Hit the Water with the FMS TFL Explorer Brushless R/C Boat
As I approach my fifteenth year in the R/C hobby, one segment that I have yet to explore is radio-controlled watercraft. Thankfully, I may have found the perfect model to take the plunge with: the TFL Explorer from FMS. This appears to be the first R/C boat from FMS, a brand that's built its reputation on highly detailed aircraft and surface R/C vehicles.
Geared toward hobbyists who want to have fun on the water without sinking their budget, the TFL Explorer looks like an impressive package that blends brushless power with nimble performance and easy-to-use features.
The hull of the TFL Explorer features a sleek design with a sealed electronics compartment that's accessible through a quick-release hatch. CNC-machined hardware provide added durability and a self-righting system helps ensure you'll always be in control, even when things get too crazy.
Speaking of control, FMS has bundled this R/C boat with a 2.4GHz Flysky radio system, 3S LiPo capability, and a 3000kv brushless outrunner motor.
Alongside the launch of this brushless boat, FMS has also released a selection of parts to keep your craft seaworthy.
