big waves

[tchinghar]

Hi,
Im new to rc boats (been into rc trucks for ages) and im trying to figure out what to get for my first boat. i live in australia, next to the sea and want a boat that i can use in salt water, and something that can handle waves up to about 3-4 feet. my idea is some kind of deep vee that i will be able to jump over swells with (monster truck style :D :D ) i recon out boards look cool, any with outboards?. price and size dont matter too much.
Any ideas?
cheers
Haydn

those are some BIG waves as far as r/c is concerned. in fact, they are insanly big. here's what i would do, idea #1: buy a full size boat and a set of walky talkies. put a friend into the boat. talk to him on the radio and tell him which way to go. you could call that remote control, right? idea #2: buy the biggest, baddest most outrageously powered r/c hull you can get and try it out. i know there are some 7 footer's out there. you can get some huge motors into 'em. but 2-3 foot waves might still be a challenge.

Do a search for MHZ USA. They make some HUGE BOATS ! I've seen one powered by a Rotax engine in person last year.

Here's the German link, but there's an American importer so the site might be easier to navigate.
