RC Boats Index Page

This section of RC Hobby Universe focuses on all different types of RC Boats. These include:

Each page contains an overview and some examples of the more popular models ranging from Beginner to Expert. Radio controlled boats work almost exclusively with 2 Channel Radio systems: Channel 1 controls the throttle and Channel 2 controls the rudder. For sailboats, Channel 1 controls the servo linkage for the main sail and jib trim and Channel 2 controls the rudder. Here is what a 2 channel Transmitter from Futaba looks like:

Having been raised racing sailboats on the Long Island Sound, I have a natural affinity for boating.

Although my all time favorite now is my Enforcer Super-G gasoline powered fiberglass monohull, "Proton 2 Extreme", seen floating below in my swimming pool (no, I don't run it in the pool!).

This powerhouse can go over 40 mph in real speed and one tank of gasoline can last for over 45 minutes!

This was custom built by Tony Castronova at Warehouse Hobbies. You can see more of Tony's boats by clicking on the Gasoline Powered link on this page.
