So what do you look for when buying a Remote Control Boat?
It's not as easy question to answer as it may appear as there are many factors in play that all add their own little bit to the equation. Firstly, you have to consider what type of boat you'll be buying. For instance, buying a fast and speedy remote control boat over a more leisurely sailboat needs a different initial set of considerations. Do you just go for out-right speed? Maybe manoeuvrability is more important to you? Or do you only want something that looks fast, sleek and sexy?
Once you know what type of boat you're looking to get, then you can start to think about the more technical aspects of your remote control boat such as how many motors it has propelling it, battery life, the controller range and other such things that are listed below.
Naturally, if you're just want a boat. Any boat. Then little of what's on this page will matter, but some of it is still important and worth thinking about. Also, if you're a beginner to the hobby, don't try and distract yourself too much with the detail - just get yourself a cheap small boat, find some water and go out and enjoy yourself. If you find it fun and want a bigger / better boat, then start to look at the details the other remote control boats offer.
Remote Control Boating is an immensely fun hobby to be involved in and it's important you get the right boat for the water. Naturally, if you just want a bit of fun and nothing serious, you can overlook the above tips, but as you get more serious about the hobby, you'll want to take more and more of them on board.
