AquaCraft Atlantic harbor tug
« on: August 09, 2022, 11:02:09 pm »

I am trying to help a young gentleman with his first r/c boat. He acquired an Aquacraft Atlantic harbor tug and is generally happy with it. However, the reverse function is very limited. I have looked things over and the best that I can guess is that the ESC limits his reverse speed. I can not find a manual on the Aquacraft 30amp ESC. Does anyone have first hand knowledge as to whether or not this ESC, from the factory, is designed with, I would guess, 50% LESS throttle range than forward speed?Lastly, is there anyway to reprogram this speed limitation? :(( Many ThanksJonathan

As far as I know, the answer is yes, it's programmed that way and no, it isn't possible to reprogram it.

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

Many have replaced the radio and speed controllers with 'hobby' grade gear, as opposed to the fitted 'toy' grade stuff ....

Yes Martin, I agree, but there is a funds availability issue at the moment. I think a new radio and especially a new ESC will make a world of difference.ThanksJonathan
