Ordered this boat from the China warehouse and received it 10 days later in California, which is a great improvement in shipping speed for Banggood. I also have an FT009 boat, and the FT011 is significantly larger than the FT009. Its got great presence in the water and seems much more "hobby grade" in appearance with the faux carbon fiber look. Boat is fast and powerful, and the anti-flip technology works well. Range is at least 200 feet, but I haven't taken it further. After my first run, the other criticisms are valid: turning radius is large compared to the FT009, and it has so much power that it tends to launch itself out of the water if you apply full throttle in bumpy waves. These can be mitigated, but if you want a larger boat that's crazy fast in a straight line, this is the boat for you. I don't think you can beat it for $125.
