The versatility of this mini RC boat is genuinely impressive. It operates in water as shallow as just three inches deep, opening up possibilities for pool use that larger, deeper-draft vessels simply cannot match. Whether the sun is shining brilliantly or rain is pouring down, the Jet Jam performs flawlessly in practically any weather condition. With its tough injection moulded ABS hull, protective rubber bumper and included decal customisation options, this is a boat built to withstand the rigours of active recreational use whilst looking fantastic doing it.
Key Features
- Self-Righting Design — The Jet Jam automatically returns to its upright position if it capsizes in the water, eliminating the frustration of losing your boat in the middle of the pool and ensuring continuous fun without constant manual corrections. This ingenious hull design means you can focus entirely on enjoying your boating experience rather than worrying about recovery.
- Safe Jet Pump Propulsion System — Rather than using a traditional exposed propeller that poses safety hazards around children and pool edges, the Jet Jam employs a sophisticated internal jet pump drive system. This feature makes the boat genuinely safe for use in family environments and pool parties where conventional propeller-driven boats would be completely unsuitable.
- Ready to Run (RTR) Configuration — Every component you need to start playing immediately is included in the box, from the 2.4GHz radio transmitter and rechargeable 7.4V LiIon battery to the USB charging cable. There is absolutely no assembly required beyond inserting four AA batteries into the transmitter, making this the perfect choice for anyone seeking an instant-gratification RC boat experience.
- Advanced 2.4GHz FHSS Radio System — The included 3-channel FHSS 2.4GHz radio system provides reliable, interference-free control with excellent range and responsiveness, ensuring your commands reach the boat instantly regardless of other wireless devices in the area.
- Shallow Water Operation — With a minimum operating depth of just three inches, the Jet Jam opens up entire venues unavailable to conventional boats. Run it in your swimming pool, across shallow ponds, in shallow sections of lakes, or even in slow-moving shallow streams without fear of running aground.
- All-Weather Capability — Engineered to perform reliably in rain, shine, humidity and splash conditions, the Jet Jam doesn't care about the weather forecast. Take it out whenever you fancy, knowing it will deliver the same thrilling performance in any conditions.
- Protective Rubber Bumper — The boat features a strategically positioned rubber bumper that absorbs impact energy, preventing costly hull damage if you accidentally strike the pool wall or collide with obstacles. This thoughtful addition dramatically extends the operational life of your boat.
- Customisable Appearance — The Jet Jam arrives with both orange and white coloured hulls plus three different colour decal sheet sets included, allowing you to create up to six different distinctive visual combinations. Personalise your boat to match your style or differentiate between multiple boats if you're running with friends.
- Pool Soccer Gameplay — A unique removable cup mounted in the front of the boat allows you to engage in pool soccer competitions with friends. Simply add a floating ping pong ball or similar buoyant object and enjoy interactive multiplayer fun that transforms the boat into a sporting toy.
- Brushed 390 Motor — The reliable 390-size brushed electric motor delivers smooth, predictable power characteristics that are ideal for recreational boating. Brushed motors are known for their simplicity, durability and ease of maintenance, making them perfect for a boat that will see heavy family use.
- Lightweight and Portable — Weighing just 500 grams (approximately 1 pound), the Jet Jam is incredibly portable and easy to transport to the pool, lake, or any water venue. Its compact 12-inch length makes it perfect for storage in wardrobes, under beds or in sports bags.
