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...Comment

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 putyit'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.
