Our description

The Heng Long harbour tug (model 3810) is the exact opposite of the speedboats in the catalog: a roughly 60 cm scale tug whose displacement hull cruises at a leisurely ~20 km/h, offering above all lifelike, relaxed manoeuvring rather than full throttle. The special part is the functions: at the press of a button the water cannon on the tower sprays real water, tow lines sit on spools fore and aft, the rudder runs via a servo, and a display stand is included. Control is via a 2.4 GHz radio with a proportional ESC. It comes ready to run (RTR) with a Li-Ion battery (7.4 V, 1800 mAh), charger and transmitter. Honestly placed: this is an import/budget scale model – detailed and surprisingly playful for the price, but without the brand service of Pro Boat or Traxxas. Spare parts beyond propellers and standard parts are harder to get, and the build is nice but not high-end. Who is it for? Anyone who does not want to race but to cruise scale-style – a completely different, calm character that, as a slow displacement boat, forgives beginner mistakes well.
