Boat Review

Best Review on Championship Speed Electric Remote Control

I live in an apartment which overlooks a pond so I decided to purchase one of these after making sure there were no rules against it. I already own a Hobbyzone Firebird Freedom RC airplane so I know this company makes great products. The Zig Zag Racer turned out to be the perfect choice for my apartment pond. Its virtually silent so I don't annoy my neighbors but it zips right along and turns on a dime. The standard 6-cell battery pack might be fine for a swimming pool but in my opinion is not fast enough for a large pond. I would highly recommend the optional 7-cell battery packs and charger available at [...] (RA-H2/3A7R3FMTx2 and CHUN-123 and CN-Adaptor(F-M)MTM). This is by far the best price I have found on these battery packs and the charger works perfectly every time. The difference in boat speed was worth the extra cost, plus the same batteries and charger can be used for other Hobbyzone products (such as the Firebird Freedom).

Best Review on Traxxas 1834 Body Clips 12 Piece

Electronics, gadgets, and tools make up the majority of my Amazon purchases so I wasn't really sure about how to pick a good nail buffer. I use cyanoacrylate adhesives for my RC plane hobby and it's not uncommon for me to get some on my nails. I usually end up picking at the dried up glue and it leaves my nails looking scuffed up and cloudy. For this very reason I've purchased a nail buffer at Target before and it worked good enough for my needs but it fell apart after a single use. I decided to use Amazon this time around and trust the crowd rating to get a longer lasting buffer. This Flash Shiner Nail Buffer is on a whole other level. I really only intended to do the nails that had dried up glue on them, but they ended up looking so glossy and shiny that it made the non buffed nails look out of place. So, the next thing I know I buffed all the nails on my right hand. Of course then I look at one hand next to another and I have no choice but to remain symmetrical so, the left hand gets the same treatment. As I buffed away I couldn't get over how shiny my nails were becoming; it was like claying your car and having a fresh coat of wax! It's been 5 days since I buffed my nails and they still look like I have a clear coat on them. My girlfriend has her own thoughts on my nails now being glossier than hers so I'll be using this product sparingly, but my sister, mom, and coworker all have added this to their shopping list after having seen my nails. OK, that's enough...time to go kill something and eat it over an open fire I built with my bare (but beautiful looking) hands.

Best Review on German Bismarck Military Battleship Control

I was passionate about RC when I was younger but had outgrown my obsession a few years ago. I had some extra cash to burn and bought one of these from my local hobby store a few months ago. Anyone who is into the expensive RC vehicles instead of the young children's style ones you find at Target knows that the list price does not include any accessories like batteries, or fuel for you nitro heads, and things of that nature. This does. Traxxas has included pretty much everything you will need to get rolling as soon as you open the box. But, those powerful LiPo's are not included, and neither is the charger for the LiPo's.

When I was heavily into RC, nitro was my favorite. But, the somewhat recent release of these killer LiPo batteries had me salivating ... I had to see for myself. The sheer voltage they can unleash is unparalleled. More voltage = more power! If you can afford the 3S LiPo's, you will not be disappointed! However, they are hard to maintain and they are not included in the box. A charger for the LiPo's will run you roughly 75 dollars, and the top-of-the-line 3S LiPo's can run close to $120, if not more.

They are not kidding that this thing will do 50+ with 3S LiPo batteries. If you can afford the total cost, you will be satisfied.

Traxxas is known for their tough products. I also have a six year old T-MAXX that rarely breaks. I have upgraded the engine several times (the engines inherently don't last long), however I have put roughly 50 gallons of nitro through the transmission in my T-MAXX. The transmission still 100% stock and has had no upgrades or replacement parts from day one. Actually, I have replaced the shaft with the reverse gear with a forward only shaft, but that was only out of personal preference, not because something broke. Plus, the radio I use is only 2 channel (it's old but trustworthy). This boat is no exception. Traxxas is awesome.

traxxas.com will give you more information. Personally, I have bought my RC vehicles, parts and accessories from either towerhobbies.com or the local hobby shop. The price listed here on Amazon is VERY competitive. Like traxxas.com, towerhobbies.com will also give you more information.

4ch Remote Helicopter Drift King

Read First Before Buy JXD Indoor Infrared Gyroscope Helicopter

I have been looking at purchasing a remote control helicopter for a long time, but had too many hobbies that came before R/C products. I bought the jxd drift king as an entry level helicopter, before moving on to bigger helicopters. I knew nothing about functionality or durability with any of the small indoor copters, but I finally flew a friend's drift king. For the price, I thought that I had nothing to lose. It was easy to fly right out of the box, considering the last time I controlled a moving object by remote was a toy remote control car from the 80's. I learned to fly this copter very well within 4 or 5 flights. It is very easy to maneuver and fly into tight spaces around the house. As far as durability, I have crashed the living (fecal material) out of this helicopter. I have flown it into the wall, dropped it from every bit of my 12 foot cielings, crashed it into furniture, and had my 2 year old grab it by the tail rotor and sling it across the room. The only damage is a few dents in the plastic blades. It comes with an extra set, but I am waiting until the damage on the current blades causes poor flight. This thing just keeps flying. Other reviews give it less stars for flight performance issues, but I don't know enough to complain about how it flies. I just bought one of the big double horse copters, and it is easy to fly due to my practice with the jxd drift king. My drift king will fly for about 10 minutes on a single charge and takes about 30 minutes to recharge. The 4 channel allows you to make sharp turns at high speed, once you get the hang of sideways flight. I could go on and on. For the expert, you may be bored with this little copter, but for the beginner, get one.
