The RC Screw Driven Amphibian

This is the remote controlled vehicle that zips over grass, snow, sand, and water with the spiralling action of two motorized screws. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, and moving in a similar fashion to a snake’s undulation, the screws work in tandem to provide conventional forward/backward movement over surfaces that provide optimal traction on lawns, freshly fallen snow, beaches, and calm water. But at the command of a skilled remote operator from up to 130' away, the craft can side-shift left/right laterally and execute wide forward or backward left/right circles, enabling it to sidestep obstacles. While on water, its screws act as buoyant, spinning pontoons, allowing the craft to rotate 360° in any direction. Its rechargeable battery provides 30 minutes of operation from a four-hour charge using the included USB cable; remote requires two AA batteries. Ages 6 and up. 15" L x 12" W x 7 1/2" H. (2 lbs.)
