RM are blaming the warped boats on the amount of time they spent in the containers due to the heat

GPS is already in it, it's hardwired and can do everything that you can do via the app just from the handset. The only things you can't do from the handset it use the measuring thingy that's on the app and you can save multiple spots that are recallable via the app or send it it to random spots that you can autopilot to. If you think 'oh, that looks saucey over there', just hold your finger on the app and send it lik you would on an RT4 and it trots off on its own, if you don't like the look of where it's gone, delete the created spot and send it somewhere else, can't do that on the remote.

It's £549 (call it £550) not £500 👍

It might be hardwired in the boat but you still need to pay £199 (call it £200) to use it

You've got that totally wrong mate. You turn on the handset then the boat and it searches for a GPS signal, no app needed 👍

A wise man once said...."Never buy the first released model of anything!"

Wait until the initial teething problems and quality issues have been sorted out first!

No, I think he's confusing GPS with the app. As I've explained, you don't need the app (pay £200) to be able to use the GPS function 😉

Even though it's got a small payload - depends what your needs are - that Actor boat is a good deal 👍

I'm struggling to get used to the joystick. The actor one so much better. Slightest movement and the Hunter boat goes all over the place.

Tbh I'm not happy with mine. Will I be able to get a refund even though I have used it a couple times. ?

If it is not fit for purpose or seems faulty, then yes you could get a refund. Best bet is to speak to the retailer you purchased from

I've messaged him. I've had it a couple times when the hopper hasn't opened. And the remote is awful.

This is a typical case of people buying because of the brand not the product. Ridgemonkey mugs are everywhere these days
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
