Learn more about our rc boats and options.

Tower Hobbies is one of the leading sources for quality-built RC boats, parts and accessories. We offer one of the widest selections of RC boating equipment because there is a wide range in skill, hobby and interest levels.

It can be hard to know where to begin when buying your first RC boat and setting out for the water. It’s important to understand your current skill level, along with where you plan on setting sail, in order to find the right RC boat for your needs.

RC Boats for Beginners

There are many models and options available when starting out, so it’s important that you learn a few key areas when it comes to RC boating.

RC Boat Batteries

It’s important to understand your battery life when out on a body of water. An RC boat can and will run out of battery after an extended period of cruising on the water and it’s not fun if you have to fish out the boat yourself once it peters out. Having a second charged battery on hand can be a great way to increase your time out on the water.

RC Boat Controller Limits

In addition to battery life, it’s important to know what the range is on your model’s RC controller – especially on larger bodies of water. A beginner mistake is allowing the boat to get too far away and out of range for picking up the remote-control signal. When looking to purchase a reliable RC boat, it’s important to understand your intended application.

RC Boat Skill Level

Getting the fastest and most agile boat on the water can be fun, but it’s important to recognize your skill level. Fast RC boats can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour! RC boats can be more difficult to control and just like real boats, the RC boat can be at risk to capsizing. For beginners, you may try to find a boat with adjustable speeds and self-righting systems that help prevent issues from lack of control skill.

Types of RC Boats

We always recommend evaluating what type of hobbyist you are before making a boat purchase? Are you looking for fun, high-speed action or would you prefer a relaxing day at sail? Tower Hobbies offers a wide variety of RC boats, including RC boat kits designed to be built and driven by you. Check out our summaries below to find the right RC boat for your hobby.

Electric RC Boats

Electric RC boats use two types of electric motors – brushed and brushless. (You can learn more about the difference between brushed and brushless motors here). Electric RC boats are easier to get up and running and they are quieter and cleaner than gas RC boats. Electric boats come in a larger variety of sizes and hobby skill levels, whereas gas-powered RC boats tend to be used by intermediate or expert hobbyists.

Gas RC Boats

Gas-powered RC boats are typically larger due to the engine size, and offer increased realism, including smoke and noise of a gas-powered engine. Gas-powered RC boat engines do require some mechanical skills for engine tuning and maintenance but are typically faster and more water-resistant than brushed and brushless electric motors if well-tuned.

RC Sailboats

Remote controlled sailboats use the natural wind for movement and the user controls the boats steering and positioning of sails with a radio transmitter. RC sailboats come in a wide variety of options, including electric motors, which can be valuable when the wind dies down or better maneuverability back to shore.

RC Scale Boats

RC scale boats are based on real world ships, boats and vessels. These are typically sold in kit form, where the user builds the RC model, adds the motor and drive train and then sails the boat on the water. RC scale boat kits require skill in ship building as the model must float (balanced) and be watertight. These projects require significant time investment but can be exceptionally rewarding once completed.

Radio controlled.

Radio controlled model ships and model boat kits are popular hobbies for many enthusiasts. These miniature vessels are built to scale and are controlled remotely using radio frequencies. The process of building a radio controlled model ship or boat is a challenging yet rewarding experience. To begin with, the model builder needs to gather all the necessary tools and materials for the construction process.

The first and most important tool needed for building a radio controlled model ship or boat is a good set of plans. These plans provide the necessary measurements and details for the construction of the model. They can be purchased online or from specialty hobby shops.  Most Kits Come with good plans but sometime you may want more information than a kit provides so there are many books and model ship plans available online .

A Radio controlled model ship builder will need a variety of hand tools such as a hobby knife , sandpaper , and various sized drill bits. These tools are necessary for cutting, shaping, and smoothing out the various components of the model.

In addition to hand tools, power tools such as a mini drill, rotary tool , and scroll saw may also be used for more intricate and precise cuts. These tools are not essential but can make the building process easier and more efficient. Glues are also an essential component in model building. Different types of glues are used for different materials. For example, wood glue is used for wooden components, while super glue is used for bonding plastic pieces.

Once all the necessary tools and materials are gathered, the construction process can begin. The first step is to build the hull of the ship or boat. This is done by cutting and shaping the wooden or plastic pieces according to the plans. The pieces are then glued together, and any excess glue is sanded off. Next, the deck and other structural components are added, followed by the installation of the radio control system.

The radio control system is a crucial aspect of building a radio controlled model ship or boat. It consists of a transmitter, receiver, servos, and batteries. The transmitter is the handheld device used to control the model, while the receiver is installed inside the model, receiving signals from the transmitter. The servos are responsible for moving the various parts of the model, such as the rudder and sails. The batteries power the entire system and need to be charged before each use.

Once the model is built and the radio control system is installed, it is time for a test run. The model is placed in water, and the builder uses the transmitter to control its movements. This is where the true joy of building a radio controlled model ship or boat comes into play. Seeing the model come to life and being able to control its movements is a truly exhilarating experience.

In conclusion, building a radio controlled model ship or boat requires patience, attention to detail, and a variety of tools and materials. It is a hobby that offers a sense of accomplishment and allows enthusiasts to unleash their creativity. The end result is a beautiful and functional miniature vessel that can be admired and enjoyed for years to come.
