RC Car Info

Like any RC vehicle, RC boats need care after each run to stay in top shape and deliver high-performance action every time – perhaps even more so! Water, debris and mud can have harsh effects on boats, and they will suffer from idling problems, rust, corrosion, water leakage and more if you don’t properly care for them. One of the best steps you can take to prevent corrosion and damage to your engine is to run oil in it every time you’re finished with your boat for the day. This will prevent rusting in the delicate internal components – remember, it’s much easier to prevent damage that to repair it!

Also, make sure you always use fresh fuel in your RC boats. If you’re just breaking out your boats in the spring after they’ve been stored away for several months, it can be tempting to use fuel you have leftover from the last time you ran them. However, the oils and lubricants in fuel can break down over time, which leaves your engine less protected. Before you transport or store your boats, always run them completely out of fuel. Otherwise, the fuel can evaporate, which leaves a layer of crud inside the fuel tank and the engine. Finally, make sure you respect the lakes, ponds and streams you run your boats on. Never refuel your boats while they are still in the water, as you can cause harmful fuel spills, and never run them at high speeds near swimmers or waterfowl.
