If you are thinking of the 'box art boats' with the 'return to shore' feature it does not work very well.

Checkout the new issue of R/C Boat Modeler Magazine-it has a review of the Traxxus nitro boat with the dc motor backup system to return the boat to shore should the nitro engine quit.
In fact, the Traxxus boat is on the cover of the magazine-look for the October, 2002 issue.

Yup, just go to the R/c Boat Modeler Magazine website-it already has the article there.

Other than the review, I don't know of any additional stories on the traxxus return system. You might adapt the unit to another boat. but the cost/work factors wouldn't be worth it in the long run.
