    I just read this whole build, very impressive, I'd love to do a scratch build like this one day.

        My brand new packs aren't charging.
        One pack terminated charging cause one cell was at 4.01 while the rest are at 4.15


        Very disappointed

                I may just put it all up for sale and try my hand at a new hobby,
                I got no joy out of being at the lake running it honestly

                  No, you are not...
                  All your boats run great, I know how frustrated you are now, been waiting for the ice to go away, and now this...
                  take a deep breath, it will get better from this point on, man, you are so experienced, and it is a great build, everyone loves your boat!
                  I don't know the story about the batteries, but Paul's advice is excellent as always. If you don't want to charge individual cells, then lower the other ones by balancing them, I have been there, it took days to balance them, it eventually took the charge.
                  I do share your frustration with the batteries, sometimes I want to get into gas boats, lol.....
                  Too many boats, not enough time...

                    Thanks Tim.
                    It seems the more I know, the worse things get.
                    When I had no idea what I was doing and using cheap glues n stuff, everything was awesome.
                    This thing got full throttle and flipped , and servo broke loose. I've never had that happen before
                    It was sad.
                    At this point I just don't know if I have the patience for it. Sorry to say but it's true.
                    I have some serious thinking to do, as I've been wanting to get into mountain biking.
                    Selling it could find a nice bike, and I could get in shape.

                      I should mention I used zpoxy when I installed the servo mount only.
                      I will reglue with the west system.

                        Somebody will get a nice ass boat if I sell, but I want to make sure that servo is in there good first. The boat did run nicely for the minute I ran it.
                        Tons of power.
                        It's heavy with those packs, and it was like nothing was in it. Pull the trigger and whoa!!!!

                          Sorry to here this bro ! Whatever Rumdog used in the Rico 31 was week too it looks like that stuff you fancy CF boat builders use and the motor mount popped right out when I pulled on it. I'm re doing it . Sorry the build went backwards so quick maybe just rest on it and use some JB and puty it's hard to see a boat break that easy after all that work !

                            Totally man.
                            The motor mount didn't move thankfully.
                            I'm pretty sure the servo came loose due to zpoxy, but I dunno anymore lol
                            I'll make sure the servo stays in place this time

                              Zpoxy epoxy or finishing resin? I found the 30-minute epoxy rather weak, but the finishing resin holds pretty good.
