Vintage Hydroplane Boats For 2010.this is a brand new class of hydros in the building/planning stages. These are scale boats, built in vintage shovel nose style.
Apart from sailboats, which are wind-powered, most RC boats run on either batteries, nitro, or gas. But what's the difference, and which power option should you choose?
Battery pros:
RC boats that run on batteries are easy to operate and maintain.
With batteries, there's no need to keep spare fuel and refill a fuel tank, which can be inconvenient and messy.
Battery-powered RC boats are very quiet.
You can use battery-powered RC boats indoors as well as outdoors.
Battery cons:
Battery-powered RC boats can't run for long periods of time before you have to recharge.
Most people who use battery-powered RC boats choose to carry extra batteries with them, which can be expensive to purchase.
Nitro pros:
RC boats powered by nitro are extremely quick and responsive.
It's easier to fine-tune the performance of RC boats that run on nitro.
As long as you have more fuel, you can run your nitro-powered RC boat for as long as you like.
Nitro-powered RC boats are faster than comparable gas and battery-powered models.

Nitro cons:
RC boats that run on nitro are probably the hardest to maintain.
Due to fumes, you can't run nitro-powered RC boats indoors.
Nitro fuel is fairly expensive to purchase.
Nitro-powered RC boats are fairly noisy.
Gas pros:
If you like scale boats, you might be interestested to know that gas-powered RC boats are often available in slightly larger scales than other models.
Gas is a relatively inexpensive fuel to buy.
RC boats powered by gas are generally easier to maintain than nitro-powered vehicles.
Gas cons:
Gas-powered RC boats tend to be slower than comparable nitro and battery-powered options.
RC boats powered by gas can be expensive to purchase.
You can only use gas-powered RC boats outdoors.
