RTR means Ready to Run. The package includes the operating parts listed for the model, so you can start without sourcing extra core components.

• Charge the boat battery fully.
• Check transmitter batteries.
• Confirm the hatch is sealed correctly.
• Check the propeller and rudder for damage or debris.
• Test throttle and steering before placing the boat in water.

Use calm water with enough open space. Avoid weeds, sand, strong currents, waves, swimmers, and areas where you cannot safely retrieve the boat.

• No response: Check battery charge, connector, and transmitter batteries.
• Poor steering: Inspect the rudder, linkage, and steering trim.
• Slow speed: Check for weeds, damaged propeller, low battery, or rough water.
• Water inside hull: Stop using the boat, disconnect the battery, dry the hull, and inspect the seal.

Disconnect the battery, dry the hull, remove debris from the propeller, and leave the hatch open until the inside is fully dry.

• For long-term storage, remove the battery, dry the hull fully, and store the boat in a cool, dry place.
• If the shaft or propeller area feels rough or noisy, clean out debris and follow the model's maintenance guidance before the next run.

Runtime varies by model, battery condition, throttle use, water condition, propeller condition, and battery age.

For models with self-righting support, try reverse throttle briefly, then forward. If it does not recover, retrieve it safely. Do not swim into unsafe water to recover a model.

Use EXHOBBY boats in freshwater such as ponds, lakes, or pools. Salt water can corrode electronics and metal parts. If accidental salt-water contact happens, rinse the hull exterior with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

• Check the battery connection and charge level.
• Confirm transmitter batteries are fresh.
• Inspect the propeller for weeds, fishing line, or debris.
• Open the hatch and check for water inside.
• Some models need water contact before the motor activates.

• Retrieve the boat immediately.
• Disconnect the battery first.
• Open the hatch and dry standing water.
• Let electronics dry fully before testing again.
• Inspect seals, hatch fit, cooling lines, and hull damage.

Stay calm and keep the transmitter pointed toward the boat. Move closer if it is safe to do so, and use gentle steering and throttle inputs to try to regain control. If control does not return, retrieve the boat safely without entering unsafe water.

Check that the transmitter antenna is positioned correctly, the batteries are fresh, and the boat is within clear visual range. Avoid running near strong interference sources, and reduce distance if control starts to drop out.

Fully charge the battery before use, check for weeds or debris around the propeller, and inspect the shaft and drive area for drag. Battery age and rough water can also reduce runtime and speed.
