Any idea what kind of range these will have? And.. uh.. what happens if you accidentally drive it out of range? ;)

usagi
10-28-2002, 08:21 PM
Do you really want to think about that:D.
I think there is some sort of recovery system on this boats.( uf I recall right).

Dux
10-28-2002, 08:29 PM
Oh, I thought the recovery system was a pair of wading boots :D

Usagi, what is this "nice price" which you speak of? 30$? 40$?

usagi
10-28-2002, 09:03 PM

I'd love to get one of these boats. But I'd have to use it in my pool only.

In Wisconsin if you try to run a boat as small as that in a lake or pond the bass and musky would eat it! :eek:

But for the price it will be a kick to fool around with.

Were there any other boat designs Usagi? Like jet boats, or ocean liners, etc.?

usagi

Right now these are the only two out. But maybe there might be a few more models. :)

Neato!

How long are the palm boats?

Iv got a few gas boats that run over 55 mph, but heres one that is smaller than even the palm boat with a sp400 on a flex drive with a graupner 29 mm. It flies like a skipping stone.

Youve GOT to have a retrieval boat to play in the water.

I think the Palm Boats are smaller than that.

lol, also my friend I talked to turns out he has a Coast Guard R/C boat (he used to be IN the Coast Guard so his wife got him one), we figure I can put a small afixed piece of iron somewhere on the boat since he has a magnet on the front of his and he can go grab me if I run out of juice ;)

This is my Micro boat! Its made by NKOK. It has 2 motors, no rudder. The boat uses thrust vectoring to steer, and works very well! The boat runs strait, and sits in the water very nicely! Very well made too!:D

Dux

AHH! Where'd you get that cool little thing?!

usagi
12-02-2002, 02:16 AM

I got this off ebay. You should be able to find these in a toy store.

The Boat works very well. As I said before it has 2 motors, 2 props(screws), and uses thrust vectoring to steer. The steering works quite well. The boat also move through the water very strait considering it doesn't have a rudder. Very nice little micro boat! :D

I searched for this boat & came up with many NKOK boats, but none that small..

whats the name & part# ?

WHERE can I get it ???:confused:

thanks

Mike:D

Dux
12-03-2002, 09:05 PM
Yeah! I think they're discontinued. I looked around on the nikko website and I can't find them.

The boats just came out, they will probably be a little hard to find for awhile.

The name of the boat is 64X ChargerZ Micro Sea Explorer Made by NKOK (not nikko). Sorry don't no the part number.

You might be able to find them at Toys r us, or Kay Bee Toys. I don't think there websites list these boats though. You should keep checking on ebay, I'm sure they'll pop up again;)

I've got a few of these. Also vector thrust.
You can bet I'll have a Palm Cruiser as soon as they are released.
