This review is from: R/C Cyborg Shark - Red by Swimways (Toy)
A fun toy, but slow, not very responsive and certainly not durable. We only played it for 2 or 3 times this past summer and it stopped working, when I get some time, I plan to take it apart and try to figure why it doesn't work anymore.

Another thing I am not too happy about this product is that you have to remove the cover and take the battery out in order to charge the battery.

This review is from: R/C Cyborg Shark - Red by Swimways (Toy)
It is a great toy and awesome concept, but needs some design refinements and that is why I don't rate it too highly.

The 2 issues I had were:

1. The shark would dive to about 3-5 feet and then shut down and float to the surface. Once on the sureface, the shark would start responding again. No matter what, or where in the pool, we try this pattern keeps repeating. The exact depth is not constant, or predictable.

2. The pectoral fins break-off easily. They are held in place with screws that can allow you to detach them, but I found this impractical as the screw heads were getting damaged by the constant wear. I'm not sure if a replacement set should be included or some kind of snap and bend system that will yield to bumps, yet function normally in water.

This review is from: R/C Cyborg Shark - Red by Swimways (Toy)
My son had to wait for this for a while because it is rather expensive. It was worth the wait. This is so cool. It goes forward, left, right, back, and can dive. The remote can be used in the water, so he swims right beside it. The rechargable battery last about 1 hour, but AAs will last longer and it come with both the rechargeable and a pack for the AA. This toy gets lots of notice.
