Re: Remote controlled speed boats
they are miniature versions of speed boats that kids can play with. they have a remote control so you can put the toy in water and "drive" it, whilst you are still nice and dry on the side of the water.
hope that helps

You can get Petrol versions which the big kids play with which I believe are very expensive.
Saw many a battery version in the UK stranded in the lakes we used to visit on a Sun morn!!! Big Kids paradise..... Appears the signals aren't as strong but I am no expert just a nosey witch!

Re: Remote controlled speed boats
my lil bro had a petrol one when he was a kid. it was great fun to play with until he smashed it into the side of the pond!
they are expensive but well worth the money if he will be using it a lot.
