The product, in the report: “23” Balaenoptera Musculus Radio Remote Control Racing Boat
I purchased an “23” Balaenoptera Musculus Radio Remote Control Racing Boat from RC Toys Village for my sons birthday. This was done through Amazon.com. I was somewhat reluctant to do so as about 50% of the reviews were positive and 50% were negative, but the price was low enough that I was willing to take a chance.
On May 28, 2011 we used the boat for the first time. It ran fine for about 5 minutes and then the battery appeared to be losing power so we brought it into shore and took it out of the water. While preparing the insert the second battery I had purchased, one of the rear propellers on the boat began to spin violently even through the remote control was off. My son was handling the boat at this time. I ran over, took the cover off, and turned off the boat, but the propeller continued to spin at a very high rate of speed.
At this point, the motor for the boat caught on fire. I was able to reach into the boat and unplug the battery which stopped the propeller and appeared to stop the electical fire that had begun within the boat.
This “toy” is marketed to 11 to 14 year old children. If I had not been there to handle the situation, or if this had happened while the boat was unattended in the house, I am certain that the situation would have resulted in very serious consequences, including my 11 year old son getting injured or a house fire.
