"This thing is crazy fun, its fast, agile, wicked powerful, sounds great, looks better, is stable as can be, and it gets about 20 mins of flight time. It is unforgiving, especially when I while learning to fly (which will never stop) panic due to losing my ability to understand the orientation and how to pull out of some ridiculously risky thing I have tried. It does bruise the ego when shortly after lift off the neighbors BBQ crew of Saturday evening friends have a laugh due to my smashing full force into the lone tree in a 3 acre park area that happens to be the neighborhoods large central "backyard". I've pushed it to the point of full on acceptance that I had flown it out of the ionosphere never to see it again when to my amazed self still nursing a drone I thought long gone slowly downward it appeared and I recovered it."
"the most fun you will have for the money if you like to fly - I almost bought another after 1 flight - I leave the camera and landing gear off and this thing is all motor and really good range - I haven't been beep warned yet. UPDATE as much as I enjoyed this drone - ( i purchased this one in August ) - I had a fly away a couple of days ago (after hours off problem free fights - I was in a huge open field away from any interference and fresh batteries and she did not respond to my controller - i looked for days but did not find it so I guess even the Bugs had a bug -- i hope the new one i ordered doesn't do this but won't know till the weather warms up in the up of michigan - both bugs 3 were bought through amazon - WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE BEST DRONE OUT THERE?"

"Awesome car!!"
"Definitely it's super fast and i mean fast. With out a doubt like i said crash it so many times and it just keeps on going like new and a really cool thing i that you can replace every single piece so don't worry about getting a new one just replace the broken part!!!"
"I thought this would be just like all of our other RC cars, but it totally blew me away! Cons: My only compliant was, turning was a little hard to control because of the speed. My kids couldn't keep their hands off this toy, and they had soooo much fun playing w/ it."
"I waited two or so hours before I took the battery off, after I already wait 2 hr to see if it was solid green. The second truck I received had a few that were loose, one that was on the driveshaft housing. Nothing stopped it (except tall grass, it’ll high center) the truck climbed every step-up with no problem, it will jump gaps with ease, runs over stones and pretty much anything that gets in its way. The Company that sells this RC truck at least tries to make up for any problem you might incur."
"Awesome RC Grade hobby car for the price and it's very fast."
"My son thinks he must be on the naughty list to get such a bad gift. Had to Google search their exchange/returns page because it wasn't even linked from main site."
"Worked for about an hour and stopped working."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The kids have been begging for a drone (I believe this movement was started by my husband), so I started searching for one that was a good price point so I wouldn't be too disappointed if it was junk. My husband was worried that the price was TOO inexpensive and therefore it must be no good."
"I love how this mini drone stows away in the remote."
"My only complaint is the user guide and website is pretty lacking, the drone has a series of light flashes that I can't find any descriptions for their meaning."
"Specifically, it hovers pretty well, and it's automated landing and takeoff make for an easy start. Also, though flying in open spaces is suggested, we had no real trouble getting it to work and my daughter."
"We have been playing with it every day since we got it."
"The Drone did very good job in terms of stabilization and holding the altitude, we did not try other functions yet, but with the blade protectors (which came in with the package) He could play with it in-door without any problem and no worries about damage it. The build materials are very durable and high quality, I hope my kid could play around for a while without damage it with the extra set of blades it offered."
"It is well-made and sturdy too (the other ones broke fast because they were not controllable and cheaply made -- this one never falls or bumps into anything, so easy it is to use!"
"Very well thought out & engineered!"

"Bought 2 & the boys loved them!"
"My son got this for Christmas and he is constantly playing with it."
"Had to purchase extra batteries because they don't stay charged longer than a few minutes."
"12 yo grandson loves this !"
"For the money, its a good buy."
"The Potensic U42WH drone comes with the drone, a set of extra blades, 4 blade protectors, 2 landing gears, 2 drone batteries, the HD camera, remote control with a shade panel for phone, usb charging cable for batteries, a tiny screw driver (for securing the blade protectors), and instructions. You will need to charge each drone battery for 100 minutes according to directions and it did take the full 100 minutes before the light turned green, indicating a full charge."
"There were several icons along the top of my phone and each one performs some basic functions like take photo and record video, all of which worked well. The camera in the drone is not the best but you can clearly see things in the photos that the drone takes, Hover mode just keeps the quadcopter hovering at whatever height which does actually allow you a bit more freedom."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The only parts that need stickers are the complicated designs on the chest and cuffs--and even then, in both cases the plastic underneath has the patterns raised up a bit. Cons: - The four concealed arms can't rotate; their angle is entirely dependent on the binder they're attached to. Also, the claws can't hold anything, which is a bit of a shame since in the show they were once used to snatch another mobile suit's beam saber away and transfer it to the Kshatriya's hand. - Despite being an incredibly heavily armed mobile suit in-universe, this model is pretty spare on accessories. - While the manual claims that it can retract the binders into the protective shell thing that it uses in the show, the end result on the model isn't quite as pretty."
"One con, as other modelers have already noted, you only get one set of open fists, no other hands, investing in some after market options or swapping out for hands from another kit is a possibility."
"I will say you'll want to be careful with the dark grey parts, as the plastic feels a little more brittle, though that may have just been on my kit."
"Make sure you have the shelf space for her when she is fully built. It's hard to make them look good since you have to apply them on curved plastic."
"Once I've built this gundam it is massive for a 1/144 scale, and I love the detail work of her."
"Considering that Kshatriya is one of my all time favorite mobile suits, this was nothing short of incredible to build."
"Fast Despatch."
"Love putting this thing together."

I was also impressed that the actually used water to help keep the motor cool. In addition, there is a sensor on the bottom to let the electronics know the boat is in the water."
"the controller has trim adjustments you can make while driving it, mostly because it is very responsive and has a higher speed. the motor has the prop, a higher speed fin like on real boats to control its direction. if you are operating it in a small area be careful as it is easy to spin it out of control."
"Fast and powerful!"
