I love how we re just 40 years old boys playing very similar games we did back when we were kids :D just a bit more elaborate to give ourselves a reason :D
It's so cute! Looks a good one for mods,boats are always noisy out of the water,so wouldnt worry too much about that.Hull and bodyu look pretty scale as well🙂
I just bought one and for the price it's absutley lovely. For an extra $20 on Amazon I got an extra 4 batteries so we'll over an hour of use for very little money. It seems to be one of the very few cheap and cheerfully slow rc boats on sale.
I bought one waiting for it to come. I don't have a pond close home but it is so good looking I'm gonna have it for show at my desk by now. I bought the yellow one
I getting into boats again, I fly drones as well and like r/c cars. I have joined Runcorn model boat club, as I have lost an £80 brushless speedboat going it alone in local park when motor quit, so at least at a boat club you can always retrieve your boat, share knowledge and experience etc. I like the look of this little thing, might order one it looks "cute" yet functional. I got a Shrimp boat (hydroplane) built but waiting on some new 3 cell lipo's for it.And I got a new UDIRC UDI908 brushless speedboat on order.So this tug would be a welcome addition to the fleet!!! Hopefully should have some enjoyable days at the pond !!!
Hello 👋. Don't forget to use the link in the description, it helps loads if you are. Yes, It can be a bit treacherous on your own, hence the little rescue boat. Joining a club is a great idea, loads of like-minded individuals. Happy boating! 👍😄
I suggest- like an ocean tug- attaching your tow line closer to amidships; then you should still be able to change heading while the tow is under tension. Also- as you discovered- keep the attachment point as low as possible!
Awesome review Oliver! I’ve been eyeballing this since it came out, and thinking the same as you. What a great little recovery boat. Seemed to work out Fairly well . I’m just wondering what to expect for range? Also, I wonder how it would do at catching perch down at my perch pond. Think it’s got enough power to bring one in?😂
I'm not sure about the range. I kept it within 20 metres because it's only small, and it would make for a difficult video. You could try fishing with it, but it would be like the end scene from Jaws! Or it would just get pulled underwater like one of those barrels! 🤣
On the odd occasion when the gent has the bottom of the boat unintentionally in view whilst conducting the 1812 Overture with it, it would seem that there are a few depressions in the plastic that might be for screws that hold the deck and hull together. Probably it will have at least some form of Chinese snot to glue/seal the 2 sections as well. The Bang-ya-good listing quotes 50m range with the toy 2.4ghz Tx AND a beep warning when you are getting near to losing radio contact. The listing also notes the maker as "SG Pinecone" who also make the excellent little twin-motor SG-F22 "jet" foamy plane.
I was using mine so happily, and suddenly the controller no longer connects to the boat. I have charged the battery, changed the batteries in the remote, nothing. I turn on the boat and it starts flashing as usual, I turn on the remote and it keeps flashing but now they don't connect. What happened? Does anyone know how I could fix this? Thanks :(

Yes, it's good to have a hobby. And important to be young at heart. 👍

It's not a bad looking thing. It's small enough to drop in a rucksack just in case of an emergency! 🤣

Its a nice little scale boat. And for the money unbeatable!
String and a tennis ball does the trick for me👍
That would work, too. 👍👌😀
Floating flyfishing line, bright color, some sort of float on end.
Just brought one as my first model boat before I start building one!
Decent little boat 👍

You don't need terribly deep water to run it. It is a good-looking little thing. You right. 👍

Cool toy

Very useful, too. Hopefully, it will keep me dry. 👍

Hilarious! 😅 I only laugh because I know your pain all too well😁👍
Hehehehe your heart just sinks when they get stuck out there. That's why i always take two, sometimes three spare!!
@@theminiatureconstructionco4556 I'm pretty confident with my DIY rig, but the Jet Jam is my #2 🙂
Is it possible to remove the deck and access the hull and electric motor(s)?
I bet the two halves of the hull split. That's if they haven't glued them together. 👍

@@theoztreecrasher2647 they make some good little RC's.
Replace blocks with pool noodles
Good idea. I just used the blocks because they were to hand. 👍
How do you turn on this boat because I bought it and I don’t know how to turn it on
I think you just plug the battery in. I don't think it has an on/off switch. 🤔
Awesome video. If you attach your towing point just behind the house the tug will turn much better while towing. SCBG4L
@@boatwerks I'll definitely have to try that. 👍
@theminiatureconstructionco4556 that's how we tow on the real tugboats
@boatwerks worth bearing in mind then.
It looks like those floats are to large and heavy so the tug suffers in maneuverability. I think using small plastic fishing bobbers would be better.
I think your right. 👍
How I can load the 3,7 V lion accu? With Smartphone Power Supply 5 V, 2A?
@@michaelschirr2116 not sure. What are you trying to archive?

"promosm"
No idea what that means.
