      Thats to bad,,but if those are Venom batteries,,thats your problem,,you need better batteries. Spend your money on anything but Venoms.

                  Its go time :D ,Never used their LiPos, but their NiMh are garbage,,,personal experience 2 years ago trying to save some money,,,wasted more than I saved. I'm sure those are NiMh packs that went boom here.

                      They might be dead cuz the boat aint working right....The rudder moves but the engine does not....Maybe a bad receiver though I dont know yet...

                          If the batteries were hot and you got 15 minutes out of them ,,,its the batteries. If you were running a reasonably stock set up, a good set of NiHh's would be able to handle the load.

                              Motor requires more voltage to turn than the servo. If you're getting no motor action with those burned venom's, then try a diff set of packs.

                                  I do have to say that I used the remaining Venoms and made some pretty decent receiver packs out of them .

                                          This sucks, my wife just paid more than $150 for these batteries less than 3 weeks ago! Anyone know about their warranty policy?....

                                              Sounds like she had the best intentions,,,not sure of a warrenty policy, check their web page.

                                                  The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

                                                      Dude I am tellin ya. Venom NIHM batteries are horrible. Probably ok in a rc car or truck but DONT hold up in a boat. Sorry man just get some good cells and you WILL be happy.
