Cool RC Water Toys

XPV Super Terranator

I like the other XPV toys so I might have to get me one of these as well. This a RC that can be played with all seasons from snow to summertime fun at the pool. The manufacturer calls it five mean vehicles combined into one. With an awesome green and black graphic color scheme, 2 engines, a water skimming hull, and menacing looking huge rubber monster tires, it tackles all kinds of tough terrain.

Aquad Amphibious ATV

Looking to put an affordable all-terrain RC under the tree this holiday season? The Aquad Amphibious ATV from RadioShack may be what you need to put a smile on some faces. With its all wheel drive system this little ATV tackles the waves and the toughest of terrain. There's a 6-volt battery pack, 9-volt for the controller, and a 6-volt charger (sold seperately).

Tyco Terrainiac

From what I see in the video clips the Tyco Terrainiac isn't one for speed but it's still cool. The huge wheel in the back not only serves as a way for the vehicle to move forward and backwards -- on land and in the water -- it also is used to steer the oddly shaped beast as well. Comes ready to run -- in several colors -- with everything you need including batteries and a charger. Watch it in action:

RC Floating Water Cannon

You might have missed it this summer but get ready for next year by picking up this radio controlled cannon that floats in the pool and shoots a stream of water up to 20 feet away. Unsuspecting poolside patrons won't know what hit 'em! You can operate from outside or inside the pool with its waterproof controller. Now this would be an RC water toy I would enjoy having. Imagine this... your mom, sister, or in my case my wife are sitting by the pool. Of course sneaking up to give them a little splash is fairly obvious. But with this cannon you don't have to get nearly as close. More of the surprise factor for them. More escape time for you.

Nikko Flip & Dive

I haven't seen this toy on the shelves or described on very many sites but I do think it is kind of interesting. Looks like it would be a great RC for the pool. It skims across the water like a boat but then when you touch a button on the controller it dives under water like a sub -- only faster than most RC submarines. Watch the Nikko Flip & Dive commercial.
