Chad's Crappy Corner & His Final 'Cheap Hobby' Gadget.

Chad polled our devoted Patreon members and for his September theme they picked “Cheap Hobby Gadgets”. Chad's final gadget this month's theme is (one of those endless Amazon product names) the Camecho 6CH Super Mini RC Submarine with Two Headlight High Speed Remote Control Boat Two Propellers (Blue) 

Here's what Amazon says about it: Submerge to depth of 1.0m underwater. Brand New and high quality. Ready to run and no assembly needed. Great gift for your kids or Submarine fans. CE identification, safe for your kids to play .Durable enough to get lots of surprise and fun. By the power from 3 motors, the submarine can submerge or go up rapidly during exploration. Material: ABS,Control Distance: 8 - 12 meters, Charging Time: 10 -15 minutes,Running Time: App 5 minutes,Battery in Sub: Built-in rechargeable battery, charged by the remote control Battery for Remote Control: 4 x AA battery

Currently unavailable.

And Chad's take: Chad agrees with most of the reviews. This product got 2.6 out of 5 stars from 138 reviews. As you'll see in the video Chad ran it in a plastic bin, so we couldn't judge the distance it could run. The description says 1 meter, so it can dive to about 3', and it says it can run 24 to 26'. The charging time Chad gave is the reverse of what Amazon says, but I think Chad is probably right because notice, even in the photo, the name on the submarine is backwards. Chad said he wish the sub was cheaper, more like $15, and he's concerned about the rubber nose pin you put in after you charge the sub. He's afraid it will fall out which would ruin the sub in water. You do get a spare in case you lose it though. All in all Chad can see why it took a 'dive' in the Amazon ratings. It's a so-so hobby gadget.
