POCO DIVO Atlantic Yacht Luxury Modern Cruise 28" RC Model Boat Radio Remote Control Speed Watercraft Racing Ship, Red

Amazing tech has been great to deal with. Quick to respond to direct questions and helpful when there were issues. Like other buyers the main complaint is not having reverse. But there were a few hiccups with our purchase I wanted to share. Since the boat uses reverse differential, as another buyer mentioned, the left and right propellers turn in opposite direction from one another. So to make the boat move forward the right motor turns the opposite direction as the left one and only the different directions of the propeller blades make the boat move forward (or so it should have been…). In our case the right and left propellers were the same direction. So the left motor was pushing forward while the right one was pulling backwards. This caused the boat to always turn right when attempting to go forward and it caused the boat to basically stand still and slowly rotate to the right when trying to turn left. Very confusing at first! The seller did provide 2 spare propellers, one of which was correct for the right side, leaving 2 spares for the left side only. Once we replaced the propellers, the boat drove left, right and straight as expected. We contacted the seller to inform them of the problem and they were willing to send us a couple right side replacement propellers at no cost. I am very appreciative of the seller’s assistance and willingness to work with us since this was a gift for my nephew.

Overall I like the Yacht.The instruction did not show where to place the antennas and I needed to Google the boat model to find a you tube video of someone unboxing one of these boats. Until today, I had never used an RC boat so I needed help finding where everything’s went. One thing that I do not like is the antenna mount was not glued straight up and down or at a slight rear angle. It almost touches the boat. I will need to lightly sand the antenna mount so I can install the antenna.The boat wants to angle to the left. It will make sharp turns. I wish it would reverse.After several minutes after high speed use, the motors will get HOT. This will happen even though you also use it at low speed to. Let them cool down for a while before using it again.One of the wires shorted out on the left motor. When this happened, the boat would only turn to the right. To get it back to shore, as it was coming around to face the shore, I “gunned it “ to help it get to shore faster. It helped that there was a slight breeze blowing across the lake. I did notice the the tape on the side of the boat is starting to peel from the top.The controller gives an audible “ out of range” and “ low battery “ warning. This works WELL.The boat comes with a 2000 mAh 8.4 volt battery. I do not know how many minutes it lasted, but driving it slower will get you more time.Buy an EXTRA battery. This will get you more play time.I will be adding a small flag on a wire to the back of the boat. This will make it easier to see when it is way out there. The boat is small, even though it is a Yacht. But the lake I was at is several hundred feet across.

The boat is just the right size and easy to control. Glides great on the lake.

These Heng Long yachts are fun, but do reqire some modifications to make them enjoyable. We own four (2 Salinas and 2 Atlantics) after sealing the leaks, silicone in the universal cups for noise/vibration, plasti-dip the interiors for sound proof/weight and relocate battery for more even weight distribution we love them.

No me agrado que publicitaran un cr con alcance de 120 metros y envíen uno que solo llega a 80 metros.Que no tenga marcha atrás...Que no se pueda timonear desde el cr...Y no poder localizar un lugar donde pedir accesorios para el barco.

We like these Heng Long yachts, but only after some thoughtful modifications. We own four. Out of the box they are noisy and leaky.

Like others have said, I wish it had a reverse, the "Sport" on my radar arch was put on upside down, but other than that works great.
