I have owned rc cars both nitro and electric, I generally liked electric better. So I know I want electric, but as far as what boat I have no clue. I have looked at them but I dont know what I will really need. I will be using it in a lake. There are really no waves because it is in between two barriers of land. My budget is about 125$. I really don't want any high performance machine. I just want something that I can take out and drive without having to maintain it very much. I do want something that is durable though, and that will go. I would really like rtr but a kit would work if it is cheaper/better. I will need a charger and batt. to. Thanks in advance.
