When your summer plans involve wet "terrain", don't fear that your passion for the hobby will need to be put on hold. There are an array of amazing radio-controlled watercraft for all levels of experience, just ready to hit the water. One of the latest ready-to-run (RTR) options carries a lean and mean look, along with impressive speed.
The Pro Boat UL-19 Brushless Hydroplane is, as its name implies, a brushless-powered watercraft that is capable of attaining speeds close to 50mph. Lightweight construction and a sleek, 30-inch long fiberglass hull assist it in cutting through water and waterproof electronics help to ensure your fun doesn't stop should the boat become a submarine.
The propultion system of the UL-19 feature a mix of aluminum and stainless steel components, including a two-blade prop, aluminum rudder, and turning fin. The drive system utilizes a flex shaft design to channel the power from the 6-pole brushless (2000kv) motor to the propellers.
On the electronics side, this boat includes a Spektrum DX2E radio and the aformentioned waterproof receiver and electronic speed control (ESC). Capping this craft off is an eye-catching blue and yellow paint scheme.
