Electric-Powered Boats
 Tower Hobbies Turbo Vee 3 RTR
With the 20.5” long Turbo Vee 3, you won’t waste a minute of prime-time boating fun! Everything you need is here — a water-cooled 540 motor, ESC with reverse, direct drive system, 2-channel radio gear and a prop — and they’re all factory-installed. The ABS hull and deck are prejoined, so there’s no finishing required. “Chine rails” reduce drag for higher speeds, and the trim tabs adjust to fine-tune handling. Requires 6- or 7-cell battery w/charger and 8 “AA” batteries.
AquaCraft Hammer RTR
There’s a right tool for every job — and when the job is diving straight into offshore action, the only tool you need is the Hammer RTR. No assembly or finishing is needed, and on-board electronics come already installed. It's an easy way to break into R/C boating...and a rush for experienced skippers, too!
AquaCraft SuperVee 27 Nitro RTR
If you’re a nitro boat enthusiast who admires the SuperVee 27 brushless RTR, now you can have that same streamlined design — with nitro power and performance! And because it’s easy to operate and comes completely assembled, even beginners can look forward to exciting off-shore racing action just minutes after taking the SuperVee 27 Nitro out of the box!
Nitro Start-Powered Boats
 AquaCraft Nitro Hammer RTR
Strike hard, strike fast, with ready-to-run ease and tuned-pipe power! The Nitro Hammer is factory-built of first-class materials, including a fuelproof fiberglass hull (factory-finished in one of six custom colors) and stainless steel hardware. On-board gear for the included AquaCraft 2-channel pistol radio is installed, and the recoil-started AquaCraft Marine .15 ABC engine (also installed!) comes with a power-boosting tuned pipe! A flip-top fuel tank with primer button makes sure you won't waste fuel — a free start-up video makes sure you won't waste a minute of the Nitro Hammer's performance. Just 24" long, the Nitro Hammer requires only 20% glow fuel, a glow starter and 12 "AA" batteries.
 AquaCraft Air Force Airboat RTR
Rule the waves with the Air Force. It arrives virtually assembled, so it can be action-ready in minutes. Its gel-coated, prejoined fiberglass hull and deck offer added durability and resistance to the damaging effects of fuel. And it's equipped with an AquaCraft Pro .46 engine and a Futaba-made AquaCraft 2-channel radio for premier performance and absolute control. Just 36”, the Air Force requires glow fuel, 12 “AA” batteries and support equipment.
 AquaCraft U-18 Miss Vegas Plus Hydroplane RTR
It's the hottest and most exciting hydro to hit R/C in a long time! Miss Vegas has it all: a design by a racing legend; an overpowering .18 marine for performance, a 2-channel radio for control and a hull that needs only decals to be all dressed-up and ready to go dancing over the waves!
