Don't be too conservative or too aggressive on your first run, try a few seconds at full speed but only in a straight line.Martin
Hi Cb,
The point with fast electrics is that you can't potter around with them too much; the ESC and motor will heat up, as the stock electronics don't have sufficient headroom to cope with the huge amount of switching, running at anything but full throttle, and switching causes heat in the Fets of the ESC.
Keep in mind to run at least 80% of the runtime at full throttle and you'll be fine, heatwise.
The 20% left are for cornering tighly not at full throttle...
When dialed in properly your boats won't tend to backflip easily, but if you're running into the wind, or catch a freak wave, the boats will flip from time to time.
Take a fishing rod with a tennisball on the line with you, very convenient to retreive a flipped boat without having to swim, of get/inflate a rescue boat.
Regards, Jan.
