So you are looking at Radio Controlled boats as a hobby? Here is a look at some of the things you should know beforehand when researching. The types of RC boats that are available to you vary greatly including the electric RC boat, nitro RC boat and Gas RC boats. For those that enjoy working with their hands consideration should be given to RC boat kits. You take the time putting it together, and when you’re done it’s ready to go. In addition to the go fast ready to run boats there are also radio control sailboats, scale model boats and even rc submarines.. Many scale model boats come in kit form and are almost as much fun as their full size counterparts.
Before you go out and just buy the first RC boat you see, it is important to shop around. RC boats can be expensive but there are lots of models of electric radio controlled boats that start at less than $100. Beginners should check out the lower priced boats first so that if there is a disaster they do not loose a huge investment. Starting with a lower priced boat can be a good idea so that while you are honing your RC boat skills a small accident does not add up to a big deal.
You should spend some time and research and read about RC boat. This can really improve your knowledge, and make you more informed before going in to purchase. If you are shopping at a brick and mortar store, ask lots of question and if shopping on line send emails to get answers. You will find many on line outlets for RC boats and each will usually display all the specifications for each boat. Keep track of all your questions and when you go to your local hobby strore get any unanswered question answered as well as any specifics about a particular RC boat that is of interest. I will not make any specific recommendations for any one brand of radio controlled boat as each enthusiast has their own favorites. Only you can decide what you like the most.
Before you rush out and put your new boat in the water take a moment. Whenever you going out RC boat racing, have a checklist. Even real ship or plane captains have pre-flight check lists that they go over to ensure they have a safe trip, and remote controlled boats are no exception.
It is especially important with RC boats, since you will often have a heck of time retrieving it if something happens. Before us always make sure that the controls are work right, there is enough fuel or the batteries are fully charged and that the sails, rigging or steering are fully functional.
Even after all of that, test run it near the shore first, so you can make any adjustments necessary before going out on open water. This additional precaution will often save you from having to retrieve your RC boat or possibly end up loosing entirely.
Whichever model or type of RC boat you choose, if you follow these basics, not only will you get the most out of your money, but your radio controlled boating experience will be more pleasant. Doing regular maintenance, following the owner’s manual, as well as whatever else is needed to make your boat run smoothly will ensure that you will have to best experience possible.

Once you get the VS1 setup to your liking, expect fast running down the straights and no bad tendencies when turning. I’ve got mine to where I can usually turn sharp running wide open but I like to blip the throttle before I enter the turn to get the nose down and avoid flipping. The pictures below show a good ride attitude with the nose lifted down the straights. Also, watch the video and you can see when the VS1 is turning well and when too much deflection was given at high speed, causing the hull to trip a little in the turn.
Running a tunnel, in my opinion, is more gratifying than running any other type of boat. It requires more attention while driving, its more sensitive to a proper setup than most hulls, and just looks so much cooler flying past you with only the tips of the sponsons touching the water.
