USS Missouri US Navy Battleship RC Military Model Boat 1/250 Remote Control Marine Warship

Was gifted one of these. The grandkids loved it so much we got a second one. To tell them apart I parted parts of it tan.Problem 1) The gift one would not work when placed in the water. Solution was to resolder a wire attached to the propeller shaft inside the boat. I took the deck off and found the loose wire. Once soldered on again it works great. The deck comes off with a Phillips screwdriver.Problem 2) as stated by others, these boats will get water in them and the electric motors won't last long after that. My suggestion is to verify it is in working condition by running it is water (there is a resistance circuit that let's the boat work when propeller shafts are wet (zero resistance between them). After I verified working, I placed silicone sealer around the deck to seal it. Just put a bead on and use some soapy water in a now to wipe your fingers off after you smooth the bead. Allow silicone to cure for 24 hours and enjoy.Batteries last about 20ish minutes. Enough time for kids to be ready to do something else. Me too for that matter. I forgot that I use it too, lol.The grandkids are enjoying playing with two. If one ever goes out, I'll salvage some parts and use them on the next one. Parts like the battery can be reused with another boat of the same model.Buy and enjoy.

The media could not be loaded. This boat is surprisingly fast and sturdy. I read all the reviews. My nephew really wanted a WWII style boat for playing with in my pool. It was easy to set up. As the reviews mention the battery life can be short but they can still play with it in the pool even when the battery stops working (just pushing it around). It did come fully charged for immediate gratification purposes.

Expected a little better at this price point. Cheep / inappropriate materials used in fabrication, and poorly constructed. You'll be lucky if this lasts a season. Save your money.Lots of thin brittle plastic 'detail' on top that breaks very easily, but it's the components used underneath that disappoint the most. This is a boat. It will get wet. That much should be no surprise, but the extent to which water leaks inside (no capsizing or submersion occurred), and the extent of corrosion to the propeller shafts and motors as a result are bad. Yes I followed all instructions to drain and vent after use. The drive system is seized to the point of non operation at this point. If you want a toy that will last more than 10 excursions and more than one 'season' look elsewhere before you waste your money. If you are still reading at this point, beware some of the other glowing reviews - they cannot be for this same product.

It was a gift and he liked it.

this boat is Amazing!!!!! it lasts about 1 hour, and it works great. thank you!!!!

This is a very powerful boat, almost too powerful... In our 20' round pool we can't even get it up to full speed before having to throw it in reverse to avoid crashing it into the sides. Suitable for a larger pool or lake, etc.Quality has gone down somewhat since I got the Smasher several years ago; the various mid-sizes guns don't point,they just flop down. Additionally, the entire command structure with the third main gun is backwards. Should have 2 main guns in the front, one in the back. Only fits the opposite way.

These guys are great! We were very impressed with this battleship. We put it in the pool and played all day. The next time it wasn't as good and I figured out that the battery pack had a loose connection. I emailed the company for just another battery pack and got an email back the next day with tracking number. Our battleship is back to full power and an absolute winner with the kids and adults.

Love the ship but I’ve purchased 2 and they don’t last very long. They both have broken after 2 months of use.
