I love how we re just 40 years old boys playing very similar games we did back when we were kids :D just a bit more elaborate to give ourselves a reason :D

Yes, it's good to have a hobby. And important to be young at heart. 👍

I just bought one and for the price it's absutley lovely. For an extra $20 on Amazon I got an extra 4 batteries so we'll over an hour of use for very little money. It seems to be one of the very few cheap and cheerfully slow rc boats on sale.

Its a nice little scale boat. And for the money unbeatable!

Hehehehe your heart just sinks when they get stuck out there. That's why i always take two, sometimes three spare!!

It's so cute! Looks a good one for mods,boats are always noisy out of the water,so wouldnt worry too much about that.Hull and bodyu look pretty scale as well🙂

It's not a bad looking thing. It's small enough to drop in a rucksack just in case of an emergency! 🤣

I'm in an RC boat club and a couple of us bought these little guys because they were so cheap. They're fun actually, decent run time for what it is. I might add a Styrofoam block somewhere below decks because I worry about it sinking 🙂 These are decent for pushing in another guy's boat that stalled.

@theodoreolson8529 yes, they are definitely a bargain. That's why I bought it as a backup, just in case we had a failure. It's been used a few times now in this role! 😃👍

Awesome review Oliver! I’ve been eyeballing this since it came out, and thinking the same as you. What a great little recovery boat. Seemed to work out Fairly well . I’m just wondering what to expect for range? Also, I wonder how it would do at catching perch down at my perch pond. Think it’s got enough power to bring one in?😂

@theminiatureconstructionco4556 6 ай бұрын

I'm not sure about the range. I kept it within 20 metres because it's only small, and it would make for a difficult video. You could try fishing with it, but it would be like the end scene from Jaws! Or it would just get pulled underwater like one of those barrels! 🤣

I suggest- like an ocean tug- attaching your tow line closer to amidships; then you should still be able to change heading while the tow is under tension. Also- as you discovered- keep the attachment point as low as possible!

Yes I think you are right. 👍

I getting into boats again, I fly drones as well and like r/c cars. I have joined Runcorn model boat club, as I have lost an £80 brushless speedboat going it alone in local park when motor quit, so at least at a boat club you can always retrieve your boat, share knowledge and experience etc. I like the look of this little thing, might order one it looks "cute" yet functional. I got a Shrimp boat (hydroplane) built but waiting on some new 3 cell lipo's for it.And I got a new UDIRC UDI908 brushless speedboat on order.So this tug would be a welcome addition to the fleet!!! Hopefully should have some enjoyable days at the pond !!!

Hello 👋. Don't forget to use the link in the description, it helps loads if you are. Yes, It can be a bit treacherous on your own, hence the little rescue boat. Joining a club is a great idea, loads of like-minded individuals. Happy boating! 👍😄

I bought one waiting for it to come. I don't have a pond close home but it is so good looking I'm gonna have it for show at my desk by now. I bought the yellow one

You don't need terribly deep water to run it. It is a good-looking little thing. You right. 👍

Good idea. I just used the blocks because they were to hand. 👍

@richarddorsch7275 2 ай бұрын

It looks like those floats are to large and heavy so the tug suffers in maneuverability. I think using small plastic fishing bobbers would be better.

@theminiatureconstructionco4556 2 ай бұрын

I think your right. 👍

@simonfeldman-yp7sg 5 ай бұрын

Is it possible to remove the deck and access the hull and electric motor(s)?

@theminiatureconstructionco4556 5 ай бұрын

I bet the two halves of the hull split. That's if they haven't glued them together. 👍

@theoztreecrasher2647 2 ай бұрын

On the odd occasion when the gent has the bottom of the boat unintentionally in view whilst conducting the 1812 Overture with it, it would seem that there are a few depressions in the plastic that might be for screws that hold the deck and hull together. Probably it will have at least some form of Chinese snot to glue/seal the 2 sections as well. The Bang-ya-good listing quotes 50m range with the toy 2.4ghz Tx AND a beep warning when you are getting near to losing radio contact. The listing also notes the maker as "SG Pinecone" who also make the excellent little twin-motor SG-F22 "jet" foamy plane.
