Streamer

Streamer is a 42 cm remote-controlled speedboat with a brushless motor, water cooling and a top speed of up to 35 km/h. It combines a sleek racing-boat design with self-righting and a powerful 11.1 V 2000 mAh battery. In short, you get a whole lot of speed and tech for your money — perfect if you have a lake or pond with plenty of space.

Brushless speed on the water

The brushless motor is what makes Streamer especially exciting. It delivers lively acceleration and sends the boat skimming across the water at up to 35 km/h. Combined with its sleek speedboat hull, you get a boat that looks fast and delivers the speed to match.

Water cooling and self-righting

The motor is water-cooled while the boat is sailing. That’s a handy feature on a fast boat where the motor has to work hard. If Streamer capsizes, the self-righting function can help it get back upright. It’s a great safety feature on the water, but you should still only sail the boat somewhere you can retrieve it if the battery runs out or it gets stuck.

Needs plenty of space and calm freshwater

35 km/h is fast on the water, so Streamer is best suited to a lake or larger pond, with plenty of distance from people, animals, other boats and the shore. Avoid reeds, weeds and floating branches, which could get caught in the propeller or block the water cooling. Don’t sail in saltwater, strong currents or large waves.

Water-resistant — not waterproof

The double hatch helps keep water away from the electronics, but the boat isn’t designed to be submerged. Always check that the hatches are properly secured before putting the boat in the water. After each trip, open the boat, remove the battery and let both the hull and electronics dry completely.

Battery and charging

The included 11.1 V 2000 mAh battery provides around 12–15 minutes of sailing time and takes up to 3 hours to charge with the USB charger. The range is up to 100 metres in good conditions. The remote control requires 4 x AA batteries, which are sold separately.
