I have one and Ive never used it. Doesnt look like would get out of its way. I'm thinking about just returning it. It was a gift. Anyone here have any info???

I got one as a gift last year...It's a fun toy, but it's not going to break any speed records if that's what you're wondering about. One of these days I want to put it up against Cig1's R/C Fountain and leave him in my wake..

Does it even get up on plane? Or does it just putz around? I was thinking of putting the money towards somthing a little nicer.

Handles the roughwater great!

It gets on plane and goes faster than I thought it would, but it's definitely not as fast of some of the serious (and more $$$) R/C boats I have seen. If you just want to use it as something fun to play around with from time to time it's great. If you really want to get into R/C boats, then you might be better off with something else.

I wonder if these are faster?

I have one of these that has been sitting on shelf for ever. Anyone interested in it. Offers?

Thanks.
