Any positive reference to a rooster tail is lost on me. I know why it's there in legit powerful boats, but it's nothing but a side effect of lots of power. Nothing more.
You have to modify the internals but it can run 5s. Go look up A - Z tube and he has a tutorial on how to convert to 5s and buy links in his description.
Miguel Salami Not sure if that was Then ,but Now that link shows: Ships From: CN Shipping: Sold Out US$4.30 via USA Priority Mail Shipping time: 8-18 business days Maybe this part misread: “Free Shipping on orders over US$54.99” (Which also doesn’t match the shipping charge of $4.30 on a $130 order, admittedly) Drone Rich, you might want to change your link as this one shows Sold Out👍🏼
@@lymie9155 I thought you are supposed to kill your batteries plum dead before charging! Is that wrong? If so why and do different battery materials make a difference? Kinda newish to rc stuff I've only dabbled..lol....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s. stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS ❤I prefer nitro or gas because I hate dead batteries
Hi, had 1 question. While charging the battery, the red light stay solid not blinking or is it suppose to blink to indicate that the battery is charging?
Big? That thing is small, I had a fiberglass v-hull racer that was 60". But your's is quite fast for it's size. I mean it flat out gits it. Self righting feature is cool.
This boat is superior to the smaller FT012. Better electronics, better battery and much faster. Yes it costs more but if it is in the budget, the FT011 is the ticket. Order another couple batteries , a 3S 2200 pack works great. Also pickup a better charger, the charger included will charge the battery, but it takes hours and a NO battery and charger should EVER be left alone, especially lipo batteries. Buy a charging bag (about $12.00) This is one of ,if not THEE best brushless boat "bang for the buck" on the market. I have two and they are a blast to run & race.
In a another vid there is a little dial on the controller that you can adjust your cornering. I was a little nervous seeing that radius but then saw that video.

Thanks Jared, yeah I used the Blue Yeti USB mic for the voice-over section of this video. The 012 is awesome and the 011 is even more awesome haha. 🙏 Thanks so much for the support!
There's this YTber called A - Z tube who did a 5s battery mod and it goes FAST! Recently he has added a bunch of new metal parts and I'm guessing a test drive will come soon everyone should go check him out he also does RC Cars and other boats even some nerf modifications if anyone is into that.
I got a ft 12 thats been modified with a motor upgrade And battery with more power best of the best aluminum fins Just to name a few goodies payed 100 dollars for it with another 5 00 dollars in parts along
I got the ft009 and it's fast I would like to get your opinion on that boat as well but I will be buying the boat you video of and let you know what I think you can find video of my boat on rcreviewtv here on RUclips
I currently have this boat... ran this boat a summer and a half it started acting up because too much water gets in the boat... It's fried the speed controller I think , the boat is fast and handles well and the self righing works good... but the boat needs a better sealing compartment!!!
This boat is very fun except mine after about five min in the water it spun the push pin out of the drive shaft lucky my son had his boat in water was able to push to shore easy fix with alittle locktite
@@maddmavic Well I dont think their painted for 1. For 2 thats rude as shit that man can do what he wants. And for 3 there's lots of guys who paint their nails. Hell when I was in grade 3 I painted my nails?

This was my first boat and... it’s shit... the motor has exposed coils which after a little bit of water adds up... well they short circuit. Also the receiver system is intergratedin the esc system so you cannot change your transmitter. This year I got a Traxxas Spartan and my girlfriend has become interested in rc boating so because this boat is STUCTUALLY well designed (double covers, well balanced and flips over with the motor torque) I’m going to put more expensive electronics in em so she can keep up with my Spartan. And it’s a rather small boat, it’s like 40cm long...
If you're interested, you can buy this boat here: bit.ly/FT011Boat

They have a stop selling from dispatcher. Guessing they no longer make it? OUTSTANDING BOAT
Link works now
The water being sprayed up is called a rooster tail, its the Best part about boating
Any positive reference to a rooster tail is lost on me. I know why it's there in legit powerful boats, but it's nothing but a side effect of lots of power. Nothing more.
That’s the coolest part
@@joewoodchuck3824not. It’s a side effect of a surface piercing prop, no more.
Wonder if you can upgrade the battery?
Matthew Pederson sure u can
You have to modify the internals but it can run 5s. Go look up A - Z tube and he has a tutorial on how to convert to 5s and buy links in his description.
It costs ~$100-125 depending on where you buy it.
Yes, you can get it on Bangood: bit.ly/FT011Boat for $125 from a U.S. warehouse
$63.67 For Shipping❓ What's up with that if it's a U.S. warehouse.
Miguel Salami Not sure if that was Then ,but Now that link shows:
Ships From: CN
Shipping:
Sold Out
US$4.30 via USA Priority Mail
Shipping time: 8-18 business days
Maybe this part misread:
“Free Shipping on orders over US$54.99”
(Which also doesn’t match the shipping charge of $4.30 on a $130 order, admittedly)
Drone Rich, you might want to change your link as this one shows Sold Out👍🏼
Ouch!
Does it real has "low voltage prompt function"? I find some reviews saying it's a fake description.
I've never ran it long enough to find out. And it runs pretty damn long. Lots of fun for $130!
Very nice review about the boat and its characteristics - also good filming - Thank You !!!
gigantic??? really??
Were can i get this from and how much?
which one do you think i should buy the small one or big one
I wish this would go back into regular stock on amazon with prime shipping
I'm looking to purchase a RC boat but no information found here.
Boat size ? Battery size and type ? Motor Type KV & voltage ? ESC voltage and amps ?
These are good boats I've got the udi005 arrow it goes really good too
Which is better this or wl916?
Cuando lo enchufo al cargador la luz roja no para de parpadear cuando se que está cargada?
How do you know when the battery is exhausted before it dies completely?
It starts to get slow..
You can buy a battery warning piece that attaches to your battery.
I personally use volt meter or voltage alarm because if it drops too low you can ruin your battery or lower the life span.

