You had the boat on it's slowest setting to try the self-righting. If you turn it up to full power I think it would have worked!!! Can you please see if it make's a different?

Self tighter will work if the throttle is on high

The self righting may well work,if the motor had been in it's fastest setting. Obviously the low speed didn't supply enough torque.

the boat dident flip over...was it because you were on low speed...flip it back over and try it on the fast speed may make the difference...moter will have more fliping power on hi than on low

ProBoat makes good stuff. I have their PBR (same type of boat as in the film Apocalypse Now), which is very scale, and has two water jets, which are used both as propulsion, and steering, since there is no rudder. It was a boat designed to travel in shallow inner rivers in South East Asia, and it was very good at its job. The scale ProBoat version is lots of fun to run! The off-brand I am guessing doesn't have a strong enough motor to give it the torque to flip itself, which is something I can see a cheaper spec versions doing. The both look almost identical, and I am guessing they are probably both made in the same factory, but ProBoat give is upgraded motors and other parts.

I think the problem with the self righting is the wing on the top catching the water. I have a Flytec version of this boat without the wing and it rights just like the proboat. Actually I thing both boats are built by the same company. Removing the wing would probably solve the problem.. These are very fun boats!

It didn't work because you threw it in upside down to start with which means no water got into the impeller.

Abby and Nate y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

love this channel and the integrity that is displayed

Maybe if there was a little water in it the het if the self-rite would work better? Great boat vid thanks Nate&Abby

The self right probably didnt work because of all the water that got into that top layer when it capsized.

Another great video. I was running mu UDI R/C Arrow, another of your past boat week recommendations, on a local casting pond. Unfortunately I nailed the steel water inlet pipe in the center of the pond. Flipped on its back, would not self right. 45 min later it floated to where I could reach it. When I arrived home, I found the video where you did an earlier test of both the Jet Jam & the knockoff. My JJ rescue boat is here. Keep up the fun work and keep me spending money!

Very fun little pool boat! 😀

i would of liked to see you try and flip it in the higher speed mode

I would definitely buy the PROBOAT with the MUSTACHE!! AWESOME save ABBY!! Thanks Saylors!! 💟👍😘

Thanks for the vid, I needed another rescue boat and just picked it up 5 minutes ago for $84 canadian taxes in!

Love the vids keep up the good work

thats some quality content right there. from Alberta Canada

Maybe when it was at speed buttons on high . It might flip back up right?? I'm just thinking?? When u hit recovery button also..

the self righting may work on a higher speed

Did you try the no name Brand boat in high speed to flip over

I bet it would self-rite it it was on full power

You need to turn the speed all the way up for self-righting.

Great content as always. I wonder if the self righting would have worked in high speed mode. Either way I think I'm passing on this knock off boat. The proboat one looks much better with the catcher on the front. I'm thinking of getting the Feijue (spelling?) one that was like 140 dollars and came with a 3S Lipo. That one looked fun for a relatively low entry. I do love the idea of a recovery boat! I wouldn't want to get in the water I plan to use an RC boat in. haha. Have a great day!

You two are absolutely awesome, the wife and I both love watching your videos. Keep it up! Definitely could have used or should I say should have invested in one of these specifically for a rescue boat. Lost my boat today... should have known better

Very similar to my old Hobbico Brushless "Reef Racer 2" I purchased at Tower Hobbies back in 2005......and it still runs great!

Still having massive fun with the flytec v008 (previous version) with which the self righting button works perfectly. Picked it up a while ago for just €45,- and have no regrets ever since 😄

Maybe the self righting would have worked if you had the speed set to max.? Then maybe the trust would have been enough to flip it

Hey RC sailor’s i watch all ur videos, only channel on youtube having a good content of RC boats , planes and cars, thanks alot

I bet that wing is keeping it from Self writing just a thought if it comes off !!

Looking good...👌

That was neat that it had the ?spoiler? on the canopy. Looked pretty quick.. should have raced the two, see if they were the same speed - we know that it didn't have the self righting. (See if the same besides that)

I'm looking for a larger jet boat, closer to 1/10 scale to pull behind my truck. Do you have something for me to look forward to?

Link doesn't work.

Thanks for another great review! It would likely be self righting if it didn't have that wing.

Same here, I’m subscribed, get notification but by the time I can act on them it’s all over, how about a video trview with a warning that a deal is forth coming!! We can be ready for it then, on make the deal longer please!! Good videos on a pleasant note .x

Maybe high speed mode would make the reset button work

They are both in the toy grade class, so either will do. Fei Lun started it all. I have viewed many of these 13" and 17" brushed motor boats since 2015, and the "works" inside are nearly identical. Rudders too. They all copied off the very successful Fei Lun FT009 and smaller FT007.

Boat Week is Fun to Watch! 🤗

guys I love your channel ! wich is the fast black boat you showed at the begginingof the video ? thanks !

Would it work if you had it on the third power setting?

I hit on that pro boat link.. and it's goes to something else an error page Nate and Abby.. on my cellphone.. but the other links working well.

nate when you tried the self righting feature you had it on low speed you would probs have to have it on high speed to do it you'll have to try it and let us know how it goes

Are there any like battleship rc boats like the U.S.S Missouri? Just wondering...?

great recovery!

