Ok, so I am new to the RC boat world and wondered the very same thing. There is plenty of room in the hull for expansion it would appear. The boat does well with what it came with and is a great starter boat for my 7 year old, I would love to see a lot more speed and Batt. Life. We get about 5 Minutes of runtime with the factory setup.

This little boat is made to its own specs. Deviate from that and you could loose the centre of gravity by redistributing unspecified weight around. Having lost the centre of gravivity you will lose the boats equilibrium and the performance of your boat will deteriorate to the extent you may not be able to successful use as you can now.

You absolutely do need to supply the electronics for the kit version. If you are not sure what that means, you might want to consider the "RTR" or ready to run version, which includes motor, speed control, steering servo, radio, etc., and will be cheaper in the long run.

tell them to type on google ft007 boat and companys in china will pop up, I have heard you will wait a long time month to receive parts but that's where the bulk of parts are maybe some in the states try amazon ft007 parts takecare good luck

Absolutely! I kept the original for an emergency spare. You will increase speed with this. You will be happy you replace it! Hope this helps.

I doubt it. If you lost the original paddle, don't worry about replacing it with the same one, as they're pretty poor paddles to begin with. Take the opportunity to get an upgraded paddle. A proper paddle makes a big difference. You can get a nice used paddle for about $50 (Craigslist, Used Surf Shop, etc.). Or browse around here on amazon, and you should be able to find something just fine in the $50-$100 range. Hope that helps!

Sure. At one time Revell sold the kit as a motorized version. Just weight the hull a bit. The main deck parts are still engineered to be removable ( to get to the batteries in the old motorized kit).

I don't think so. The part # for the motor you want is HC21ZE118 and it is a two speed motor. I found a new one on ebay for less that $75 and I'm sure that more searching will turn up what you are looking for at a reasonable price. Good luck.

Alex , I gave this boat to my son in law Neil Wattier, his email is wattier32@hotmail.com Please ask him ,he has the boat and I think it'll be faster talking directly to Neil. If I can be any other help please ask. Howard

I have a 22 ft tritoon boat and the shaft of Minn Kota Powerdrive V2 is plenty long enough. The trolling motor has plenty of power since it is 24 volt using 2 batteries. It has no problem moving the boat at 2-3 mph. Spend an extra $150 and get the remote control. Order separately and it installs on top of the motor. You can control direction and speed from anywhere in the boat.

Not sure what you had before, but I went from MinnKota 30 to MAX 50 on my inflatable pontoon (which has motor mount similar to yours) and the fit was the same -- just a little heavier. I've loved this upgrade. More power, infinite variable speeds, and longer run times. Made a big difference in my enjoyment on the water and my fishing success.

Yes! I have an older model that I keep on our boat & the only difference I have been able to discern is that the new one has the longer shaft, which I wanted. Otherwise, it is the same. Works wonderful! Sorry if you have asked before, but I have been very seriously ill.

I think you might have to buy the motor before you do check eBay sometimes I think they may sell the gears I am not sure.

I am always looking and I say yes,on eBay get to the guys that sell parts mostly and nave plenty of up graded motors for 1:14 1:18 and batteries and those 2alone would make a monumental difference and double the speed,beware that being a cheaper entry level car,it will have majority of plastic components as in gears for the 4WD system compared to Metal diff gears,aliminium drive shafts etc etc

It seems like you've paired the remote to both boats by mistake. I'm not sure how you can un-pair them sorry. If you do purchase another remote make sure you only have the correct boat switched on that you want to pair with first.

I can't say for sure but past experience with identical remote control cars did prove to be a problem as both cars were controlled by the same frequency. When the cell packs go bad I've had to replace them at our local hobby shop. This boat is a lot of fun. I bought it for my grandson(10). We run it on the lakes. Battery lasts about 30 minutes and the boat handles well.
