I have the normal actor and it is brilliant. The hopper is just too small. The joystick remote is much better than the ridgemonkey one. I had the new bigger actor on pre order but canceled it because it wouldn't be with me in time for france. When I get the ridgemonkey boat money back I will get the new actor.

Eh? I'm not angry, I'm laughing my ass off chap. What product ls have ridgemonkey bought out that are good that they actually developed themselves then? And not just ripped off or adapted someone else's idea? And where did I cause matey of being a fanboy in particular? I was generalising.quite obvious ,no? And where were the facts you speak of? I don't think anyone would openly admit to being a fanboy of a particular maker but there are many, many in here.

Just read your own posts back to yourself. I'm not going to argue with you anymore, it's pointless.

Im going to france in a few weeks with a mate who is a full on RM fan boy
Ive had a raymarine and speed kit fitted to my nd2 and he had his RM boat delivered on monday so we thought we'd give them both a run-out. Despite almost being set on fire by both his RM stoves and his RM powepack as well as several issues with floating fluro, hooks etc. he continues to go on about how RM are brilliant.
Out his little boat goes. My first observation is that the handle will definitely snap off. The second issue was a hopper that point-blank refused to open, plus the boat seems completely uncontrollable and the battery only lasted about 25 minutes before this silly little boat decided to give up about 60 yds out
He finally admitted that he should've known better. I'll sell him my mk1 procat for 50 quid. A much much better boat
Lesson learnt (finally) and quid well spent
Its a shame really because i really like dave levy and i think it will get to the point where RMs rubbish starts to affect his reputation. Ive noticed that James Armstrong is back to plugging korda products on Instagram?

That sounds pretty damning...
James Armstrong left RM about a month ago, all a bit quietly and under the radar...!

25mins you say? Sounds like a sure fire winner
To be fair, I've got a few RM bits like the large charger, headtourch and light which are all good for my needs, the boat on the other hand, well, that looked pony from the get-go. As has been pointed out, you can get a load more for very similar money, must be the brand that does it for some.
