I think I found one of my problem.

The red wire should be removed from one of the esc's. That is to keep the bec from one esc from backfeeding the other esc.

So having that wire not connected is normal??

On mine the "Y" harness connecting the two esc leads to the receiver has the red wire removed from one of the esc connectors. In your pic it appears that you may have broken wire on the esc side of the connection. It is hard to tell. If so then you could connect that esc lead to the side of the "Y" harness that already has the red wire removed and it should work fine.

Here is another pic. The broken wire is more towards the back of the boat that leads to the receiver. It's on that end that it's broken.

I must almost mention the middle of that connector the red wire came from doesn't have a pin. It's empty!

This. You only need one power from one esc.

Three coats of clear this evening before sun went down. After that the bugs would be out. Soon as I was done with coat three, the lights were turned out and shop locked. I snapped a pic right before. I just can't pick up the color correctly in this light. It's so beautiful.

So disregard that wire?

That is a thing of beauty!

Listen to me. You have two escs, right? Then that means you have a power wire from each one. Then they go into a "y" connector. If one power wire in the y connector isn't clipped then they will feel power into each other. Might not hurt but proper practice it to not back feed them...so you only need power from ONE ESC going into the receiver.

Sunlight will wake it right up. Looks like it has a gold undertone. Any opinions on colorshift?

Ok Thanks for explaining to the slow guy. Appreciated
