Toys and Games Reviews of R/C Cyborg Shark - Red by Swimways
Customer Review: Water FUN ! The kids scream their heads off
Summary: 4 Stars
R/C Technology has come a long way and is a lot cheaper than it used to be. I have only used this unit at the pool; I don't think it was designed for anywhere else. The kids will have a ball taking turns chasing each other around the pool with it. Battery life was much better than I expected for such a very heavy toy. They rechargeable battery has never stopped working with continuous use aprx. 20-30 min it never lost its charge. It is realistic looking in water except for where the sections are joined together and prop/guard red/blue. Your kids will scream in fear lol!
Pros:
1. Eyes light up red adding to the thrill.
2. Tail section can swish back and forth will diving deep or heading to the surface.
3. Bank left or right up/down.
4. Forward and reverse.
5. Able to skim along the bottom, middle or top of the water.
6. Remote is submersible, simple and well laid out, 3-channel throttle (forward/reverse) on right.
7. Safe prop I let even the little ones play with it.
8. Charges in a couple of hrs.
9. Battery compartment remains completely dry.
Cons:
1. Battery has to be removed for charging. (a big draw back in my opinion)
2. Transmitter non rechargeable (9volt batt. Not included)
3. Expensive (unless you get it on a Gold Box deal!)
4. Sections of shark/ prop etc not all same color as body.
Note: After each use I inspect the battery compartments for leakage. I leave battery covers off to retain shape of rubber seals (I use silicone based jelly on seal not Vaseline like manual say's working with rubber seals in the past I found that oil based lubricants deteriorates some types of rubber seals <KY jelly may be better than Vaseline>). Removing and replacing (a few turns at a time) the screws in a rotating pattern to prevent stress and create even pressure on seal. If you want something to last a long time, act like you will never get another one (even though it's just a toy).
