hi guys,
i was testing my latest build today for the second time, it was going extremely well until about half an hour of running, when it stalled an what looked like steam started to appear. i thought a little bit of water had splashed on the the motor and had started to evaporate (as it is a open toped speed boat) but then i began to realise it wasn't steam because of two factors. one being th steam was now pouring out of the hull fasted and thicker, and the fact there were flames coming out of the top :'(. after getting very wet and taking the boat out of the water, i discovered that it was not the motor, but the speed controller. Does anyone know how this could have happened, i have had the boat on the water once before and had no problems with it. could it just be a technical fault with the speed controller or is something else to blame???
cheers,
Dan
