Anybody got one of these? Hog, I think I read you do. What do you think of it?

I really have no good reason to get one (don't have a pool, nor live by a pond) but GODDAMIT these things look so COOL!

I didn't get clear details as to how it steers, no rudders. But I believe it's similar to how Digi-Qs steer, so one propeller spins faster than the other to turn?

And what kind of motors are in these things? This is probably a tough question because no one would want to rip it apart and mess the seal up.

Lovely.

yes i have one. and yes it is pretty darn cool. all ive been able to do so far is run it in the bathtub but its pretty fun.

steering: yes no rudder. two props. sits flat in the water and handles a lot better than i figured.

range: 9v in transmitter so is insane.

speed: pretty quick. i imagine its two motors and two cells but like you said i dont wana fudge the seal if i dont gota.

i got it for xmas but id buy one if i didnt have one.

They look sweet, and I have a big pool within 20 feet.

Payaso...HOLD OFF on buying it!

I've found a few websites that are selling it for ~$15 (New).

I'm at home, so I don't have the links now...But when I get to work I'll post up...And, you can even buy the 2xBoats (White and Red, 27MHz and 49MHz) for $30!

Now I REALLY want one (or BOTH!).

Good deal bro. I was just gonna send him the loot in paypal. I'd much rather have the set of two. That way I can beat my wifes ass in the pool. Thanks

ive never flipped mine. ive only ran it in the tub maybe a dozen times tho. i think if it did flip it would selfcorrect.

also i failed to mention the most useful part yet. the charger. the polarity is reversed from a bit charger but you are all smart and i suggest putting a charging pad from a bit or clone controller and hotgluing it on there.you could jbweld it on there if you really feel like it. kensshoponline also sells them. i know a guy who got one from them and he was happy with the transaction.

2 boat set from:

- Kens Shop
- RaidenTech

I'll probably be getting it from RaidenTech m'self...After the shipping their price is a little cheaper.
