Does the water ever leak, or get into the motor (does the water ruin the helicopter) ?

We have only used the water feature about three times, but we have never had water leak. Our son continues to enjoy playing with it on an almost daily basis.

No it does not leak. it also never disrupts the motor. The one thing i will say is if you loose the spout that injects the water into the helicopter, then you will not be able to use water at all.. unless you find a new piece

Doesnt work at all, the water tank goes to the engine will ruin the helicopter. No point on buying this at all rather buy those that shoot darts. Even though u dont use the water jet the helicopter itself is not calibrated to fly straight, keeps going left/back, and battery last only 4 minute when u charge it for 1 hour. Hope this help.

All electric R/C motors are "waterproof." Or rather, the act of running them in water does not cause failures but if you leave them wet, sitting on a shelf, the metal components will begin to rust and corrode.

Got mine about a week ago and this thing blows canned air out of the water. The motor has a 5 year warranty on it and it's really the only part I would worry about breaking since it's really the only moving part

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

It can go in the water, but I wouldn't consider it a water toy. It has to be drained out afterwards, as do the rest of the fleet.

The motors will not spin until it's in the water. You can also open the top touch the motors with your forefinger and thumb and they spin. I hope this helps

You turn it on and then submerge it. You shouldn't leave it running long out of water but a moment is fine. Turning it on seals the motor and battery compartment. This is a very useful tool and I highly recommend it.

Yes it does. There is a tank on the engine you fill with water. We tried this out before giving it to our grandson....we wont be showing him this feature till next summer!

The motor ABSOLUTELY burns out without water, if you left it on after you were away for two weeks this is most likely why it no longer works. Mine was still functioning after three years, but my cat passed away at 23.

Mine got water inside the case after 25 meters with the case mounted on head strap. However it has no problems if you don't dive deep.

You can fix it by trimming (balancing) the helicopter through the remote control. Please refer to instructions manual for details.

Had the same problem- everything was fine until I changed the filter & the next thing I knew it was leaking like crazy- I almost threw it out but decided to re-assemble the whole thing again. The tube on top of the motor has to be in the corner so it goes directly into the tube of the raindrop cover. The cord from the motor needs to be flat and in the little insert. If everything is not lined up just so, it will leak. I also moved the lever on the motor -it was all the way to the left and I put it mid-way. Who knew it was so delicate that a few millimeters would throw off the whole system. I like the fountain but that's a design flaw they should alert you to- ruined a little rug I had too.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

no. not entirely. the esc and receiver are waterproof. not the motor. don't go submerging it

We have not had a problem and often launch of the beach. We do lift the kayak going into the water until the skeg clears the ground. But sometimes coming in on a wave we do end up in shallow water no damage so far. Love our kayak. Very very happy with it. We go in seas, rivers and lakes. We do try to be careful with the skeg though.

Both of mine have the motor under the bowl. But it is NOT SUBMERSIBLE. You have to remove it before cleaning. Easy to do, but don't forget!

is the water level drops below the intake, it spits and spurts.... low enough, doesn't spray at all. The directions say that allowing the unit to stay in the sun w/o water will damage the pump.
