The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate Pool Party Game Changer! If you are looking for the perfect entry-level RC boat for kids or just want to add some high-speed fun to your backyard swimming pool, the Pro Boat Jet Jam is a must-have. The Hobby Hideaway Team loves this 12-inch racer because it was specifically designed with pool safety and durability in mind. Not only is it self-righting, but it also features a clever rubber bumper to prevent it from scuffing your pool liner. Plus, it even comes with a removable front cup that allows you to play water soccer with a ping pong ball!
Worry-Free Jet Propulsion Just like its smaller 9-inch sibling, the Jet Jam completely ditches the traditional exposed propeller and rudder system in favor of a fully enclosed jet pump. This makes it incredibly safe to handle and allows it to run in water as shallow as three inches without snagging on weeds or debris. If the action gets a little too wild and the boat flips over, the self-righting hull design will automatically roll it right-side up so you never have to interrupt the fun to go on a rescue mission.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
100% Ready-to-Run (RTR): Comes with absolutely everything you need right in the box, making it the perfect hassle-free gift.
Safe Jet Drive: A fully enclosed jet pump provides excellent thrust with zero exposed moving parts, ensuring safety for younger drivers and pool liners.
Self-Righting Hull: The deep-V hull is designed to automatically flip upright within seconds if the boat capsizes.
Pool-Safe Bumper: Features a thick rubber front bumper to prevent damage to the boat, pool walls, or liners during impact.
Water Soccer Ready: Includes a removable front bumper cup designed to push floating balls around for interactive pool games.
Rechargeable Power: Includes a 1500mAh Li-Ion battery and a convenient USB charger for easy power-ups.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: While the Jet Jam is built to be a tough little pool basher, water will inevitably find its way inside the hull over time. After your pool session, always remove the top canopy, unplug the battery, and leave the hatch open overnight so the internal hull can completely air dry. This prevents any moisture from building up and keeps your brushed motor and electronics functioning perfectly all summer long!
