Resolved charger issue
As promised, a 5 star update for the charger resolution. Thanks RCG. Great, sturdy, proud boat. Now charges fully & runs for just under 9 mins but could probably have 40 seconds more, I daren't risk it however.
This summer get ready to hit the water with the new Vortex fast electric r/c boat from FTX. With a range of up to 100m the Vortex is perfect for pools, ponds and even lakes. Featuring an attractive moulded hull with printed graphics, at 44cm long the Vortex is the ideal size for first time r/c boat enthusiasts.
A specially designed lower hull provides all important water cooling for the 380-sized motor, whilst should you capsize your boat a one-key roll function gets you back upright in seconds. Rear twin tabs help aide stability resulting in smooth turns as you drive back through your wake.
With an alarm sounding when the boats or transmitter batteries run low you should also avert being caught without power away from the shore-line!
A great all round package if every there was one for any power boat fan!

This boat in & of itself is brilliant, it travels at a good speed for the price, handles very well depending on your turn styles, the rudder will bend water in an instant & have the boat driving in any direction as quick as you want, it has a hassle free nature with a maintenance free prop shaft & it's been well waterproofed. It looks brilliant too. However,, my model has a bit of a dodgy charger &/or battery. It doesn't state charge time in instructions so you're a bit in the dark & hoping your charge light goes out in 4 hours max. This isn't RC Geeks fault & the matter is being looked into. If a replacement battery, charger is supplied I will return to give this Vortex a 5 star review! It's brilliant when it gets charged fully.
