Save your money!!! Apr 27, 2009
I have a lot of experience with all types of r/c models and this was a massive disappointment!

The boat arrived dead. I charged up the battery, installed everything per the instructions ... and nothing functioned; no motor, no rudder (it did float so I guess I should be thankful for that much).

Following the directions again, I called Megatech tech support. However, now tech support is ONLY available via email, only on weekdays, and takes 24-48 hours to respond to an inquiry.

After explaining the issue via email, Megatech said they might be able to service the boat, so long as I shipped it back to them (at my expense) and paid an additional $12.99 for return shipping ... to fix a NEVER functional boat. BTW, thanks to Ahmed in Megatech support for his note telling me to read the manual, just what I wanted to hear a the end of a string of email with Megatech's utterly useless support people!

Let's ignore for a moment that my boat was broken and that Megatech has non-existent tech support. I did get the boat to run by replacing the radio with one of my own (a $100 Futaba tx/rx). Here are my notes on how the boat finally ran.

1. Battery life, advertised at 15 minutes, is optimistically more like 8 (I got only two lengths of a backyard swimming pool before the boat started slowing down quite noticeably).
2. There's no reverse (this boat has a forward only speed controller that needs to be initialized every time you plug in the battery).
3. I had serious bouncing issues, where the boat would porpoise, not settling into a plane. Again I followed the instructions, trying various locations for the battery, to no avail.

The bottom line... this thing wouldn't ahve been worth the $80 I paid for it ... if it had actually worked out of the box. Save your $$ and buy something else preferably (for your sanity) from another manufacturer.
