UDIRC UD1005 - 630mm Brushless RC Boat - Unboxing, Review and Running

[@CALDW3L]

Great review! Ordered mine yesterday.

[@seemoretoys5944]

Enjoy. Works best in smooth water but I do like to jump boat wakes.

[@nuzhahbassoo397]

Hello.. where did you order please?

[@roderickrayrutledge2740]

I run my stock Arrow on 4S all the time. It's a different beast on 4S! I've never had any problems with overheating anything!

[@seemoretoys5944]

I'll have to try it. Thanks. Been so busy lately that I did not run her all Summer. I'll make up for it next year.

[@BillEvans-o3u]

This is the arrow 05 that I was telling you about.

[@generac43]

👍Looked pretty fast!

[@seemoretoys5944]

It's quick but, it can always go faster (Until it's not in the water...) Thanks for watching and your comment!

[@dalegunning9044]

Hi mate if you change the battery connector to deans and get the ovonic 3s 3000mah battery it fits in that boat and it gives U more run time

[@seemoretoys5944]

Thanks. I'll check into it. Just waiting for the lake level to come back up this Spring.

[@talismenf2253]

Restocking. Place on backorder and hope for the best.

[@gasisthepastendoil]

It turns so sharp I don't see how it could be fast..... I've never seen a professional race boat turn that sharp?

[@seemoretoys5944]

You have to turn down the power (slow down) to turn effectively in both fast small RC boats and real life fast boats (Offshore racers, Bass Boats, etc...). If you turn to quickly, going to fast, the prop will come out of the water and very quickly the ass end of the boat will change places with the front end. That is why a boat operator should always wear the kill switch lanyard. The quick change of the boat's direction can throw the operator overboard. Then, the boat turns hard left, circles around, and runs over the operator, striking him with the prop. In the USCG, I have seen the aftermath of that and it wasn't a pretty sight.

[@dalegunning9044]

You can run 2600mah in them too mate U should get yourself a couple more batterys you can get 3s 2200mahs on eBay for $20 each

What connected does this boat have

[@julianalcool8353]

Good rc

[@seemoretoys5944]

Def worth the $$$

[@AbbyRCToys]

Which one would you recommend between UDI005 and UDI022? And which color looks good for UDI005 red color or white?

[@seemoretoys5944]

I like the 05 but the 022 is pretty cool looking. I like the 05 in white.

[@parker1ray]

Ease into the throttle and it will be less likely to roll from torque!

[@seemoretoys5944]

Thanks!

[@schleimigerhelmling6763]

Hi. Nice Toy😬. Rocket! Is it self righting? Is there anything to consider? Greetings from ben from Germany.

[@seemoretoys5944]

Yes, it does self right by hitting forward to reverses quickly. I have also hit a wake and submarined the boat. She was underwater for 10+ seconds. It finally popped up and was mostly dry inside after the run... Mostly.

[@schleimigerhelmling6763]

@@seemoretoys5944 where does the water get in? don't you use tape?

[@schleimigerhelmling6763]

And why it is so fast on 3s? Because bigger Motor?

[@seemoretoys5944]

@@schleimigerhelmling6763 Stays pretty dry but water will enter through the prop-shaft.

I bought one of these with an 80C 3s 3000mah battery upgrade, and have three other boats as well to include a Vector 80 Pro with metal propellor upgrade and 4s 100C graphine battery. It does around 50mph!

[@seemoretoys5944]

Nice setup!

[@whereisbenny69]

What does this compare like to the vector?

[@carlosmms85]

What C rating can this boat handle with everything stock?

[@seemoretoys5944]

Not sure. Running stock battery which is 11.1V 2200mAh Lipo. Maybe a 4S?

[@dalegunning7691]

Don't forget to greese your prop shaft

[@seemoretoys5944]

Thanks, I always do.

[@rcmtb1052]

How long the battery last?

[@seemoretoys5944]

A little over 5 minutes.

[@dalegunning7691]

I've got 4 batterys for myn so I can run it right through the day run it give it a rest run another boat or too then run it again last all day

[@staydown.normal5323]

put a 4s in it

[@davemcguigan218]

Not suitable for the bathtub! Cool, fun toy!

[@staydown.normal5323]

ebay 135$

[@seemoretoys5944]

That's a good price but sometimes the cheap price comes with expensive shipping. I checked eBay when I bought mine but was not the best deal. It pays to shop around.

[@dalegunning7691]

The worst thing about these electric boats is the battries don't last long U only get like 5 mins they should make a battery that last like half hour

[@seemoretoys5944]

Yes, the short battery life is a bummer. I've been looking at some gas powered boats but not sure if I'll take the jump. May be sometime in the future. Bigger and faster is good.

[@dalegunning9044]

Yes I have a gasoline powered boat it's a great boat

[@dalegunning9044]

I also have the 2 Traxxas boats the Spartan and the M41 catamaran they are both really fast boats I also have the arrow and really like it

[@dalegunning9044]

Should get your wife out there with you she can drive your yellow one you drive that one

[@seemoretoys5944]

She's into fishing and magnet dipping.
