Great little boat for younger kids or folks new to the hobby. However, the steering servo stopped working on the first battery pack. We shelved it and kept running other boats.

The components are easily accessible and can be easily upgraded. However, if you do opt for more power, consider a gyro. This boat is not “self righting” and is a pain if it gets out of control and flips.

Happy boating

Motor burned out fast after 3 runs, is that normal?

Low Run Times.

No warranty to it?

I purchased this boat from the Northbrook store. The sales person said I would get 15 minutes run time? Wrong lucky to get 8 minutes before it automatically slowed down to half speed. Small battery and it takes 12 hours to fully charge. Really long to charge and really short to run. The boat looks good and is easy to set up. The big issue is the boat it self runs slow. I have two Traxxas Blasts and they are big , fast and run for a minimum of 15 minutes maybe a bit longer. The battery in the Traxxas is twice the size and can be charged in about 2 hours or less vs 12 hours for the Geico. I'm very disappointed with the Gieco and disappointed with the staff at Northbrook Hobbytown sales people who were not knowledgeable enough to communicate the correct information to me on the Gieco electric boat.
