Good Morning,
we chekt out 3 Swimmers on the weekend, i drive my one in a lake with some waves...and very soft sand...that work not that good.....here 2 vids:
And jesterday wee meet on our playground and hat 3 there.
One was not working (gearproblems), but the 2 other do a good job.
I think what Jürgen write is an expanation why my one dont drive good in water the first times, they need some time to "drive in the gear and propeller" Klaus one woks very fast (in water) from the start.
Her 2 Vids from my one and Klaus one, my one with 2 Tamiya Kübel figs, Klaus one with one 1:18 21st and a Asiatam man, both now drive well, make a lot of fun

Mine.

Very happy of the details. Funny to drive and swim. Torro has made a good model with this shwimmwagen. For the price I paid, it is a very good deal.

Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...

So when you're in the water, will the prop spin in Reverse, or does it only go forward?

Hi,
sorry for the late answer...jes, it´s a german vehikel, can only swimm vorward.
The mechanism that holds the prob in place (in water) can olny hold it vorward, so no backdrive in water possiebel.
