going to reinstate this thread as its causing me a headache
further investigation ... set up is 2 6v batteries
really not sure what the esc is as its unbranded but from ebay ad for the boat its 30 amp... it did come with a spare esc
took out the esc to have a better look and as you can see wired differently..... when switched on the rudder twitches and then goes to full throttle..... I became a member of wicksteed park boat club recently so might bring it along and ask some kindly members to have a look for me
also would like to find about motor cooling system ? as far as I can see water is sucked in from underneath goes through tubes over motor and out side vent ? would like to learn how that works
its a nice boat but i have never ran it yet but would love to get it going
could take more pics if any interest
so pics to show the esc and my problem... for one, no on/off switch lead ?
original one is red one
would firstly like to know is this a suitable replacement ( realise its a cheap esc but it came with boat and is brand new )
secondly the cooling system
how does this work ... how does it manage to suck in the water etc
inlet ? it has a cut out on front section to scoop in water ( I think)
the two 6v batteries linked
the cooling system ? with three metal tubes I take it soldered on top ?
a lot of questions I know but I am learning and hope it may help others as well
cheers for now
