hi there , i bought a speed storm, it arrived today and the kids were excited , it looks the business but thats it. i read that it was fast and i thought it was far from it maybe theres something wrong , any help would be great , we have a little sling shot rc boat which cost 30 pounds and its 4 times as fast so something cant be right
Great looks - poor performance December 26, 2007

Even for the price, this is a terrible buy. Build quality is mediocre, battery life is low....and performance is pathetic.
I have a radio controlled sailing boat that is faster.
This boat is a cheap battery copy of a performance petrol engined RC model - and you need a petrol motor to get this heavy thing to perform.
I have now taken the motors out and put them in a boat 1/4 of the size....and even then they don't pack much punch.
If you want to disappoint someone with a lacklustre present, then this is the toy for you.

I've just bought this boat and it is big, the kids were well impressed taking it down to the pond.However this boat,like most boats under 100.00 do suffer in the radio control department. If there is no one else about then they are fine, but if there are Pro. R.C. sailors around -even if they are on different Mhz, the chances are your boat may just stop 10 feet away. This happened to me and some kind boaters sheparded my boat back. The problem seems that the R.C. is not powerful enough. There were 2 grandparents there with another boat and I mentioned this to them and they said they wondered why their boat worked at home but not here.
There seems to be plenty of room room to fit a good 2 channel R.C. in this boat and then sort out the steering ( the boat has 2 propellors and turns by switching one off ) for about 35.00 which I think is worth it to avoid the aggro.- I've been told that some people have uprated the engines. So I'm not the only one who thinks it's worthwhile.
