Official "Fish Fun Co." Answer. As of June 19th 2015 the electronics in The Radio Ranger Boat were upgraded to include a variable speed feature, The Radio Ranger can go slow or fast and in between speeds. Before June 19th 2015 The Radio Ranger was not variable speed, it was only one speed.

Variable speed control. Very responsive and easy to use! It can be quite fast or very slow.

per the description it Includes 540 motor and 101BK ESC. The 101BK is an electronic speed control. You will need your own battery and radio gear.

Speed control knob is on the output side. Speed is infinitely variable (not insteps)

No it is not a variable speed vehicle. The speed is 0 mph, because the two we bought broke within minutes of their first use.

No, it is one speed only. And it is a LOT of bubbles. Used it in a parade and it was perfect.

One speed, but if it was variable I'm not sure how that would work. That would be like a variable speed chain saw. Why would I want it to go slower?

Yes, like any other boat-like toy. It is not radio controlled or drivable per say. Included motor allows you to move rudder but with you hand by manually moving it. Essentially allows you to control which direction of circles you want the boat to go, or straight for that matter.

Two, which is why they call it Duet. The motors are used for both power and turning. The rudder is fixed with no control. The left motor speeds up for right turns, and vice versa. Very effective and controllable. I highly recommend this product for a beginner. It is the best beginner setup I've every seen, not to mention the most complete and lowest cost.

One speed. Don't let that deter you from this tool. After two years of using it I've found no need yet to have variable speed. I use it to cut screws, grind welds and with an added disk, sand wood VERY aggressively.

By design you are supposed to be able to regulate speed by how far in you pull the handles, in reality its one speed, its either moving or not. No amount of adjustment has fixed this and there is no independent speed control.

Yes it is variable speed. There is a dial on the tool that allows you to choose between 1-6, I believe. (l don't have it in front of me) If memory serves, I believe the dial is on the handle near the cord outlet of the tool.

No this is not speed controllable, most single phase motors are not speed controllable as they have an internal start switch that is governed by the motor speed, so you can't slow it down or you will burn it up.

It has only one speed. ..high. Though it has setting for more. It is all one speed. I ignored this on others reviews but it is true.

No, just one boat. Ours was a disappointment because there was a leak in the boat on the seam where the valve was. We didn't open it til we were on vacation and it was useless.
