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 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.

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.

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 I liked it so much that when my son's outdated Dumas Watt-Wizard gave him more fits than fun, I talked him into getting a Stealthwake like mine.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.

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.
