It may be Stealth in name, but it's far from stealth in nature, as this twin motor speed boat screams along at an astonishing 30kmh! This big sexy black beast is 73cm long and all power. Unlike the petrol driven pro-RC models that take hours of tinkering with for just a few moments of enjoyment, the Stealth Speed Boat will dash round your local pond at ludicrous speeds for up to half an hour from a single charge - no doubt terrorising all and sundry, and leaving all other RCs (and quite a few ducks) floundering pathetically in its wake. The twin motors make steering amazingly responsive (it'll turn on a dime), and a clever safety feature ensures that the props won't spin when they're out of the water - so you won't be picking your fingers out of the pond. We've already said how fast it is, but have we really got that across? Because even though we knew it was fast, we had no idea what 'really fast' actually looked like until we saw this thing go. Heck if it had wings it would have taken off, and the local hot shot ducks were depressed enough already without giving them even more of an inferiority complex. Of course aside from shaming the local wildfowl, there was the sweet enjoyment of watching the RC nuts with their £100 boats turning green with envy and sulking over their thermoses.

Oh my! What a machine! The flock of geese on a nearby lake had never seen anything like it, needless to say I tried my best to bring the fowl and this water fiend as close together as possible. Just one suggestion - how about adding a BB-firing capacity (like the one on your RC tank) to the bow for ultimate supremacy of the waves?!

The stealth speed boat is great with high speed and can honestly say I take it to the pond nearly every day.

Where to start is more the question. I've never been so satisfied with any r/c vehicle in my life. As a small child I raced r/c cars at my local club and was very successful. I would race these cars round and I had about 4, each one worth about £300. After every race I would have to strip them down and prepare them for the next race, was great fun. I saw the stealth boat on the internet and thought to myself should I get that? £40. Not a lot of money at all. Turns out the stealth boat is an awesome machine! Sooo much fun! The thing that most impressed me about iwantoneofthose.com is the delivery. I ordered the stealth boat at 4pm on monday afternoon and the boat was on my door step within 16 hours! Great service! I only paid for standard shipping too! I thought what is the the next day going to be like if standard's this fast! I would recommend the stealth boat to anyone! My little brother who is 9 was having a go and seemed to have mastered it within no time! The stealth boat can go on any water!! I had it on seriously choppy waters and the boat still worked just as well, quite a handful but very good fun! Scared the other boats off!

Oh my god! There is only one way to describe this awesome boat, and that is by dancing with glee. Christmas Day was the best ever this year! I live on a farm and have a large pond, but I'm just off to a local lake, as the only problem with this boat is that you need more water space to enjoy it! It is superb! Whoever makes this boat I think I may be in love with them! (ducks did not think a lot and couldnt get out the way quick enough)

This boat is amazing!!!! Charged it, up took it down the local pond, and it was off like a bullet. Within minutes I was doing figure 8's and doughnuts all over the place, much to the disgust of the local swan's and ducks hehe, and at under £40 you can't complain, a must buy for anyone who is a kid at heart like me.

WOW!! As soon as we pressed the ON switch the Stealthy zoomed off into the distance, scaring all the swans and ducks and local wildlife. What a machine!! It's massive but really easy to use and great fun. Now I'm going to join a boating club and blast all the others out of the water! Just watch out for the spray from behind as it blasts off..

Irresistable - to put it bluntly. I got it for Christmas, and charged it up at about noon and was out there until it was dark.(tomorrow I will attach an L.E.D. light and will be out there till midnight). The geese (well swans) thought it was a mighty black beast coming to kill them, but my dog was it's main rival, still no match. The dog was left floundering in the middle of the lake after he had set off to gobble it up, or so he thought. This is a must buy if you have a dog, well...its a must buy any way....and no buts..

What can I say - the movie on this website does this boat no justice! I think it should have been mentioned that 0-30kph takes milliseconds and the boat without its battery pack weighs around 800g, so is very nimble and amazing fun, a great crowd stopper, with extreme speed and power. I have a friend who spent literally hundreds on a r/c boat which can no way near match its speed or agility in the water of this boat. My best ever buy! Will put a smile on your face but maybe not the local birdwatchers!!! Would recommend for all to buy!

So much fun. I've just taken it out on the Thames. It has one speed - FAST! The best bit is shooting across the wake after a proper boat has passed by. As it bounces around, you can make it turn on a penny and then do fly-by's to spray your mates! Having received it as a present, I'm now buying another so we can have races and double the fun.
