Overview
From the moment they first hit the water, Pro Boat Recoil deep-Vs took the RC boating world by storm. With the Recoil's easy operation, even hobby newcomers could rip across the lake like seasoned pros. Pro Boat then added fuel to the fire with the awesome looks, incredible performance, and advanced self-righting capabilities of the next-generation 26" Recoil 2. Its massive success has inspired Pro Boat to create the Recoil 2 18" - a smaller, lower-priced version with the same exciting performance and supercharged style.
Like its "big brother" deep-V, the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18" comes completely ready-to-run. But don't let its smaller dimensions fool you. This little boat is a rocket ship! Propelled by a factory-installed Spektrum brushless power system, it slices across your local pond or small lake in the blink of an eye, at 25+ mph speeds. If there's a wipeout away from shore, never fear. With one long press of the self-righting button on the included Spektrum SLT3 transmitter, your Recoil 2 18" instantly flips upright to get back into action.
Affordable, easy to run, and conveniently sized, the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18" is perfect for anyone just starting out in the RC boat hobby. There's also plenty here to capture the hearts of experienced boat modelers. As Pro Boat's only high-performance mini boat, the Recoil 2 18" wears the best liveries on its high-impact ABS hull. Pro Boat partnered once again with Heat Wave Sunglasses and Shreddy - with the help of Blake Wilkey - to outfit the Recoil 2 18" with your choice of two sweet-looking, officially licensed trim scheme options.
Everything you need to run the Recoil 2 18" comes in the box. The Spektrum SLT3 2.4GHz radio system combines standard-setting dependability and ergonomics with all the functions you need to enjoy every moment of your time on the water. The Smart 3S 1300mAh LiPo battery is paired with an S120 USB-C Smart Charger that makes recharging fast, simple, and safe. A handy boat stand is included for display and maintenance, and AA transmitter batteries are supplied.
The compact Recoil 2 18" fits easily into your car to take wherever a suitably sized body of water waits. It also fits conveniently into a backpack of your choice, for carrying to those epic small ponds that require a hike. It's not for your backyard pool, but will be right at home cutting loose at your local pond or small lake. With its ready-to-run simplicity, custom Heat Wave or Shreddy liveries, and worry-free self-righting, the Pro Boat Recoil 2 18" deep-V brings big fun to mini RC boats!

- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
