Enlarge Remote Radio Control Sub Boat Diving Toy RC Submarine

Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from this toy, but it actually works pretty well. You can control the boat about 1 meter or so underwater before it loses control. Good news is that the thing's buoyant on it's own, so it just rises back up into range. It's a little tough for a young kid to control, though. Not a bad value for the money.

We received this RC sub as a gift for our Son. I am not impressed with this toy. The battery on the submarine lasts for about 30 seconds. The charger uses 6 AA batteries and can not plug into a wall socket, which would get expensive if we planned on keeping it. There is no way to use a DC power supply unless I solder one to the internal electronics and the buttons on the remote controller have been pushed out of place (jammed) by my kids both times we have attempted to use it. Also the battery cover on the remote controller keeps falling off. The instructions are also poorly translated into English.

When you buy things, sometimes batteries just don't work right and need to be replaced. If this were the only issue, I would not give this toy such a bad review. This could have been a really cool toy and is a nice size for the bath tub, but it is poorly designed and poorly built.

My advice: Buy a different one.
