This RC boat was a lot of fun to try out. Setup was fairly simple with no assembly required other than inserting the battery, and it was nice to not have to deal with any screws on the boat to insert the battery. Although I still had to use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment on the remote control (and promptly lost the screw). There's no power switch on the boat, it senses it enters the water and powers on and is already paired with the remote.Forward acceleration is amazingly quick, rear power is so great it almost inundates the boat with water, but had no problem with water. The rudder turns with ease, and the controls are variable (unlike the RC cars which just have a "turn left" or "turn right" switch.) The posted video shows how sharp the boat can turn, we filmed this in our 12 foot diameter pool. The trim adjustments can be used to slow down the throttle range, though it compensates by idling the motor at different speeds, so it will not sit still when idle if trimmed.The one photo closeup of the remote shows an LCD display that shows the status of the controls, including a percent display of power. Unfortunately, steering control and throttle control both share the same percent indicator so it can be a bit confusing, but the remote seemed solid and smooth to use.All in all this is a great starter RC boat for young enthusiasts!
