It will charge 2S-3S LiPo, and 5-8 cell NiMH battery packs. The EZ-Peak Plus 4-Amp charger works with the Traxxas iD style battery plugs, as well as the Traxxas high-current wooden boat plug. This tube holds the grease you need to keep your RC boat running. At the next boat race, your boat will navigate the choppy waters and beat the other contenders.
And we have plastic model kits, railroad modeling supplies, and just about any other hobby items you can think of. But Fundemonium really is much, much more than just a toy, hobby, and game store. We looked briefly at the history of land speed records in an earlier article. But people have pursued speed records on the surface of water, as well, for a long time now. Until the invention of steam power and the implementation of steam engines in the 18th century, however, speed on water was greatly limited. With up to 12-amps of output and the ability to operate the charger via Bluetooth from your iOS or Android device, this is the most powerful, most advanced charger ever from Traxxas!
This page looks at the fastest RC boats available for enthusiasts. There are a few insane gas-powered RC speed boats that can exceed 100mph, but that’s nothing for this guide. The gas super league is something you might gravitate toward if you get the bug. Charge times are about average, with a playing time of 10 minutes and an average 2 hour charge time. Propellers also do not spin without water detection, saving on battery life and adding safety.
Depending on where you plan to use your boat, the dimensions are an important consideration. While you can likely get away with using a larger boat on a pond or lake, you may want to stick to a smaller model if you’ll be floating yours in a backyard swimming pool. Scale model tug boats are often built to include scale drive systems. They use standard propellers and rudder, Becker rudders, Kort nozzles, steerable kort nozzles, Z-drives or Voith-Schneider cycloidial drives.
If you choose to go this route, make sure to get a battery that is compatible with your boat’s model so you don’t damage any of the boat’s electronics. Capacity determines the length of time your wooden boat battery will run with each charge. On the other hand, voltage determines the speed and power the battery will deliver. Know the types of batteries used in RC boats and how long they last.
The triple covers do an excellent job of sealing the cabin from the water. The range is far enough to keep the vessel in your line of sight . You wouldn’t want it any further with the short battery life .
