Do you turn the transmitter on first then the receiver?

Steve, first thing to check is the trim on the throttle side. Ideally it should be central. Also, you should switch the transmitter on before the boat.


What type of esc are you using in your model?

Edit : sorry Bob, didn't see your reply at first...

Could be that the transmitter has a failsafe mode for gas engines and it's engaged.  I had this happen to me with my Tx whenever i hit the Disarm switch on the side without realizing.

I'm interested in tiny versions of regular size things.

Steve, Just to clarify - what type/make of transmitter are you using and the other electronics in your boat.