@@DroneRich I bought this through your link. Love this little beast.
Wow this looks so fun!
Thanks for your review. Really fancy this boat now.
This is my favorite boat even from traxxas Spartan
Pretty cool looking boat. It's a good starter boat for a first time boat owner. Cool Vid! 😎😎

Surely you can adjust the throw on the servo or rudder itself to give better cornering than you have
In a another vid there is a little dial on the controller that you can adjust your cornering. I was a little nervous seeing that radius but then saw that video.
How long is it?
Hey I have a question if there is something in your boat when the battery is plugged in and the boat just stands around for about 10 minutes without being used it starts beeping because I bought it yesterday and it always beeps when not in use and the manual only says to disconnect the battery when not in use so I don't know if this boat has it or if it is broken ..
It is beeping to remind you to disconnect the LiPo battery inside. It is for safety reasons
Thks for sharing 😊
how is that boat running after being in salt water? My other boat didn't last a month from salt water corrosion
Unfortunately if you plan on running pretty much any RC boat in saltwater/brackish you will need to totally disassemble it and clean every part especially the electronics and hardware.
Don't learn the hard way like myself!
I saw another video recommending to spray corrosionX on all the components when going in salt water. His boat had lasted three years.
How long one battery lasts?
Buy a better charger than the one that come with the FT011.
The ones that came were cheep.
The one I received would not charge.
Does this apply for other RC Boats / other RC vehicles ?
EXCELLENT REVIEW👍👍 THANKS❗
$63.67 FOR Shipping❓ What's up with that tried link in your description. Can you get shipping free here in 🇺🇸❓
Nice boat will get one for RC fishing boat...👍👍👍
is this no longer made? Any alternatives in that size?
I just ordered this boat off of Ebay.
Can you use in saltwater/brackish
Is there really much difference between the 11 and 12 ?
Ask your wife
Awesome vid bro!! Great mic u have! I have the 012. I want this one too! Lol. God bless you my friend! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jared, yeah I used the Blue Yeti USB mic for the voice-over section of this video. The 012 is awesome and the 011 is even more awesome haha. 🙏 Thanks so much for the support!
@@DroneRich bro!! I ended up getting the sonicwake! Jesus Chroist! 💯
Can you buy this boat in Australia for the same price
Spray it with silicone spray will make it way more waterproof
Thanks for the tip!
@@DroneRich pour 40% nitro on it and throw a match . fly your drone over it and post video
is it self righting?
opps you just said it was!!!
What's the battery life span?
The reverse isn’t for reversing its for to flip the boat over if it’s flips
I have the same boat it does reverse 👍🏻
What is price
There's this YTber called A - Z tube who did a 5s battery mod and it goes FAST! Recently he has added a bunch of new metal parts and I'm guessing a test drive will come soon everyone should go check him out he also does RC Cars and other boats even some nerf modifications if anyone is into that.
There we go hitting the wall real quick, there 😂
That water pickup tube is huge
Only trouble is itbonly gives 10 mins operation per charge.
Which is quite good for this size of an RC boat
All FAST RC boats are like that They Love the juice🔥💛🔥
Where did you get it? What website?
eBay has them, different models of this reasonable cheap for what your getting
Get it frome ebay
I got a ft 12 thats been modified with a motor upgrade
And battery with more power best of the best aluminum fins
Just to name a few goodies payed 100 dollars for it with another 5 00 dollars in parts along
5.00 or 500 in parts..?
I would rather put that kinda money into a pro boat,the fei lun models are throwaway boats I’ve had this and the ft 12 for my girlfriend to use
I bought a pro boat impulse v3 for £350 a couple of years ago absolutely awesome bit of kit quality hull and quality electronics,very fast too
@@dazspurs9899there still fun boats bro! Lots of people like them

Same problem with my ft011
And even it doesn't take such sharp turns i don't know why i have done all the modifications
How much this boat
reverse can put water in the boats
No price in the descriptionnnnn..!!! 😦
Or in the video. He mentions about 50 times that it's cheap, and a really good value, but never mentions price. Down-vote it is...
Lowest price Ive seen on eBay for 121
@@Jeremy-kg1zr It is around $100 ~ 130 depending where you live, where you order it from, and shipping costs.
I have it! I love it!
Happy to hear it!
Where can I buy this boat anybody?
That my friends is a fast little boat.
It sure is, and incredibly fun too!
Good boat for low cost
Agreed!
How much
Hey Datu, there's a link in the description that has the price
This boat is very fun except mine after about five min in the water it spun the push pin out of the drive shaft lucky my son had his boat in water was able to push to shore easy fix with alittle locktite
Don't worry mate I've got 2 Traxxas boats that are 2x the size of that and a gas boat that's 1.5meters long
For 125$ that thing flies!!
I know right!? It's an epic boat for the price
