I collect RC vehicles. I have six helicopters, six cars, six trucks, two boats, a backhoe, three drones, and an Abrams tank. This is the third RC boat that I have ordered, and it is a sweet little single motor boat. Right out of the box the boat is almost ready to go. It comes complete with the boat, the controller, one boat battery pack, and a USB battery charging cable. You need batteries for remote. The one thing it did not come with is an actual battery charger. I have several old Samsung cell phones, and the charger from one of those works well to charge the battery pack. As I said, the boat is a really attractive blue, with shark graphics on the hull and LED lights. The boat is only 12" long. It is better to use it in a smaller pond with smoother water versus out in a lake. I don't think it would do very well in large waves. It is fast and responsive though.
