1/6 24" Jetstream Jet Boat RTR

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate Shallow-Water River Basher! When you want to conquer rapids, rocky streams, and shallow creeks where traditional prop boats wouldn't dare to go, the Pro Boat 1/6 Jetstream is the ultimate weapon. The Hobby Hideaway Team is absolutely blown away by this massive 24-inch beast because it brings true 1/6 scale realism and brutal 6S brushless power to the RC jet boat scene. Most importantly, it features a fully functional reversing bucket—meaning if you nose onto a sandbar or get wedged between some river rocks, you can actually back up and keep bashing without needing to wade into the water!

Unmatched Scale Realism Meets 6S Power This isn't just a bare-bones plastic hull; it is a highly detailed scale rig complete with a heavy-duty roll cage, a poseable driver figure, scale deck hardware, and a super-bright LED light bar for evening runs. Powering this river monster is a water-cooled Spektrum Firma 160A Smart Marine ESC and a 1600Kv brushless motor that pushes serious water through the heavy-duty jet pump. To handle the abuse of sucking up gravel and debris, the pump features a tough stainless steel impeller and a metal wear ring, ensuring maximum durability on the wildest water.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Massive 1/6 Scale: A 24-inch high-impact hull with incredible scale details, including a realistic roll cage, driver figure, and full LED lighting system.

• Functional Reverse Gate: Features a true jet boat reverse bucket controlled by a dedicated servo, allowing you to back off obstacles and maneuver in tight spaces.

• 6S Brushless Power: Equipped with a Spektrum Firma 160A Smart Marine ESC and 1600Kv motor for extreme speeds on either 4S or 6S LiPo setups.

• Heavy-Duty Jet Pump: Utilizes a durable jet drive with a stainless steel impeller and wear ring, allowing you to run safely in just a few inches of water.

• Armor Plating: Features a sturdy hull design with an integrated front bumper and a strong intake grate to deflect rocks, sticks, and debris.

• Premium Electronics: Includes a Spektrum SLT3 3-channel radio system and high-torque waterproof servos for precise steering and reverse gate operation.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because this boat is designed to blast through shallow, rocky creeks, it is inevitable that you will eventually suck up some sand, mud, or small pebbles into the jet drive. Always keep a close eye on your cooling water tell-tale (the little stream of water shooting out the side of the hull)! If that stream stops flowing, immediately bring the boat in and clear the intake grate to prevent your brushless electronics from overheating. Also, be sure to consistently use marine grease on that jet pump shaft after a heavy day of running to keep the bearings happy!
