I designed this RC boat with one thing in mind — simplicity.
It’s meant to be a relaxing build — no glue, no crazy parts, no stress.
Just 11 easy-to-print pieces, designed to snap together like LEGO.
And best of all? You only need some basic electronics that any proper tinkerer probably already has in a drawer. 😊
I wanted to make something that even a 10-year-old could put together with just a little help. No overengineering. Just pure fun.
This boat runs on around 16 € worth of electronics – a servo, a small DC motor, ESC, battery and a JST connector.
All of it is cheap and easy to get (mostly from Aliexpress), and I’ve listed every part in the manual.
You’ll also need a basic 2-channel transmitter and receiver (available from 25 €).

No experience? No problem. Everything fits together cleanly, step by step – almost like a toy kit.
To show you just how easy it is, I made a short video of the full assembly and water test:

This boat was designed for makers who want to build something real, functional, and fun – without overcomplicating it. Whether you're 10 or 50, you’ll enjoy building it and watching it cruise.
