Revell Controll Fire Shot Multi-Terrain R/C Vehicle

It was a gift, I hope he liked it

Note to other users - if you have problems getting the controller to talk to the Fire Shot, turn the controller on, then the Fire Shot on, then move the controller about 1 inch away from the receiver on the Fire Shot. It has to be very, very close to establish the initial connection. After discussing this with Hobby Services, they offered to send me a pack of replacement propellers, which was very nice. My two young sons are having fun flying it.

RECIEVED IT UN PACKED IT AND CHARGED IT AND FIRST TIME TURNING IT ON I THROTTLED IT UP AND THREE SECONDS AFTER THROTTLED IT STOPS . YOU CANNOT KEEP THROTTLE ON ANY SPEED IT SHUTS DOWN THROTTLE IN THREE SECONDS, ITS DEFINITLY GOT A PROBLEM EITHER WITH LOOSEING ITS BINDING WITH CONTROLLER OR INTERNAL BATTERY IS GOT A FAIL SAFE FROM FULL DISCHARGE AND JUST SHUTS OFF AFTER THREE SECONDS AND IN THERE VIDEO IT SHOWS IT IN WATER TAKING OFF AND ON BOX STATES IT DOES NOT TAKE OFF FROM WATER ....LOL....MAKE UP YOUR MIND REVELLE !!! I DIDNT EVEN GET THIS THING OFF MY DESK AND EVEN DIDNT GET ONE TEST DRIVE SO BACK IN THE BOX AND BACK TO VENDER ITS DEFECTIVE THREE SECOND THROTTLE WHAT GOOD IS THAT REVELLE ????

I loved this at first. Tons of power and stayed in the air no problem. After a reasonably soft landing the water, one of the motors only worked sometimes. I thought it was the battery but was the same after a recharge. Turns out it had loose wire. The right prop would only spin when the joystick was selecting both motors, not for turns. I took it off, fixed the wire and put it back on the plane. Unfortunately, it never flew again. The balance of power between the two motors is extremely touchy. Great concept, but this toy is only good for a one-time use. Oh, btw the little electric prop motors are NOT waterproof. They have vent openings that expose the insides to the air/water.

Little hard to fly if there is any wind. But he really likes it and will be a ble to fly in the non windy days.

good

It is a really good plane. It is kind of hard to make turns so it take a lot of space. Along with that you got to make sure you use full throttle to take off than switch to cruising speed to not swerve, which can make it easy for the plane to hit someone, which can cause quite a bit of harm, but overal its a pretty good toy for kids that like planes.

Not up to hobby grade standards. Not enough power to take off from anything other than smooth asphalt. Not enough power to take off from water. One of the styrofoam pontoons broke within 5 minutes of use after hitting the ground from about 5 feet in the air. Also, the controls are backward. When you steer left, it causes the left motor to run, making it go right. Not worth the small price of $35. You're better off paying more for a Joysway Dragonfly.
