This review is from: Remote Control Pirate Ship - SAIL MAY BE RED OR WHITE - COLOR SENT AT RANDOM (Toy)
Sliverlit RC Pirate shipI have had mine for about a year and I bought from another vender. It looks pretty nice, if rather toy like. I have had mine in the water once and then put it aside to dress up later with some weathering and figures. If you really must have a RC Pirate ship and the Aqua-Craft King's Ransom is too much, (Check out Tower Hobbies for the best price for that boat) this boat is okay. If you just looking for a low end semi scale RTR RC boat consider one of the others that I have reviewed as this one has some design issues. The biggest issue with this boat is that the battery access hatch is on the bottom of the boat, this would be no problem if getting a good seal was fool proof but it is not. The screws are particularly easy to cross thread making it very likely that the cover will leak. The sails make running the boat on a breezy day a challenge. This boat is sold a few different guises some with white sails some with black or red sails. The simulated shooting cannon is interesting, but I am trying to think of another way to use that control feature, (maybe a water cannon?) As far as overall value goes, that is hard to say. It is made fairly well. The key thing would be to find it for as cheap as you can (can be found for $50+or- including shipping if you look around on line). I think it included batteries but not a rechargeable one like some other RC in this price/ quality range do.

This review is from: Remote Control Pirate Ship - SAIL MAY BE RED OR WHITE - COLOR SENT AT RANDOM (Toy)
All in all this toy is fun and reasonable quality except for one crucial thing. The battery port on the ship has four small and deep set screws which hold the cover in place. We found that after one or two battery changes it became impossible to loosen the screws and change the batteries, therefore rendering the boat completely useless. It seems to me to be yet another great example of something being deliberately engineered to fail in order to secure another [...] + in sales. I would not advise anybody to purchase this ship.Pblackmore1@gmail.com |
