Micro RC BoatsElectric Micro RC Boats are so easy to run that they make the perfect choice for first time RC enthusiasts. They come in a variety of different styles and can Beginner Level: The micro electric rc boat is typically a 1:64 scale sized boat which averages about three inches in length and they come in a variety of different styles. These boats are best run in very calm, small areas such as bath tubs, small swimming pools, and small fish ponds. A school favorite (for projects) and Collector's favorite is the NKOK Micro Harbor Tug Boat seen here:
The transmitter runs on a 9 volt battery. The boat contains a built in rechargeable battery that charges from a separate base which uses AA batteries. Charge time averages approximately 5 minutes.
Also considered in the category of Micro RC Boats is the Ocean Explorer-1 micro submarine from Megatech. This really cool tiny replica is small enough to be used in a fish tank and can go as deep as six feet in a swimming pool! "...It comes with three front mounted high-powered exploration lights and red and green sequential flashing running lights. The Ocean Explorer-1 comes completely assembled with rechargeable battery power, and only needs 8AA batteries to power-up the two-channel surface command transmitter.
Should your Megatech Ocean Explorer-1 ever run out of power, experience radio-link interference, fear not…our failsafe system is preset to automatically shut down the engines and blow all ballast sending the Explorer-1 safely on an emergency return trip to the surface..."
