Proboat Recoil 2 18" BL RTR Heatwave
Characteristics:
Smaller high-speed RC model boat Proboat Recoil 2 18" (45cm). It features a brushless motor providing impressive power and speed up to 40 km/h. Precise and easy control suitable even for beginners. Self-righting function for automatic flipping. Powerful Spektrum electronics. Everything you need to operate in the package.
The Proboat Recoil 2 18" boat is based on the larger Recoil speedboat with a length of 26" (66 cm), which conquered the world of water with its speed, easy control, and stylish hull with captivating licensed graphics. Its huge success inspired Pro Boat to create the RC boat Recoil 2 18”, which is smaller, more affordable, and offers equally exciting performance, driving characteristics, and style.
Just like its "big brother," the Recoil 2 18" features a Deep-V hull made of durable ABS material. Despite its smaller size, it is still an extra high-speed boat. With a water-cooled brushless motor and Spektrum ESC, it literally flies across the water at speeds up to 40 km/h. If the model flips over in the middle of the lake, no worries, with a long press of the third channel on the Spektrum SLT3 transmitter, the Self-righting function is activated, and your Recoil 2 18" will immediately flip back and return to action.
Everything you need to operate the Recoil 2 18" is included in the package. The Spektrum SLT3 2.4 GHz transmitter combines reliability, ergonomics, and the ability to adjust all necessary functions for full enjoyment of the ride. The included 3S LiPo 1300mAh Smart battery can be easily and safely charged with the included USB-C charger Spektrum S120. Also included is a practical stand for display and maintenance. The compact size of the boat easily fits in a car or backpack for easy transport to the lake or other larger bodies of water. With simple setup and easy control, the boat is suitable for beginners. With its speed, precise handling, and above all, fun, it will also captivate experienced modelers.
Self-righting Function
The special hull design and brushless motor with an impeller and weight provide the model with a unique function that allows controlled flipping of the boat back with a single press of a button on the transmitter.
Powerful Brushless Propulsion
The high performance and speed of the boat model are ensured by the brushless motor Spektrum Firma 2950kv. The brushless system also provides easier maintenance and long life.
RC System SLT3 2.4 GHz
With the Spektrum SLT RC system, you always have a stable and secure connection without dropouts. The dual protocol SLT/DSMR receiver SR315 allows for easy upgrade to the universal Spektrum transmitter.
Licensed Coloring
Officially licensed variants Shreddy and Heat Wave Visual add attractiveness to the model. The Heat Wave variant is stylized after Apollo Sunglasses: Blurr Customs. The Shreddy variant is based on racing driver Blake Wilkey.
Smart Charging
Charging the battery has never been easier. Simply connect the included Spektrum 3S Smart LiPo battery to the Spektrum S120 USB-C Smart charger. Using Smart technology, the charger detects the correct number of cells, charging current, and battery type. It then automatically starts safe charging.
Water-cooled Motor and ESC
The water-cooled brushless motor and Spektrum Firma 30A ESC maintain a safe operating temperature for the components inside the sealed hull.
Speed and Efficiency
The model's design achieves an optimal balance between speed and efficiency. Even at high speeds, you have approximately 7 minutes of operation on a single battery.
Flip-up Rudder
The flip-up rudder is designed to flip up rather than break in case of impact with the shore. When flipped up, simply straighten the rudder back because it does not use a traditional breakaway screw system.
Adjustable Surfaces
Stabilizing and correcting stainless steel surfaces at the rear of the boat's hull have high strength, durability, and resistance to damage. By adjusting the angle of the surfaces, you can modify the boat's driving characteristics.
Stand
The included stand is ideal for displaying the Recoil 2 18" and for its service maintenance. Rotate the stand to use it as a practical parts holder or for flexible maintenance of the boat's shaft.

Recommended to purchase:
Everything to start the boat is included in the package. It is necessary to regularly maintain the boat shaft with lubricating grease before driving. We recommend purchasing spare LiPo batteries for longer operating time and a more powerful charger for faster charging.
Recommended LiPo Batteries
For powering the RC model boat, we recommend a quality 3S LiPo battery with a capacity of 1300 mAh.
- Spare battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 1300mAh 30C with IC3 connector and Smart technology.
Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. You can find the benefits of Spektrum Smart technology here.
Recommended Chargers for Conventional and Smart Batteries
- Spektrum Smart G2 S100 USB-C charger with a single output of 1x 100W.
- Spektrum Smart G2 S155 AC charger with a single output of 1x 55W.
- Spektrum Smart G2 S250 AC charger with a dual output of 2x 50W.
- Spektrum Smart G2 S1100 AC charger with a single output of 1x 100W.
- Spektrum Smart G2 S2100 AC charger with two outputs of 2x 100W.
Accessories for Regular Boat Operation
For the regular operation of the RC model boat, you need a special lubricating grease for lubricating boat shafts. The special composition ensures smooth operation of the shaft in a Teflon tube while maintaining the maximum component lifespan. We recommend Marine lubricating grease or Marine lubricating grease with an applicator.
Protective Cases for Batteries
Protective cases are designed to reduce the risk associated with transporting and charging batteries. LiPo batteries, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. LiPo batteries are particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and should be thoroughly protected.
