Our description
The Amewi Blue Barracuda V2 is a mere 35.5 cm mini speedboat and probably the cheapest sensible way into RC boating. The brushed drive does around 25 km/h – plenty of fun on a pond or small lake without being dangerously fast. Important for beginners: it is capsize-safe and self-righting (turns itself back upright after a flip), the hull is double-sealed (two lids) against water ingress, and a start lock makes the drive run only in the water – not in your hand. White (front) and red (rear) LEDs are switchable from the transmitter. It comes ready to run (RTR) with a Li-Ion battery (7.4 V, 1100 mAh) and USB charging, around 15 minutes of run time. Honestly placed: this is clearly a budget/toy-grade boat – small battery, short run time, no brushless and no upgrade path, and spare parts are essentially limited to propellers and standard parts. But that is exactly the point: cheap, robust against capsizing and ideal to dip into the hobby with low risk before moving up to a bigger brushless boat.
