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.

I had problems with my first boat, which died early, but full marks to Wheespin who replaced it. When it ran, it did not leak at all, but that is not true of the replacement that ships more water thank like to see. The instructions say this is normal. Its not a happy boat. It leans well to the right in the water at full speed and as a result turns as well. It needs a horizontal tab on the back to fix this, or maybe a heavier battery. If it fails to bind first time, a not infrequent occurence, you usually have to start again, removing the battery first. It looks to be non user maintainable due to the use of glue or plastic welding, but I may be wrong there. I hope I never have to find out

Brought this boat 2 days ago and finally got to use it well my 5 year old son did , it's a cracking little boat , quit quick considering the price and fun aswell, I thing I noticed is when in full reverse small amounts of water enter the inside, this does not affect the servo etc , so reverse slowly and steady , apart from that it a smart boat

can an additional battery pack be purchased?

Ftx vortex how fast is it on the slow setting .
Asked by Paul on 2nd October 2020

I'd say it's half speed so about 12kph in slow speed option.

Can you recommend a battery upgrade for this and do you know the run time with the current battery?
Asked by Michael on 17th April 2022

I am afraid only the standard battery is available for this model.

Hi, do you have any boats that have more than 10 minutes running time?
Asked by Emma on 7th December 2022

10 minutes is about right for this scale and price , you can buy spare batteries to increase runtime here:

Would this boat be ok for use in shallow sea water
Asked by Dus Puttaert on 10th July 2023

It would work yes, but we do advise not to use boats in the salt water, due to the salt water causing more corosion.
