I was crazy over this boat. When I first got it I ran the factory Nimh battery to see how it would do, It did great. I had bought the recommended Reaction lipo and switched out comp propeller with a stainless steel propeller. After greasing shaft I took back out with lipo and new propeller. This is night and day on performance. The boat was incredibly fast with lipo battery. I was on the massive pond in our neighborhood and drew a crowd very quickly. I thought about getting a faster boat but this one is plenty fast enough. A boat this quick under 200 dollars is amazing. Seriously, my mouth dropped when I hit the throttle. I was not expecting a brushed boat to perform like this.

I got this boat for Christmas and I have had no problem yet.one time I have had it on full throttle and I ran it onto the rocks and striped the driveshaft but that's fixed know. I have turned it so hard but it has yet to flip. on time I threw it in and the little rubber receiver cover came off and I have yet to run it since. this was first boat I've owned and I have had no practice with any kind of rc boat but I took it to the water and it had simple controls. This boat is good for kids and there's a kid down the street that loves it and I let him drive it sometimes. Every time I take it out it draws a crowd and I get oh's and ah's and every time everyone wants one.I love this boat.

I just got my Stealthwake and I've been surprised by how much fun it is! I typically run my Voracity in search of faster and faster speeds but sometimes the water conditions are a little to rough for speed runs or I just want to run a boat around with no goal in mind. This Stealthwake is perfect for that! When the water gets to rough, I throw in the Stealthwake and jump waves. It makes me smile. The deep-V really does a great job of handling waves and choppy water. I haven't stuffed, flipped, or rolled it yet and I have been running it fairly hard. This should be a great starter boat or would be excellent for responsible kids.

I got this boat to bring to the lake on camping trips. It hasnt gone camping yet but it has hit the smaller urban lakes numerous time. I call it my "go-to" boat. It has been flawless from day one. I don't worry about anything with this boat, I put a battery in it and it goes. It is suprisingly fast for a simple brushed motor system. It is just barely slower than one of my brushless boats of the same size. It gives nice long run times on 6-cell nimh batteries, fast, nimble, handles like a dream, and takes on choppy water and wind like a boss. I liked it so much that when my son's outdated Dumas Watt-Wizard gave him more fits than fun, I talked him into getting a Stealthwake like mine. He got one now and he absolutely loves it. I added two zip ties around the motor cooling coils to hold them tighter to the motor for more efficient cooling and I modified the water outlet by putting a 1/2" long piece of 1/8" diameter brass tubing through a 1/2" square, 3/16" thick plastic block, and glued to the inside of hull at the existing water outlet hole. Connect the water outlet tubing to the brass tubeing inside the hull. It give a less restricted water flow and better cooling. I also drilled out the water pick-up and installed a 1/8" diameter brass water pick-up tube that I made. This really increased the water flow. My motor is barely warm after a 7-8 minute full throttle run on 6-cell nimh, and just a little warmer after a 2s lipo pack.
This boat is perfect for ant first time boater or experienced boater. You just can't get more bang for the buck than this one. Absolutely worth the price.

This is a great boat, faster than I thought it would be. My grandkids and I put it through its paces and had a great time. I need to buy another one.
