Q: Please answer with useful information. Like how to actually pair .we know it needs to be in water to power on
submitted by Ashers Nana - 8 months ago
A: Here are the steps to pairing the Hydro Racer. 1. Make sure the remote control is powered on and the Hydro Racer is out of the water. 2. Power on the remote control by rotating the power knob clockwise. The status light on the remote control will start to slowly flash while the remote control is in pairing mode. 3. Place the Hydro Racer in the water. 4. Press the left or right joystick on the remote control and wait for the status light on the remote control to stop flashing. When the status light stops flashing, the Hydro Racer and remote control are paired, and you can start racing.

Q: After having the boat for less than a week, the remote will not power on, even with brand new batteries out of the package. The light does not turn on. The boat will charge with a different cord, but the remote is no longer functional. Please advise

Q: Hi, I bought a set of two but none seemed to sync with the remotes. I placed the boats in water only after switching the knob of the remotes and the lights started blinking indicating they are ready.
submitted by Dysfunctional Boats - 10 months ago
A: The boats will not power on unless they are placed in water. This is due to the safety sensors on the underside to prevent accidents. Thank you
submitted byMatt @ Merchsource - 9 months agoBrand expert
Q: I just bought one. Mine don't work. I had it plugged in on the remote control for an hour. It still did not work. I now plugged it in to my phone charger. I'll try if it will work.
submitted by Tanunoy - 1 year ago
A: Hello, please ensure the boat is in the water when attempting to power it on. The boat has safety sensors that prevent the propellers from spinning until it is in the water. Thank you

We tried it in the lake and had to rescue it. The propellers wouldn’t move and we were only 3 feet away. Luckily my grandson was able to rescue! Was very disappointed as this was his special Christmas gift.

Does not pair. We tried multiple times, we were so excited for this little boat. We followed instructions to a "T". It doesn't work. So disappointing.

I like how fast it went and it flora really well I used it in my pool and it was great, thought the bad part about it is it’s very small but it takes 40 minutes too charge and 10 minutes of use on a full charge
not water resistant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little boat is a lot of fun to steer across the pool or even the bathtub. It’s small but pretty fast and I can’t wait to get another so that we can race them.
So much fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kid loved it so much. My kid is figuring out how to play with it. It's a good toy for kids. It's quiet and runs on the water very nicely. My kid enjoys playing with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This water toy is pretty cool. It moves on water like an rc car runs on the ground. It actually goes pretty fast. The only thing that I noticed is that the battery goes out fast, other than that it’s pretty fun to play with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before I begin this review I am obligated to inform you that this review is "Incentivized" I received these products in exchange for my most honest review: If you are ordering this online beware that looks can be deceiving. This boat is maybe three inches or less in size! It is so small so I wouldn’t recommend it for little ones at all. There are different variations to this boat, and I would recommend purchasing the two pack with a track. It’s the best for its pricing honestly. Focusing on the toy itself, it’s well made and fun. I think it controls well and does pretty decent on one full charge. My children ages 7 and 9 love it.
