Whether you crave action or relaxation, you'll enjoy radio-controlled boating. There's nothing quite as soothing as gliding your scale R/C sailboat across a pond, or for full-throttle excitement, you can race a nitro- or electric-powered deep vee or hydro! Many of Tower Hobbies' most popular model boats already come pre-built. To start making waves, just add water!

AquaCraft Mini Rio RTR
You don’t need a thunderboat and a big body of water to enjoy offshore racing action — just a pond and the extra-affordable Mini Rio! It’s just 16” of superboat styling and ABS strength that arrives ready to run and ready to make waves. A water-cooled 380 motor, ESC, 1100mAh NiMH battery and 12V peak charger provide the power and speed. A 2-channel FM radio provides pinpoint control. Add “AA” batteries, and you have it all.

AquaCraft Mini Thunder Hydroplane RTR
With its compact size, the Mini Thunder proves you don’t need a large body of water to deliver thrilling performance! It’s ready for action right now, so beginners can enjoy the excitement of racing a thunder boat. Includes virtually everything you need to race right out of the box: a water-cooled 380 motor, a waterproof ESC, a 2-channel pistol-grip radio with 1 mini servo and waterproof receiver, an 1100mAh NiMH battery and charger.

AquaCraft Rio 2.4GHz RTR
Get tons of Superboat looks and style in a trim, 2-foot package! Like other Rios, it arrives with a finished ABS hull, factory-equipped with a 550 motor, 25A ESC and a Tactic™ 2.4GHz radio system. Size makes it perfect for ponds and pools, but its weight and power make it good for large ponds, too. With its surface-drive system, dual-wedge rudder and aluminum trim plates, you can enjoy fine-tuned performance under almost any conditions.
Tower Hobbies Power Vee EP RTR
The Power Vee is ready for rip-roarin’ racing action, with a 2-channel radio that features adjustable steering rate and fine trim controls. Its powerful 550-size motor is water jacket-equipped to help it run cool, while on-board electronics stay high and dry inside an easy-access compartment. You also get a 30A ESC, a rudder-steering servo, drag-reducing chine rails – even an assembled display stand! Requires 6-7 cell NiCd/NiMH battery, charger and 8 “AA” batteries.
Traxxas Blast RTR 24" Boat w/Radio
The new Traxxas Blast™ is engineered to be fast, reliable, and easy to drive. The installed water cooling system for the motor helps keeps the Blast cool for longer run times and all day fun. With the waterproof, fully proportional Nautica electronic speed control, waterproof high-torque servo, and the patent-pending watertight receiver box, the lakeside fun doesn't end early because of wet radio gear.
