              This is why we all hesitate when someone outside the hobby asks, “how much do you have in that toy boat?”
              We never tell them about all the “learning” costs behind the successful setups...

                When someone outside the hobby ask much... I tell them plan on $1-2000. Most time it they go silently.

                      The HUll is fine. I hope the Lehner is OK. I think the Controller gave out. 5 laps full tilt. I think the battery damage is from the controller. Sits on top of the batts. Those Fliers work till they don't. I have run this before so who knows.

                          Thanks I will. Need to clean it all first.

                          Think I figure out the scenario.

                          Motor wire came off.
                          Took out the controller.
                          Controller blew and dead shorted the batts.
