This one is in very nice shape! I don't have an Edge Hovercraft, but i do have 7 Typhoons. The motors are 370s so upgrading those will be very easy, just a matter of finding one that'll spin faster and not pull too much current. They do go surprisingly well on beach sand, especially if there is a nice big area of wet sand with a gentle slope almost flat into the shallow water. That amount of extra front weight will certainly cause it to dive, the water flows up over the front of the skirt which starts to push it down.
I have one of these, in the blue. I really need to modernize it with some fpv hardware. I figure modern brushless DC motors it will get the skirt to inflate a bit better. Plus I need to replace the skirt, I think mixing together some 3d printing for the inner and outer beads and some latex sheet for the bulk of the skirt would work.
Its very hard to upgrade these I saw a few youtubers that could not do it it just burned the electronics and they gave up. Are you go going to make videos ?
OMG I miss mine, I had one in my younger days and it was the best! I am truly amazed nobody has made a newer version, especially with the advance of lithium batteries and electric motors.
Thanks for the informative video! I have the same Hovercraft but the boot does not inflate, or maybe just partly inflates. Do you know why this is? I bought it new so nobody tampered with it before.

It looks just like I remember! Though it didn't last all too long, I had a ton of fun with it!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
I Love to make people happy 😀
I had the exact same hovercraft… lovely memories of racing and smashing in to my brothers one… blue vs yellow!!

Toys, TV shows and movies have such powerfull childhood memories

Pls make a video 😁
I just got one of these. Upgrading electronics and props 😀

Yeah its a shame they don't make it anymore.
It would be fast with lipo's
Did you try it with the 2000 mAh bat. without the gps? Maybe that would be enough to keep it from nosediving?
Without the gps and original battery its fine
I had one and it died just after a couple of meters. That’s a big gap in my childhood and I want to catch up. But can’t find one to buy…
They are rare because most broke and nobody cared to keep them 😋🥲 so its not really a Collectible

Must be a leak of airflow
Or a to weak battery maybe