Hi love the boat

HH & TH are smart to be having 2 day sales instead of just the one day flash sales. I've missed so many of their one day sales because I generally just check my email once a day in the early AM and not again until the next day.

Just tried to use the coupon code. Wouldn't let me. Not sure why, but it said coupon cannot be added.

404 Error from Pro Boat Link!

I have one to help me place a fishing bait in spots I can't cast to. The price is right and fun to play with if the fish aren't biting.

Hi my friends! You need to try the self righting with the speed on high... 😉

Kinda early squad where you guys at and loving boat 🚤 week ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️😎😎😎😎

Are you finally gonna sail that boat Nate? ( Compas sailboat)

Cool good as you say fire the money. 😊

Great vids. Ever do any rc tanks?

Stop making me buy boats!! 😅🤣

Hi. Do you guys still have jetjam proboat on sale?

Cool vid, I like how you guys mix it up, but PLEASE fly and review the eflite 1.2m P-51 June Nite. If you do, everytime I buy from Horizon, I'll use your links for all my future purchases. Nate says he's a P-51 man, but he's yet to review one of the most beautiful birds on Horizon's website. You guys are awesome! Great content.

If you take that knock off back to the lake, or just fill up a tub, and remove that top with the goofy spoiler, then try its self righting. That china knockoff you have had on your channel from back when you first showed off the proboat, has the same kind of 1 button recovery this knockoff had, and it does exactly the same thing, but without that thing on top it easily flips over. I was able to add a scoop to its front with my 3d printer (did have to drill a hole in the front of that knockoff to mount the scoop) to allow my friends and i to recover disc golf discs that ended up in the water. But at the price, i went ahead and ordered the real one today. hopefully its scoop will be as good as the one i made for the other boat

You need to test out the sumersible.

Does the self righting feature need the speed setting on high by chance?

look fun

What are the top 3 rc boats around below 150$ that you have reviewed?

3:10, just stick an adjustable velcro with a few flat fishing lead on the side of the boat...

Why not print a 3d part using that accessory as a template and maybe even emprove the design of it maybe even a quick snap on attachment? Keep up the good vibes guys ✌️✌️

Since they look the same would the catcher fit on the off brand one

try with high speed set to rest and turn?

Maybe it will self right itself if the speed is on fastest. You tried to self right on a low speed. Try again

Hey I finally broke down and bought a quadcopter. I got it online and one of the motors doesn't work. I need to find out type of motor it is.

just found your channel while looking for a RC pool boat; just tried to order the white version of the Proboat but the coupon code "SPRING" and its not valid anymore. Anyone else have a discount code; gonna leave the item in my shopping cart for a few days to see if anyone responds. thanks!

Grate show grate Family hello from California..Got me maken Videos now#Ca#Brusless#Millerton

I do Boats also, not just Airplanes. I modified the Pro-Boat 55 Blackjack to electric. got tired of having to get into my Kayak to save it when the Weed whacker motor would conk out. i live on the Intercoastal waterway and if I don't get them, will end up in Savannah. Now using a Power 120 electric and now no problem. Speed gunned it at 100 Mph. Screams !!!!!!!! have Fun. Arrgh CM.

You guys should do a load test on the capabilities of the water jet. How much weight could it push typically push/towboats are not jet powered due to the lack of torque that a traditional prop provides. In real life water jet drives operate more efficient at higher RPMs.

I'm not a big boat person,you and the wife make it look great ,Do you know of any submarines on the market that may be a good price

No discount coupons?

Tried to buy on 24th but no discount, still $99 !!

I purchased a felun boat you guys recommend on here and it was from bangood paid 80.00 $ for it came 6 months later and didn't work I put it in water and it still doesn't work not very happy. Thank you but I'll be more careful with my money in the future

Pity they don’t ship to the U.K. would have been awesome to get it for 60 dollars. Although I’m sure the postage would have pushed it over what it would cost to get it here at £93. I need to be getting one of these as a recovery boat.

Take that spoiler/wing off and it will self right.

Maybe the self-righting didn't work because it was on low speed.

Excellent 👍😉👏👏 🇲🇫🐓

Wanted to get this for recovery link came up 404 error bad link

How about a prop version

Turn the speed all the way up and try self writing again let us know in next video if it works then

If the branded option is cheaper its a no brainer go for the branded.

Maybe if you had the speed turned up it would self right

Knock Off VS Name Brands? I actually remember a time when there was something to it. Now a days they are made well the same. I remember a time "Name Brand" was actually worth the mark up, now name brand means needless mark up.

You have to have the trim on high power before it will flip its self

I rather buy knok off brans than i change electronics with hobby grade electrics😊

It's 4/22 and the code is invalid!

they are legit mini jet ski's lol

I think you may have screwed up again. I don't think youhad the boat in high power when you tryed to self right it.

hi

"Flytec V009" have "Reset button" Auto correct

Range ?

If you switched on to the highest speed and then tried to flip it it would work.

Have yous given up on truck's? Boats and planes are boring... But I do enjoy your videos as there's honest... But Dang we need some trucks.. Not the cheap banggood or Amazon specials... 😉

Did someone already say it here? Don't ya think the boat should have been on "high" speed before testing self-righting? Only fair.
