I've kinda been looking at RC boats for lake use. I've been a Traxxas guy for a while and then got into some axial crawlers. I see they still make the Traxxas blast and have been eyeing that one.
A 5 year old would occasionally be controlling it so Im not after anything crazy fast or complicated for me for repairs (ha). I'd prefer something at least hobby grade and not a 20-30 dollar Walmart special. I'm pretty sure I've seen it listed new for around 150. It would be cool if I could still use some 2S 2200 mah batteries I've already got for my planes. I've searched a little bit but keep coming back to that one. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks. |

This is a nice little RTR boat for the $$$ but it requires 4000mAh 2S batteries for best performance.

I have a proboats Vietnam PBR about 1/18 scale and maybe 16” long. I think that is a horizon hobbies brand. Might not be available in stores anymore. Needs some crew figures. Proboats has lots of other models.
They have a 1/25 scale Swift boat now. I want that one Motion RC also imports boats. |

"5 year old would occasionally be controlling it"
Something like a tugboat is a great way to start and a lot of fun. https://vac-u-boat.com/Vacutug https://zippkits.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=498 |
