Fun on the Water: the RC Boats Australia Can’t Get Enough Of

Australia is an outdoorsy country. It is the envy of many countries around the world, not just for the huge areas of open land but for the water, from our legendary surfing beaches to the rivers and lakes. Maybe that is why having a remote-control boat is such a popular pastime. RC boats can give you the fresh feeling of being out by the water with the sun on your back and the wind in your hair.

If you’re looking for an RC boat for sale, you are in the right place, because in addition to our vast range of RC cars in Australia and other road (and off-road) vehicles, we have a selection of RC boats including high-performance brushless ones.

From the exceptional value-for-money WL RC brushless F1 racing boat to the futuristic TFL sprint F3 fibreglass tunnel hull brushless racing boat which wouldn’t look out of place in a James Bond film, we have some very exciting models at RC High Performance.

Choosing the Right RC Boat for You

If you are an RC boat enthusiast already, all you need to do is browse and pick the one you fancy. If you’re buying for someone else, perhaps as a parent looking for a brilliant present for a youngster, you may want a little advice and guidance, in which case you can call us or fill in the online form and we’ll help you in any way we can.

Things to Remember When Choosing a Location for RC Boats in Australia

Finding the right RC hobby store is sometimes not as straightforward as you might think. The established RC boat fan knows this already, but for the benefit of the uninitiated, here are some basics.

Fresh water is better than salt water for a variety of reasons. For a start, what you want is a nice smooth surface with no waves to swamp your boat. You are much more likely to find that on a lake or a pond than on the sea.

In addition, saltwater clogs and corrodes machinery, and you don’t want that when you’re dealing with small moving parts. If you do use your RC boat on salt water, make sure you flush it out well with fresh water afterwards and generally give it a good wash.

Oddly enough, maintenance of RC planes, cars and RC boats can plant a good seed in a young person’s mind. If they want their prized RC vehicle to keep working well and providing the fun they are expecting, it will need to be looked after. But thankfully you can find all RC boat parts right here on our website.

Safety is a crucial consideration. You need somewhere stable to work from while the boat is out on the water, and unfortunately, there will be occasions when a rescue mission is required because the boat goes out of range or runs into trouble. In such cases, you will need to know how deep the water is, and if there is a solid base rather than just mud, that’s going to be a lot better.

Don’t forget to check if you need permission to use your boat in a certain location.
