RC Boats

A rc boat or radio controlled boat is lots of fun in the summertime. There are all types of boats available from the slower moving sail boats to the really fast speed boats. RC boats also come in the electric variety and the nitro boats.

The electric rc boats use batteries in both the boat and the transmitters. Nitro boats on the other hand are fuel powered for the boat and the transmitter uses batteries.

One of the drawbacks to the electric variety of RC boats is the battery usually lasts for only about 20 minutes. It is best to have 2 or 3 extra battery packs all charged up, so you can continue playing for at least an hour or so.

A really cool place for many types of rc boats is www.hobbieshobbieshobbies.com The prices are great too and shipping is free.
