Our high-quality upgrade and conversion kits help you take your RC model ship to the next level. Whether you're enhancing functionality, updating appearance, or modernizing electronics – you'll find the right components here for your custom RC project.
What are upgrade and conversion kits?
These kits include pre-selected components designed to improve or modify existing models. From LED lighting and sound systems to functional equipment and deck structures – these kits let you transform a standard ship into a personalized functional model with detail and character.
Typical applications in model shipbuilding
- Installing lighting effects (navigation lights, working lights, searchlights)
- Adding realistic sound modules for engine or horn effects
- Mechanical upgrades like cranes, ramps, winches, or doors
- Visual detailing such as deckhouses, railings, or bulwarks
More advanced conversions – such as twin-propeller retrofits or adding bow thrusters – are also possible using dedicated upgrade sets.
Advantages of using upgrade kits
The key benefit: you receive all necessary components bundled in one package – often with instructions included. This saves research time, helps avoid mistakes, and simplifies the planning process. Many kits are modular and compatible with standard RC systems.
What to consider before converting
Depending on the complexity, basic skills in electronics and craftsmanship may be required. Always check compatibility with your current model and plan ahead. When in doubt, consult with an expert or connect with the RC model shipbuilding community online.
