A major point not noted in the instructions is that the motors in this boat only run when the boat is in the water (safety issue I presume). Other than that, it's fairly high quality, quite durable (survives head-on crashes into the side of a swimming pool at full speed), and runs for about 15 minutes on a charge if you use the throttle modestly. And yes, this thing hauls ! 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful: By Noel (Southeast Texas) - See all my reviews = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: 30" RC SYMA Century Boat Radio Remote Control R/C Racing Yacht with Display Stand (Toy) I bought this toy boat for when my wife and I have our grandson (six) and granddaughter (four) over. When I received it I put it in our pool and found out two things: 1st. It is not for a child that young (of course it indicates that on the box but I didn't beleive it) 2nd. It should not be used in a pool...it is too fast. I hit the gunite wall with it at a slight angle and it held together! But I'm not sure how much more of that abuse it could take (it may not be suitable fo grandpas either). I have no regrets. It just needs to be in a larger body of water such as a stock pond or lake. 12 of 15 people found the following review helpful: = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: 30" RC SYMA Century Boat Radio Remote Control R/C Racing Yacht with Display Stand (Toy) Item arrived broken from seller (both propeller and rudder). Have other RC boats, and often they are rather 'cheap' plastic. But this is definitely poor quality plastic and construction.
Also, although the online description does not say this, the boat is not 'full function'. After reviewing the product, it does not go in reverse, making it rather useless in a swimming pool when it gets stuck in corners. Very disappointed. |
