HELP NEW BOATER, out of the box and wont work

[taildancer]

Im new at this, not sure if Im explaining this right ,but here goes !!!!

OK, bought a gool rc gc001 I open the box ,charged the boat battery, put six new double a battery's in the transmitter connected boat battery put the boat in the

water, got solid green light to transmitter, tried to go and nothing,checked everything three times, still nothing, its totally dead nothing moves in the boat at all,

transmitter s lights come on red on the left and green on the right ,but thats all, nothing from the boat, ,this was to be a gift for a kid,and its very disappointing I cant give it too him to play with,its literally brand new,and wont work at all. also

If I leave the boat battery unplugged and turn the controller on then the green light indicates that it paired with the receiver. This should not be possible with the receiver having no power.

If I plug the boat battery in first, ensuring the receiver and servo is connected, then turn on the transmitter, the same thing happens with the green light. I have also done this with the boat in water and the same thing happens.

Turning on the controller before the boat makes the same thing happen.

In all cases, input to the controller has no effect on the boat. No rudder movement. No throttle forward or backward.

Based on prior experience with 2.4GHz remote control systems it would appear that this system is not pairing properly.

Found on RcMoment's advert for it.

PS: The boat can only start in the water
Operation Instruction: Fully charge the boat's battery and use a new battery for the controller. Power on the boat and then put it above the water, but pay attention that controller needed to be turned on within 5 seconds to bind with the boat.

Worth a try.

And from a tumbler product review.

I had difficulty making the boat run at first. When the main boat battery was charged and inserted and connected and the transmitter turned on, nothing happens - the boat must be placed into water to energize the receiver. The receiver and transmitter must be linked by placing the boat in water and turning on the transmitter immediately - within a couple seconds. Wait too long and nothing happens. The transmitter will indicate a lock has been made by turning the flashing green light to steady on, but nothing works - you waited too long to turn on the transmitter. (The boat was almost returned for being dead before this was figured out.)

Once working the boat engine may start running on its own with no input from you. This means the speed trim knob is not adjusted. Turn the knob until the motor stops running. The same may happen with the rudder control. It also has a trim knob to adjust its resting position.

No worries, it is not me, I have never even seen one of these. There is an anonimous reviewer out there somewhere to thank, and google is great. I am glad you got it going.
