Product Description

Floating on a cushion of air just like a real one, MegaStorm is a true Hovercraft. This is made possible because it features a high-volume cylindrical blower (often referred to as a "squirrel cage" blower) for lift, which is much more effective than other types of impeller systems. MegaStorm floats and gracefully glides over calm water or any smooth surface like a concrete, linoleum or wooden floor. The independently controlled twin drive fans give forward, reverse, left, right and "turning-on-a-dime" control using the included twin-stick radio transmitter. The MegaStorm comes 100% built with rechargeable 9.6V battery and charger included. Just add one 9V battery for the transmitter and you're off and hovering!

Customer Reviews

Slow, doesn't hover well on land, sank after 15 mn of play
My son's best friend got one of those for christmas and we went to the lake to test it against my son's regular RC boat. The hovercraft was very slow and not quite that maneuverable. It hovered OK on water, but couldn't handle sand or concrete. The "skirt" slipped out of its track a couple times (despite our being careful fitting it as best as we could), filling with water - the foam inside it didn't prevent the boat from being swamped by the smallest wave (even in good shape it couldn't handle waves like the other boat.) The thin skirt finally ripped and the boat is pretty much unusable now. Big disapointment. It was somewhat fun while it worked, the concept was intriguing for the gearhead boys, but once the novelty wore off the regular boat was a lot more exciting and all the kids prefered taking turns running that one.

Save your money
I purchased this product for my six year old. The first one I received did not work at all (the main fan was borken). Amazon promptly replaced it, and after the initial charging, we were up and running. The run time is very short (about 10 minutes). The hovercraft does not get much lift, nor does it move particularly fast. It has difficulty moving over all but the very smoothest of surfaces. On the second day, my son accidently touched one of the rear fan blades while under power, and it snapped right off. On a separate occasion, we put the hovercraft (dry) on our kitchen counter, and the rubber skirt left a chemical stain that would not come off no matter how hard we tried. Finally, it was removed by a great product called "goof off", but still a slight hint of the stain remains. I would reccomend you save your money and your counter top.

Very Dissapointing
We purchased this item for our five year old for Christmas. Although it does work OK in the house on wooden floors, the battery seems to be very short lived (maybe 15 minutes). Using it on snow is almost impossible as it appears that the battery life is even shorter.

We accidently touched one of the prop blade when it was outdoors and it snapped off. We've been trying to find a replacement blade but have had no responses from the manufacturer or seller.

Without a doubt, we would not buy this product again.
