there are a several RTR tugboat models under 200. RTR radios are usually 27mhz and can't change crystals..to change crystals you may need to buy a used radio and receiver and a set of crystals (often included in the deal)..better buy a bundle like traxxas TQ 27mhz stampede/rustler radio/reciever/crystal and don't pay more than $30 USD for the bundle..good luck

aquacraft bristol bay, atltantic tugboat,  are RTR

these may or may not be RTR,

    ...Hi Guys...

Graupner "SOUTHAMPTON" tug I think is the best RTR boat for this kind of money...

What you have to watch with these boats is that the Radio Gear is of a decent Standard & is not overruled by Normal Radio Gear...

Dickie Workboats are like this...."SOUTHAMPTON is not...It has  proper Radio Gear...

...All The Best...Norry...
