Any help ?
@aprivrt129 Yes this one does come with battery and charger, there's couple choices you can select from, you can get with two batteries and charger. The expensive boats and cars most of them sell without battery and charger. This a great entry level boat to get started.
When you turn over, when the battery alert sounds, you can't come back without returning to the original. At that time, there is no choice but to enter the water and go get it. (I am experienced)
anything is possible ,but a 3300 is way to big and would turn this boat into a submarine.. maybe try a 2000-2200 first... you never want to run boats over 8 minutes with out checking for heat and water in the cabin...boats are fun but use common sense or you will ruin it very fast...
Is this a rebranded ft012? The answer is NO. I've had the ft012 for a while and just got the wl916. The outer shells are very similar. However the internals are very different. You cannot use each other's controller. ie. the protocol is different. The feilun ft012 is the better boat. It is faster and has the better controller. The wl916 was more water tight. PS. Also the wl916 has an unexplained habit of diving under the water and becoming fully submerged and then after a few seconds popping back up. D’Oh!
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 got one. No chance with the stock battery tray. The battery tray is the same size as a 2s wltoys 2100mah battery trays on the new 124016-124019 RC car. With Velcro.
Mom, my boat goes 40 mph. Yeah I actually set a comment my mind my boat is faster it can go 40 mph check on the box. It does say that shower with mom. Can I try it in the pool since it’s a fast thing OK
That's the best bang for buck RC Boats I've ever seen period 👏 👌
Cool boat!
Awesome shots over the lake!!
BIG 👍to Fivo Nine
Thank you
Perfect little boat 🤩thanks for sharing fivo 😁👋🇫🇷

The remote beeps to warn you of low battery and out of range.
Awesome review and test mate🤘
It is fast for the price and it looks sweet!
I just ordered one to review myself, can't wait👍
Its fast and cheap, Ill be looking out for the review video 👍
Where did u buy it from

Hey im just wondering what you think of the boat because I might buy one but I havent decided yet
i never bought it..but it seems very good@@OswaldHollingworth
What's your verdict on this boat?
Awesome video. Just started getting interested in boats cause there seems to be a pond everywhere I bash at. This video was to the point and love the drone shots and replays
Wow, that's fast. Nice vid, great job! 💪
Great video man. And I’m already visiting a IAM-RC hobby shop.
Same here
that is bloody quick
Nice my lil boy loves the Wl toys 124016 buggy I think imm give this a try for sum summer fun

Nice I want to try out wltoys my four boys could be good for them
They are pretty decent. Only downside is finding parts for them

Just bought this boat bc of this video
killed it by trying to run a 4s battery, returned it and upgraded to a blackjack 24 😂
Thanks for the video !!
Nice vedio Sir,what prop u use CNC or copper what size Sir??
After watching ur review on this cool boat I ordered one for myself but due to extra dollar rate it costs 150$ for me In Bangladesh.
How waterproof is it? It would have been nice to see how much water was inside the boat after 10 minutes driving...
I forgot to add that part but I did film it, the inside was dry, not a single droplet 👍
I just ran mine in choppy windy conditions ... Ended up submerging the boat several times and also flipped it. Inside it was BONE DRY.
My boat isn't working with the remote any more,suddenly it stopped responding with the transmitter .the battery and others are ok ,I guess I have to bind it again ,but don't know how .Any help ?
You need to tease some knee-boarders next time out. That boat could have some purposeful panic value. ;o)
Very good value for money. My boat video shows my small one that cost like $70 but not as good this one.
Quantos minutos você brincou? Com a bateria dela?
Looks cool what camera did you use to get the onboard shots?
How many unite it run before battery out?
About 10min
Nice! Good review
How much water came inside the boat as for example after 20 minutes of run?
Honestly maybe a few drops, it was sealed tight very well
can you change the receiver ? i have a radiolink and want to connect that one.
What battery does it use and how long does it last?
How much does the wl916 RC boat cost?? I think it's cheaper than traxxas Spartan
@aprivrt129 this one cost about $115
Wow, the price is quite good
But the charger and battery are there when unboxing
@aprivrt129 Yes this one does come with battery and charger, there's couple choices you can select from, you can get with two batteries and charger. The expensive boats and cars most of them sell without battery and charger. This a great entry level boat to get started.
Ok bro Thank you very much👍👍
Hallo can the boat turn by himself wen he is upside down thank you
Salut combien fait le bac à lipo en CM merci
When you turn over, when the battery alert sounds, you can't come back without returning to the original. At that time, there is no choice but to enter the water and go get it. (I am experienced)
Can this boat adjust velocity?? only works by 55km??
How long does the battery last?! And another question, will it be better than the hj816?! Thanks
around 15mnt
Looks like the Feilun 011. Is it the same boat
Yea it is just rebranded
It IS a fun boat!
How long did a full charge battery last ?
About 10 min
Salut ce preț are barcă asta și de unde ai cumpărat-o mulțumesc 😊
The control distance is how many meters
Says 150m
How did you fixed the action cam? Thanks
Gopro mount and using the Insta360 Go 2 cam
What brushless motor does it have?
i would attach to this my HD zero setup ;)
Bad ass bro
can you get parts for this thing
Yes there's couple sites that have parts for it. Just search XK WL916 Parts
Looking around, it looks like someone sells replacement parts on Ebay
I have the problem that the boat always dives. At first it was funny, now it's annoying. I didn't buy a submarine.
Does anyone have a solution?
Fish be like wtf is that thing
Would 4s 6000mah fit
Brackish water?
What if it flips over in a turn in the middle of the lake ?
Give it throttle and it flips over 1:46 check out beginning of it running on water I show it how it flips back😁
@@FortekNine oh thanks I missed that part
you still running this or has problems
Still running it 😁
1926 g Walter light fishing line grab it or not!!!! One day
Is it possible to install the 11.1v battery 3300mah? If not, how many mah batteries are available?
anything is possible ,but a 3300 is way to big and would turn this boat into a submarine.. maybe try a 2000-2200 first... you never want to run boats over 8 minutes with out checking for heat and water in the cabin...boats are fun but use common sense or you will ruin it very fast...

Have you solved this issue?
@@antonioa4814 it just went away on its own
@@antonioa4814 wait I think I had greased the shaft
Thats literally just a rebranded Feliun FT011 which has been around for a while.
It's more similar to the ft012 but it is different

Does it come with the battery
Yes
Do you think id be able to fit a zeee 3s 5200mah lipo in there?
I got one. No chance with the stock battery tray. The battery tray is the same size as a 2s wltoys 2100mah battery trays on the new 124016-124019 RC car. With Velcro.
@@davidtruelove5022 I’ve found that you don’t want to put too much extra weight ( battery) in these, or the performance will suffer.
Nice, had one fei 11 👍
What's the name of that lake?
Bear Lake
@@FortekNine my guess was Fish Lake but I'm wrong despite driving by it a thousand times to school !
Harga berapa itu
