Toys and Games Reviews of 23" Balaenoptera Musculus Radio Remote Control Racing Boat (colors may vary)
Customer Review: Mine was broken too, here's how I fixed it
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read a lot of people on here having the same problem with this boat that I had...the motor cuts in and out. At first I thought it was a problem with the circuit completing, so I attached a wire between the two copper propeller rods, but I still had the same result. Then I realized, maybe the motors are fine, the problem is they are not receiving the signal to activate. Lo and behold, that was the problem. If you are having the same problem as I was, your boat is fine. The problem is in the remote control. The remote control comes apart very easily, it's just 6 screws that hold it in place (remember to also remove the QC sticker on the bottom). Crack that sucker open and then you will see one small screw that holds the circuit board in place. Unscrew that and take out the board. If your remote is like mine, the antenna wire will fall right out of the board. There's the problem, the signal is not reaching the antenna. All you have to do is remove some of the solder from the underside of the board so the hole is open for the antenna wire. Then just stick the antenna wire all the way through the hole, melt some of the leftover solder onto the wire so it is firmly in place, and voila, your boat will now work perfectly.
I really went crazy with this boat trying to figure out the problem and RCToyVillage was how should I say....less than helpful. The good news is if your boat doesn't work, this 5 minute fix may very well get it to function properly. All you need is a soldering iron, you don't even need any extra solder. Shame on the manufacturer for letting this issue go, but with a Chinese factory, what are you gonna do? Maybe they aren't going to take over the world after all if they can't even get a remote control boat right! Anyway, I hope my little fix helps some of you that are experiencing this frutrating problem.
