RC Hovercraft Fun

A land sea RC hovercraft is very different from all other radio control vehicles and just may offer the most fun of all, especially if you love playing in terrain thats natural.

The hovercraft is sometimes called an air cushion vehicle, or ACV. It flies like a plane, floats like a boat, and can drive on land just like a car. It can navigate small gullies, traverse ditches, and glide over flat terrain. The RC hovercraft is a very unique mode of transportation and it can provide you with hours of entertainment. No straight roads here and no getting stuck in the mud. Instead, you can set your own path and navigate the most rugged terrain.

Actual hovercrafts are used for many different applications where equipment and people need to travel at some speed over both water and land. The hovercraft engine is the source of power for the large fans that blow air underneath it. Your RC hovercraft uses exactly the same principle except on a much smaller scale, but it allows you to take your unit into the same type of terrain the real hovercrafts head into.

There are all kinds of RC vehicles the cars do well on pavement; the trucks in off road; the boats on water; the hovercraft on land and sea. So if you cant choose then why not go with the land sea RC hovercraft?

There are different types of models to buy. If you look at the cheaper readily available toy class, you get a fairly durable product but it wont be very fast, and it likely wont have replacement parts available. With this type of RC unit where youll be in a bit of a mixed terrain not having parts available can be a real drag, because if you break something youre finished. They are however, a good place to start, especially with your children.

On the other hand, if you choose a land sea RC hovercraft from the hobby class youll pay more but youll get a quality unit thats very fast. It can be upgraded and replacement parts are readily available. You should have a little bit of mechanical know how so that you can tune your engine and do repairs.

There is a great selection of choices for RC hovercraft models too. Whether you like the military air cushion assault vehicle, or you prefer one of the interesting futuristic hovercrafts, the key is that you have plenty of options. If this is your first time with in radio control or maybe the first time to try a land sea RC, for under $200 you can have a decent unit that will let you decide if this really is the baby for you.
