Good toy for the money.

I purchased one of these from Hobbytron. I was surprised by the level of detail; it is more like a scale model than a toy. Some of the finer details break off easily but this does not affect the function of the boat.

It looks very much like a 1/72 scale model Torpedo boat. After having it for a while I disassembled it and painted more to scale, it looks great as is, but with a nice scale model like paint job it is even better.

The boat runs real well forward, reverse, left and right. There is no "throttle" just go or no go. The boat runs well in a pool or small lake and does not get too upset if the water is not glass smooth. It is very maneuverable.

I have purchased other items from Hobbytron and they are a good vender if a tad slow on shipping.

For about $30.00 with shipping, it is a pretty good buy.

Waste of my money

when i first used this boat, it was great! after a few runs the length of each charge of the battery seemed to get shorter. then all the accessories on the boat started to break off. Now the little light has snapped off…I’m buying a new boat now because it is beyond repair…I wouldn’t recommend this…

nice little toy for casing ducks around the take we have down the road.

Down side, the battery only last about 15 -20 minutes tops.

Better buy was the Smasher Destoryer, little bit more but was faster and battery lasted for 45 minutes….. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G4TN5Q/ref=s9_simp_gw_s0_p21_t4?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0FAFQ0G4CW8EWSDTJH67&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
