and a few pics of the Toyeast Mini Hovercraft
It actually works - not great, but what do you want for 15 bucks

I haven't examined it closely yet - its a 3 battery / battery pack. You have to unplug it from the craft and plug it into the controller ( 8 AA batts) to charge it. And the controller is huge
The f50 is sweet - very low - hard to tip

Believe it or not from a little newspaper store in NY. It ran like crap but I dualled it and put on some Motorworks tires and now its much better.

Detail Baby! What brand is the clone?
Man, I was all sold on the Dino. Might have to get the F50 too. Well thanks a lot!

I don't remember the clone name. Never saw it before. Some unknown brand. The chassis is regular crap but the pictures don't do the shell justice. Its pretty nice. A little smaller than a bit thought and the back axle is a little longer. And again, the F50 is SWEET!

to solve the back axle problem...ive done this before. on ms and zz axles, on one wheel there is a widener type thing on the inside of the wheel. cut that off.it still tracks fairly straight, and solves alot of the crappy clone gear mesh issues...
