This innovative watercraft is specifically designed for pool, pond, lake and shallow river use, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to add aquatic RC fun to their hobby collection. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or a complete beginner discovering the world of ready to run RC boats for the first time, the Jet Jam V2 delivers exceptional entertainment value with its unique self-righting capability and safety-focused design.
What makes the Pro Boat Jet Jam V2 stand out from other RC pool toys and boats is its combination of practical engineering and pure fun factor. The brushed 390 motor provides reliable performance whilst the jet pump propulsion system eliminates exposed propellers entirely, making this RC boat genuinely safe for children and ideal for pool parties. With its compact 12-inch hull length, deep-V design and lightweight construction at just 500g, this mini RC boat is portable, durable and built to handle both calm pool environments and more challenging open water conditions.
The Jet Jam V2 is truly ready to run straight from the box—no assembly headaches, no complicated setup procedures. Simply unbox it, charge the included 7.4V LiIon battery using the USB charger provided, insert four AA batteries into the 2.4GHz radio transmitter (which are included), and you're ready to race. This is RC boating made simple, fun and accessible for everyone.
Key Features
- Self-Righting Design — The Jet Jam V2 automatically rights itself when flipped upside down, meaning you'll never be stranded with an inverted boat in the water. This feature is essential for worry-free operation, especially in pools and shallow water where fishing the boat out becomes impossible. This self-righting capability is a genuine game-changer for RC boat enjoyment.
- Safe Jet Pump Propulsion System — Unlike traditional RC boats with exposed propellers, the Jet Jam V2 uses an innovative jet pump system that draws water in and expels it through a nozzle. This design completely eliminates sharp, spinning propeller hazards, making this RC boat extraordinarily safe around children, swimmers and pool edges. Parents can relax knowing their children are playing with a genuinely safe RC watercraft.
- Ready to Run Out of the Box — This is a fully assembled RTR RC boat that requires less than one hour of preparation before your first run. No soldering, no complex assembly instructions, no frustration—everything needed to operate the boat immediately is included and pre-configured by the factory.
- Shallow Water Capability — The Jet Jam V2 can operate in water as shallow as just three inches deep, meaning you can race it in shallow pools, shallow ends of lakes, birdbaths, streams and puddles. This remarkable shallow draft opens up countless aquatic environments where traditional RC boats cannot venture, making this one of the most versatile ready to run RC boats available in the UK.
- Rubber Bumper Protection — A protective rubber bumper is fitted to the front of the hull to prevent damage to the boat's structure and protect pool walls and pond edges from damage during enthusiastic racing sessions. This practical safety feature extends the lifespan of your RC boat considerably.
- Removable Front Cup for Pool Soccer — The innovative removable cup mounted on the front transforms the Jet Jam V2 into a competitive pool toy. Add a ping pong ball or any floating ball and play pool soccer against friends, turning your RC boat into an interactive gaming platform rather than just a simple speedboat.
- Extensive Customisation with Multiple Decal Sheets — The package includes orange and white coloured hull options plus three different colour decal sheets, allowing you to create up to six different colour combinations and personalised looks. This level of customisation makes the Jet Jam V2 feel uniquely yours.
- All-Weather Operation — Whether it's sunny, raining, overcast or stormy, the Jet Jam V2 operates reliably in practically any weather condition. This waterproof RC boat isn't limited to perfect summer days—you can race it year-round throughout the UK's variable climate.
- 2.4GHz FHSS Radio System Included — The boat features a sophisticated 2.4GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio system with three channels, providing reliable interference-free control. This frequency band is ideal for multiple RC boats operating simultaneously without frequency conflicts.
- Complete RTR Package — The Jet Jam V2 includes everything required to start racing: the boat itself, 2-channel transmitter with included AA batteries, 7.4V 1500mAh 2S LiIon battery, USB charger for convenient battery replenishment, decal sheets, and comprehensive product manual. This is genuinely a complete ready to run RC boat system.
