Product Description

Explore the depths of your fish tank, pool or fountain with Megatech's Ocean Explorer-1 submarine. Our deep diving research sub will probe depths up to 6 feet while maintaining a solid radio link. With its twin motors and fully proportional radio control, the Explorer-1 dives, ascends and executes "turn-on-a-dime" maneuvers in case you happen upon a pool-dwelling Kraken. The Explorer-1 comes with three front mounted high-powered exploration lights for missions into the deep while elusive giant goldfish curiously look on. Built-in red and green sequential flashing running lights also alert timid mammoth angle fish they're about to have a close encounter with the upper world. The Ocean Explorer-1 comes completely assembled with rechargeable battery power, and only needs 8AA batteries to power-up the two-channel surface command transmitter. Should your Explorer-1 ever run out of power, experience radio-link interference, fear notâ?¦our failsafe system is preset to automatically shut down the engines and blow all ballast sending the Explorer-1 safely on an emergency return trip to the surface. And with the fast recharger, before you know it you'll be ready to shout, "Dive! DIVE!" and begin your voyage to the bottom of the sea.

This review is from: Megatech Ocean Explorer-1 Submarine with Radio, Battery and Charger (Toy)

I got this submarine for Christmas and I was so excited about it. I drove it around in the bathtub with the lights in the bathroom off and the little submarine lit up the whole bathtub! This isn't a very fast sub, but it is still really fun! If you have a pool this would be a great toy because of how far down it can go and still be in range of the transmitter. I have had no problems with this sub and it is just so fun to relax and control a little sub around in my fishtank with all the lights off. The submarine is very manuaverable and responsive to the transmitter. You only have to charge the submarine for 2 hours instead of most RC toys having to be charged for 4 hours. Megatech says it only gets 15 minutes of battery life but it really has a battery life of about 25 minutes. The one thing that is less than desirable is that when the submarine gets old and will not hold a charge anymore, you can't just buy a new battery because the battery is inside the Sub. For this reason do not overcharge it. But otherwise this is very fun and I would definitly recommend it.

This review is from: Megatech Ocean Explorer-1 Submarine with Radio, Battery and Charger (Toy)

This toy blows all the other subs out of the water, when i first got it for my birthday i put the batteries in and bam it already worked. Although it needs to be charged for 2 hours it is real fun to drive around the pool, aquarium, or pond. WARNING (do not user in salt water!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool!, June 8, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Megatech Ocean Explorer-1 Submarine with Radio, Battery and Charger (Toy)

This submarine is so cool! You charge it up then just plug in the top piece and it goes underwater like a real submarine. I used it in our pool outside. It goes down up to 6 feet underwater! I could see it fine even though it is small because of the lights. Then my friend went in teh pool with goggles on to watch it while I controlled it. It was so much fun!

It lasts a long time too. it takes a while to charge it up again though but not too bad. It is compeltely sealed too so no water can even get inside of it. It really works so good. I want to try it in my friend's fish tank.
