The Hobby Engine Ricahrdson Tug Boat is a radio control boat in the Hobby Engine RC Boats range operating on 2.4Ghz.

Scaled down to the smallest detail the Richarsdson is a beautiful re-creation of those workhorses of ocean boats, the Tug.

Features of this RC Boat include real rubber scale tyres around the outside, finely detailed cabin area, scale paint scheme and authentic style twin propellers for those high torque pulls. Never before has so much detail been available in a ready-to-run model.

The digital proportional controller gives the captain of this vessel full control of the boat, while built-in shoulder buttons add advanced features such as a horn, search light, red and green signal lights, cabin light, and rear working deck light.

Whats more, the Premium Label really lives up to its name thanks to two roof mounted chimneys that product real smoke, giving you the ultimate scale look.

Even seasoned scale builders would find this model hard to beat.