Technical Performance
The Pro Boat Jet Jam V2 is engineered with precision and practical durability in mind. The hull is constructed from injection-moulded ABS plastic, a material renowned for its combination of lightweight properties and exceptional impact resistance—critical for an RC boat that will inevitably make contact with pool walls, dock pilings and other obstacles. The deep-V hull design ensures stable planing at speed whilst the compact 12-inch length (approximately 305mm), 4.5-inch beam width (approximately 114mm) and modest 3-inch height (approximately 76mm) create a nimble watercraft that handles tight spaces and shallow water environments with remarkable agility. At just 500g (1 pound), the Jet Jam V2 is light enough to transport easily to any aquatic venue whilst retaining sufficient mass for stability in waves and wakes.
Power delivery comes from a proven 390-size brushed electric motor, a classic choice in RC applications that provides responsive, reliable performance with excellent torque characteristics at low speeds and smooth mid-range acceleration. The brushed motor technology means minimal maintenance compared to brushless alternatives—no complex ESC programming required, just straightforward, predictable operation. The motor drives the jet pump system through the drive train, which uses jet drive steering to provide both propulsion and directional control. This integrated system is simpler, more reliable and safer than exposed rudders or separate steering servos. The 7.4V 1500mAh 2S lithium-ion battery provides ample energy for extended pool sessions, and the USB charging system means you can recharge conveniently using any USB power adapter without requiring dedicated charger equipment. The included speed control manages power delivery smoothly, whilst the receiver accepts signals from the 2.4GHz transmitter with rock-solid reliability across the water environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Pro Boat Jet Jam V2 suitable for beginners and children? — Absolutely. This is one of the most beginner-friendly ready to run RC boats available. The self-righting design means beginners don't need to worry about capsizing being a permanent problem, and the safe jet pump system (with no exposed propeller) makes it ideal for children. The RTR package includes everything needed, and setup takes less than one hour. Even first-time RC enthusiasts will have no difficulty getting on the water.
- What water depth does the Jet Jam V2 require? — The Jet Jam V2 operates effectively in water as shallow as three inches deep. This makes it suitable for pools, shallow pond areas, slow-moving streams and even large puddles. However, it will also perform excellently in deeper water including lakes and rivers.
- What battery does the Jet Jam V2 use and how long does it run? — The boat comes with a 7.4V 1500mAh 2S lithium-ion battery pack. This provides excellent capacity for extended play sessions typical of RC boat use. The USB charger included allows convenient recharging from any standard USB power adapter, wall outlet, computer or portable power bank.
- How is the Jet Jam V2 powered and steered? — The boat uses a 390-size brushed electric motor driving a jet pump system. Both propulsion and steering are managed through the jet drive system, which is inherently simpler and more reliable than traditional propeller-based designs. The 2.4GHz radio system provides smooth, responsive control of both throttle and steering.
- What makes the self-righting feature so important? — In pool and shallow water environments, a boat that flips upside down becomes virtually impossible to recover without getting wet. The Jet Jam V2's self-righting design automatically flips the boat back onto its hull, meaning you never lose your boat in the water and racing sessions never interrupt for recovery operations.
- Can multiple Jet Jam V2 boats race together? — Yes. The 2.4GHz FHSS (frequency-hopping spread spectrum) radio system means multiple boats can operate simultaneously without frequency conflicts, making the Jet Jam V2 ideal for multi-boat racing, competitions and group play sessions.
- Is the Jet Jam V2 waterproof? — The Jet Jam V2 is a water-going RC boat specifically designed for aquatic operation. All critical electronics are sealed and protected within the injection-moulded ABS hull, and the entire system is engineered to operate reliably in wet conditions. However, you should not leave the boat in water continuously or submerge it deeper than operational water levels for extended periods.
- How much assembly is required? — This is a ready-to-run boat requiring less than one hour of assembly. Most of this time involves inserting batteries, installing decals if desired, and familiarising yourself with the radio transmitter and boat features. No soldering, motor installation, ESC programming or complex construction is required.
- What decal options are available? — The Jet Jam V2 includes orange and white coloured hull options plus three different colour decal sheets, allowing you to create up to six completely different visual appearances. This makes customisation straightforward and fun.
