DEERC AU4-2008 Self-Righting LED RC Boat

Model Overview

The DEERC RC Boat is a ready-to-run RC boat designed for hobbyists and collectors who want fast, reliable performance on pools and lakes. It combines a sporty profile with practical features such as self-righting capability, bright LED lighting and an auto-pilot demonstration mode. The boat is aimed at recreational racers and remote-control enthusiasts aged 14 and up.

Control & Operation

Control is handled by a 2.4 GHz radio system that gives responsive steering and interference-resistant operation when multiple boats are on the water. The transmitter offers stepless speed adjustment for precise throttle control, plus a single-button auto-pilot function that runs continuous “8” or “O” shaped patterns for demonstration and relaxed cruising. A low battery alarm on the controller warns when power is running low, helping protect electronics and avoiding unexpected stops.

Performance & Runtime

Performance is a key strength. Two high-quality rechargeable 7.4 V, 1200 mAh Li-ion batteries deliver more than 30 minutes of combined running time per charge, so sessions last longer between battery swaps. The hull and propulsion system deliver speeds in excess of 20 mph, and the self-righting design helps the boat recover quickly if it capsizes in wind or choppy water.

Design & Features

The boat includes sparkling LED lights for low-light operation and visual appeal on evening runs. The self-righting mechanism is built into the hull design to keep the craft upright after rolling. The compact footprint makes it appropriate for both backyard pools and open-water practice on lakes.
