Cheerwing 25" Brushless RC Boat for Adults, 30+MPH Fast Remote Control Boat for Lakes and Pools

For plain bang for your buck, this boat really cannot be beat. It is well-constructed, fast, and turns on a dime. You really need a good size pond to get the full potential from this boat. It has good range on the remote. The self-righting feature works very well when the boat rolls over. Just hit reverse, hit forward, and hit full throttle and the boat pops right over, even with a heavy 5200 mAh battery in it. The boat has fully proportional throttle control and steering. It has throttle trim adjustment and rudder trim adjustment on the remote control. The result is that you have excellent control over the boat. It also has manually adjustable trim tabs in the back. I bought this for my eight year-old son and with some instruction and help he is able to use it by himself and has a ton of fun with it. It will also keep an adult occupied. The seller's page on Amazon could use some help. This is especially true in the extra battery department. For those that are looking and having a hard time finding what extra battery to buy, then here is the scoop. The boat comes stock with a 2500 mAh 3S 11.1v Lipo battery with an XT60 connector. If you are looking for extra batteries, then my testing came to this conclusion. You can fit an Hoovo 5200 mAh 3S 11.1v Lipo in the boat and still wrap the velcro battery strap about the battery. The link is here https://www.amazon.com/HOOVO-Battery-Softcase-Airplane-Helicopter/dp/B08YR15KQ8?ref_=ast_sto_dp That is the biggest that I could get to fit. If you use that battery, then the boat will sag to the left in the water and while running it will tend to make a left-hand loop instead of running straight. This tendency can be fixed by adjusting the rudder trim with the buttons on the remote. With the stock battery the runs straighter and is better balanced, but obviously you are going to have about half the running time. On the stock battery, if you are not full throttle the whole time, you will probably get 10 minutes out of it maybe more. What I would recommend for extra batteries is that you get the Hoovo 2200 mAh 3S 11.1v battery and just have more of them on hand for longer playing time. The link is here https://www.amazon.com/HOOVO-Connector-Helicopter-Airplane-Quadcopter/dp/B07MQT6YJN?ref_=ast_sto_dp As far as C ratings on the batteries I would not go above 80C to protect the stock electronics and motor. Another thing to note is that battery hatch does not seal perfectly. I solved this by simply coating the stock battery compartment seal with Dielectric grease. After our outing with the stock battery and 5200 mAh battery, which amounted to about 30 minutes or more of playing around, including 3 different rollovers, we had only a drop or two of water in the motor compartment when sealed with Dielectric grease. Overall, I would say that you will not be disappointed with how it comes out of the box and with a couple extra batteries you or your kids can have loads of fun.

This boat is awesome and a great option for beginners, especially if you want something larger. It’s not super fast, but it’s quick enough to be fun while still being very manageable. It’s easy to use, handles well for its size, and looks great on the water. Compared to most boats in this class, it feels quicker and more responsive. I’d highly recommend it for operators of any experience level.

Awesome boat out of the box. $60 metal upgrade kit for $60 takes it to another level in durability and performance. It's super fast, Large and alot of fun. I highly recommended buying at least 2 extra batteries.

This thing is amazing. I bought it for my 5 year old to use at grandmas lake house. It goes super fast, stays charged for a long time and has great range. My husband will steal it and play with it as well. It’s huge compared to the cheaper toy versions that are marketed for kids. Highly recommend! More money, but way more fun!

This boat is so freakin fast and turns on a dime. I live on a houseboat. I have ran full speed into my docks many times and this boat has survived. The steering is so super sensitive that it is easy to run into things if you are playing to close. I lost the cockpit cover on the second day.. I recommend taping it on and putting foam on it so it doesn'tsink. I crashed into my friends boat and the battery came loose and broke the water cooling line so it filled my boat up with water. I am having electrical issues but after it dried it will be fine. You can get all of the parts on this boat online but the delivery time is a month away. You can order extra batteries too. The battery plug is common so it is probable you can use other batteries but they will require a different charger. I just ordered a white one so my friends can play too.

I saw a youtube review by a husband and wife team that I trusted who shows the best aspects of the boat. I bought it based upon the review. I only was able to sale the boat only. It is fast actually very fast. It was the best 3:30 second of r/c boating I have experienced. While using the boat the range was less than 100 yards . I have a Harbour Freight boat that has double the range. That is right the boat only lasted 3 and 1/2 minutes, then the controller signaled that the battery was low and place the boat in 1/4 speed to ensure the boat was able to return to shore. Back in my home I opened the hatch and found 1 or 2 drops of water (excellent). I also found the battery connection fused and would not release. I checked the reviews and found one owner that had the boat catch on fire, so this was not a 1 off issue. I happily returned the boat. Please do not waste you time with this model.

I was sceptical at first but now that I own one my scepticism is gone. This RC boat is fast stock out of the box but I made it a little faster, I did the aluminum upgrades, run a 42mm-1.6p prop and changed the angle of the "trim/plane plates" from the stock 45° angle to a 42° angle. This boat is fast, easy to control, very responsive and very very fun to drive. I give this Arrow 5 RC boat 2 thumbs up.

Got this in April, 2025 and put it in the water within 2 hours. It's a fun boat, and stock right of the box it hit 23 MPH for me (I added a GPS odometer inside the inside cabin to verify). I've yet to adjust the trim tabs to see if I can gain a few more MPH, and I've got another propeller to try to gain a few more MPH. DO NOT DO THIS: I was able to mount a GoPro 10 to the top of this boat and got some cool shots, which I've included. Again, DO NOT DO THIS. I didn't have any issues, other than the boat running MUCH slower, but I expected that. And, the boat's self righting feature WORKED with the GoPro installed on the top of the boat. Since this is a VERY popular RC boat, you can purchase additional drive shafts, inside and outside cabins and extra batteries. Highly recommended as maintenance is quick and easy and we're having a BLAST with this RC boat.

I bought a new red boat and tried it 3 times. water leaked inside the hull each time. It reaches Lipo battery, motor and other components. I had to unplug the rubber plug to drain water after each drive. I dried the boat each time. I inspected boat body but nothing obvious. I even put plastic bag around both top covers to insure no water leaks from there. Yet, water is found inside with each drive. Cooling water tubes dont leak air when I blow air while closing the other end with my finger. I cant say it is safe to drive the boat in this condition. It is a high risk to LiPo batter, transmission device and motor. I will ask a question for the supplier to advise what can be done to fix it. Meanwhile, ill keep my review. I will update it if I got a positive response. The boat speed and handling is great. I would give it five stars rating if water leak issue is resolved.
