Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these from another vender sometime ago. I was pleased by the level of detail. It is more toy like than the HT torpedo boat and Destroyer RC boats out there, but it still has impressive detail for a toy considering the size of the ship it appears to be modeled after. Some of the finer details break off easily but this does not affect the function of the boat. It looks very much like a Russian Kiev Class aircraft carrier ( or "aviation cruiser") in approximately 1/350 scale. After having it for a while I disassembled it and painted more to scale, it looks great as is, but with a nice semi-scale paint job it is even better.
I have lake tested this boat . It seems to list to the side with the super structure. After running in a pond I added some ballast to compensate. One thing to note: the battery is more difficult to get to than other similar boats. Hooking up the provided charger it is easy but using another faster charger or changing out the battery is not so easy.
It has a neat safety feature: the motors will not run unless the boat is in the water or with some other form of conductor touching both propeller shafts. The information on the box is not real clear about this feature.
For about $50.00 with shipping it is a pretty good buy, has excellent looks and good perfromance for a toy grade RC model (do not expect hobbie RC perfromance from a $50.00 toy). If you want long distance range, Long operating time, with scale speeds you are going to have to spend much more than the $50.00 or so that this unit costs.
For something smaller and cheaper the RC Warship Electric Boat with Battery and Charger, torpedo boat from Hobbytron is also very nice. Also the "Smasher" Destroyer modeled after a Russian Sovremenny Class DDG in 1/200 scale is very nice and priced similarly.
