12 best rc model boat kits
RC model boat kits are popular among hobbyists and enthusiasts who have a passion for remote-controlled watercraft. These kits provide individuals with the opportunity to build, customize, and operate their own miniature boats, replicating the experience of sailing, racing, or simply enjoying the water from a remote perspective. Here's what you should know about RC model boat kits:
Types of RC Model Boats: RC model boat kits come in various types, including sailboats, speedboats, tugboats, fishing boats, and more. The choice of kit depends on the individual's interests and preferences.
Building Experience: RC model boat kits are designed for hobbyists who enjoy the process of building and assembling. These kits typically include all the necessary components, such as the hull, motor, propellers, servos, and sometimes even radio control equipment. Assembling the boat can be a rewarding and educational experience.
Customization: Building an RC model boat from a kit allows for customization. Hobbyists can choose to paint the boat, add unique decals, and even modify certain components to enhance performance or appearance.
Radio Control: RC boats are controlled remotely through radio transmitters, similar to other remote-controlled vehicles. The transmitter allows the operator to steer the boat, control its speed, and sometimes operate other functions, such as moving sails or accessories on sailboats.
Power Sources: Depending on the type of boat, power sources can vary. Some RC boats are electric, powered by rechargeable batteries, while others may use gas or nitro engines for increased speed and power.
Scale Models: Many RC model boat kits are designed as scale models of real-life boats, recreating the details and appearance of full-sized vessels. This adds to the authenticity and appeal of these models.
Racing and Performance: Some RC model boat enthusiasts engage in racing events, where they compete with others using their custom-built boats. These races can be thrilling and highly competitive.
Maintenance: Like any remote-controlled vehicle, RC model boats require regular maintenance, including cleaning, checking and replacing components, and ensuring the radio control equipment is in good working order.
Community and Clubs: There are dedicated RC model boat clubs and communities where enthusiasts can connect, share experiences, and participate in events or races.
Safety and Regulations: Operators of RC model boats should be aware of safety guidelines and local regulations related to their use, including areas where it is safe and legal to operate them.
RC model boat kits offer a unique and hands-on way to enjoy the water and indulge in the excitement of remote control. Whether for leisurely cruising, competitive racing, or the satisfaction of building a functional model, these kits provide hours of enjoyment for hobbyists of all ages.

User questions & answers
Question: | what glue to use glueing styrene to brass model |
Answer: | No, it will not. These are NiMh batteries. You need the LiPo ones. These batteries will die extremely fast and you'll only get to clean a quarter of what you'd normally be able to. The 980 also does not sound right, the pitch is lower and I assume it is because these do not have the same power output. |
Question: | Does the wasp have a display frame that will allow to rest on a shelf |
Answer: | Sure, it can work on roomba 564, actually, our battery can work on 5,6,7,8 series model, all the listed model is just for representative. |
Question: | Engine not starting after installing fully charged battery, where is the on and off button for the ship's engine |
Answer: | Just type your model and series number into amazon search...batteries will come up. Under specs look for your vaccuum. |
Question: | Can this be used in salt water |
Answer: | Horrible advice “Rado”... you cant just magically create more amp hours “like a car battery”... that requires changing chemistry (which these have not) or adding more cells (which these have not). You can only fit so many cells in the finite space in the battery compartment. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this compatible with the flysky fs-ia10b receiver |
Answer: | Yes it is flysky it what I use |
Question: | do these really rotate 180 degrees? I see other brands of the MG 966R but some only go 60 degrees in each direction confused y some rotate more |
Answer: | This one could only rotate 120 degrees and the other one(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HNTKSZT/ref=twister_B07C7477HL?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) could rotate 270 degrees. |
Question: | I'm assuming the brown cable is negative and the yellow one is control. I'm I right |
Answer: | Brown is ground yellow is signal |
Question: | Can someone please link a datasheet? these do not conform to sg90 or mg996r specifications in anyway so i'd like to see what i'm working with |
Answer: | The ones in the photo are not the ones that were shown as SG90 when I purchased mine. The Miuzei SG90s I purchased were identical to others of other brands. Same size, single mounting hole, etc. These appear to be standard size servos, and the price backs up that assessment. I’ve never paid more than $2/ea for SG90s... |

User questions & answers
Question: | after charging batteries over night the power light comes on but no power to the motors help |
Answer: | Two - Three hours of charging will do the job in the future. There are two things that may be effecting your lack of power to the motors. First, the button on the bow needs to be pushed. You should see a light in the wheel house. Then, the boat has a sensor to detect water around the boat and it will need to be IN THE WATER for the motors to operate. |
Question: | Can you put say. a schleich horse on the top of the boat? thank you |
Answer: | Yes, but make sure the horse can float. If sinks, you would be committing schleigh-horsecide. |
Question: | Mine works well so far, but didn't come with instructions. How long do the batteries take to charge? Thanks |
Answer: | Adapter supplies 250ma. so 700MAH batteries should take about 3 hours to charge, after the initial charge of about 5hrs. |
Question: | i bought this boat for my son, how do you turn the boat on? Remote light is on but boat don't go? Is there an on and off button |
Answer: | There is a button located on the boat itself. I think it is located near or around the little mast. I bought this last year for my grandson. He loves it! But more information can be found here http://techexperience.net/go/rc/ |

Warm Tips:
Ensure the top cover tamp down tightly before the boat is running: fasten the top cover forwards and hear "dong",then button up it backwards, which indicates it is locked well.
Put in the water firstly then turn on the controller when playing, the screw propeller won't turn if it was on the land. Please note the boat ONLY WORKS IN THE WATER.
When the battery is charging, if the battery is full charged, the light will turn red.
Open the top cover and take the battery out after playing to ensure the inner surface of boat is dry, otherwise it will shorten the lifetime of the boat.
Due to prolonged transportation, the battery may have not much power to play, we'd suggest you that charge the battery fully first before the first time playing.
Please take the batteries out when you don't need play it, which could protect the battery from leaking. Product Specifications:

User questions & answers
Question: | How long does it take to play |
Answer: | It does not flip, it is sufficiently fast and stable. But it does not go in reverse although there is a control switch for reverse. The reason is its bad rear hull design where the water from the reversed prop hits the flat hull. That and slightly leaky cover are the two negatives |
Question: | When will it show no electricity |
Answer: | Detailed Control Distance: 150m. Charging time: 40~50mins .Playing Time: 7~8mins.Remote Control: 2.4GHz Wireless Remote Control Channel: 4-Channels. I hope this information is useful to you. |
Question: | Can it be used in saltwater |
Answer: | About 8-10 min |
Question: | Is speed variable |
Answer: | I wasn't able to find one. I tried Batteries Plus, several hobby shops and on line but all to no avail. I was able to find the same kind of battery but not with the correct connector. The connector seems to be unique to this unit. You may be able to order one from the manufacturer in China? |
