I got this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas and just got around to putting it together. I don’t care if it works great or not, just neat to have a salt water powered toy car.

Here’s a closer look. Pretty neat.

The instructions are funny. And as Wacko pointed out, translated to Australian. Thanks Kinja.

My boys got a drone from their uncle for Christmas. The directions are in Engrish.

Yep, apparently so. Weird how it is right side up in edit mode. Thanks Kinja.

Too early for a thanks trump meme?

I think not since he already took credit saved thousands of American jobs.

My son got one from his grandmother a few years ago. It does, in fact, work with salt water.

Awesome. I’m going to give it a try at work tomorrow and see how it does.

Just remember, the only off switch is removing the salt-soaked filter paper. My son forgot this and it nearly suffered from a series of unfortunate events, all because he couldn’t figure out how to make it stop.

Thanks. I’ll definitely remember that. The back pulls off so I guess that essentially makes it like the switch. I alsl read where the little piece of metal will last for about 4 hours before it becomes oxidized. Good thing it came with more than one.
