I customized one of these, I have a video of it on my channel. I put lead pallets for ballast, brushless motor, better servo, Flysky receiver and made it look a little better by making it look a bit more to scale.. removed the the toy looking crane and life raft , made a custom mast and gave it some paint. I didn't put those oversized tyres on it for they are way to big and not to scale.. I have more scale looking tyres but hadn't installed them in my video. I figured it to be around 1:43 scale and that's what I worked to.. I reckon it looks much better now and it was a good project..
Hi, I'm modifying one at the moment to make it more harbor tug looking. And lightened the top (Brushless combo, 3S battery... ) Liquid ballast is nonsense, it causes a poor balance of the boat. But it's a good basis for doing something better. Thanks for your vid. 👍
I completely dis-assembled my boat and repainted it. It has a 555 dc motor, M4 propshaft, a 40mm 4 blade prop, two windscreen washer pumps for the water jets and better navigation lighting. It has two 3S 2.2Ah batteries, one for drive and the other for the water jets. 4mm pneumatic tubing and connectors for the water jets controlled by two esc's. It is a bit fast on full power. Flags flying from the mast are the Jolly Roger over the Red Duster.

Hilarious it has a spot on the remote were the MHz crystal used to go! Definitely an RC you could have great fun tinkering with
What is the low speed control like ?

I'm glad you liked it, and best of luck with your build! I figured the same, that it's a good base for a project like that.
block up water tank and put lantern battery in space .