Technical Performance
The Jet Jam V2 is engineered around a sophisticated jet pump propulsion system that converts rotational motor power into directional water thrust with impressive efficiency. The 390-size brushed electric motor provides ample power for the boat's lightweight construction and modest dimensions, delivering responsive acceleration and smooth controllable speed characteristics across the full throttle range. The motor integrates seamlessly with the included speed control, which manages power delivery to the motor and ensures smooth operation across shallow and deeper water conditions. The 7.4V 1500mAh 2S LiIon battery included in the box provides sufficient runtime for extended play sessions whilst remaining compact and lightweight. The V-hull design provides excellent directional stability and tracking through the water, whilst the self-righting mechanism—integrated into the hull geometry and weight distribution—ensures the boat returns to upright orientation automatically if capsized. The injection moulded ABS construction provides exceptional durability and water resistance whilst keeping weight to an absolute minimum. The boat measures 305mm in length with a beam (width) of 114mm and standing height of 76.2mm, making it a genuinely compact recreational watercraft. All electronic components including the receiver and speed control are fully sealed and integrated, providing protection against splash and spray. The brushed motor drives the jet impeller shaft, which accelerates water through the jet nozzle to create forward and reverse thrust. The steering system uses jet redirection to control directional movement, eliminating the need for a conventional rudder and further enhancing safety by removing any moving external appendages.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Pro Boat Jet Jam V2 suitable for beginners and children? — Absolutely. The Jet Jam is specifically designed with family use and children in mind. The complete absence of exposed propellers makes it significantly safer than conventional RC boats around children and at pool edges. The ready to run configuration means beginners can start enjoying the boat immediately without learning complex assembly or maintenance procedures. The self-righting design removes the frustration of capsizing, and the included 2.4GHz transmitter features intuitive two-channel controls that are simple to master. For these reasons, the Jet Jam is genuinely one of the best ready to run RC boats available for introducing children to the hobby.
- How long does the battery last per charge? — The included 7.4V 1500mAh 2S LiIon battery provides sufficient capacity for extended recreational play sessions. Actual runtime varies depending on throttle usage, water conditions and individual running style, but typical recreational sessions last 15-25 minutes per charge. The battery charges fully via the included USB charger in approximately 2-3 hours, making it practical to run multiple sessions throughout an afternoon by simply swapping in a spare battery if desired.
- Can the Jet Jam operate in saltwater or chlorinated pool water? — Whilst the Jet Jam is designed to operate in freshwater and chlorinated pool environments, it should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated pools or saltwater to prevent corrosion of internal components and the battery contacts. Saltwater use is not recommended without extensive post-use freshwater rinsing and potential corrosion protection measures.
- What is the maximum operating depth? — The Jet Jam operates in water depths from as little as three inches up to several feet deep. The jet intake requires sufficient water volume to function properly, so whilst shallow water operation is a defining feature of this boat, excessively deep water provides no additional advantage over moderate depths.
- How does the self-righting mechanism work? — The self-righting capability is engineered into the hull design and weight distribution rather than through complex mechanical systems. The hull's geometry and the strategic placement of components create a centre of gravity and buoyancy distribution that causes the boat to automatically flip back upright if capsized. This elegant passive system requires no moving parts or complex mechanisms, ensuring total reliability without maintenance.
- Can multiple boats be operated simultaneously? — Yes. Each Jet Jam includes its own 2.4GHz FHSS radio transmitter with individual frequency binding. The FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology allows multiple boats to operate in close proximity without radio interference, making the Jet Jam perfect for group play, racing competitions or family fun with multiple boats running simultaneously.
- What customisation options are available? — The Jet Jam arrives with both orange and white coloured hull shells plus three different colour decal sheet sets. By combining the two hull colours with the various decal options, you can create up to six distinctly different visual variations of your boat. The decals are adhesive-backed for easy application without tools or additional materials.
- Is the jet pump durable and reliable? — The jet pump system is a proven, time-tested propulsion method used extensively in commercial watercraft and military applications. The system employed in the Jet Jam is robust and designed for years of reliable recreational use. Unlike propeller-driven systems, the jet pump suffers no blade damage from impacts or debris, and the internal design means no external appendages can break off or require replacement.
- What maintenance does the Jet Jam require? — The Jet Jam requires minimal maintenance. After each use, allow it to dry completely before storage. Occasionally inspect the hull for cracks or damage, and ensure the battery contacts remain clean and corrosion-free. The brushed motor may occasionally require light maintenance as brushes naturally wear over extended use, but replacement brushes are inexpensive and readily available as spare parts. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated or saltwater environments.
- How does the removable cup feature work for pool soccer? — The boat features a removable cup attachment positioned in the front centre section. Simply place a floating ball (a standard ping pong ball works perfectly) into the cup, and you can play soccer-style games where players attempt to push the ball into opponent's goal areas. This creative feature transforms the Jet Jam from a pure speed toy into an interactive multiplayer gaming platform.
