Getting Started with R/C Boats
Pick your Power
You can power your
boat with an electric motor (or motors) and battery packs. Because boats
have adequate interior space to accommodate two batteries, running times of
1-2 hours can be achieved with some models. Electric racing boats can go
20-25 mph and run for 4-8 minutes.
Gas power offers superior performance and realism in terms of speed, sound
and smoke! An outboard engine is easy to install: just bolt it on, hook it
up and it's ready to go. Inboard engines require running hardware, a
flywheel and water-cooled cylinder head. Newer inboards are now coming with
integrated pull-start units which makes firing them up a snap!
