    geico gone mad

    Well took the boat out for the second time and still did not get to drive it. I plug in the lipos and wait for the control to connect and nothing but steering...... then out of the blue full throttle....... then before I can get the control off pop goes the end of the shaft with the prop... Wtf??????? What do you think is the problem.........

    what type of radio do you use?, but sounds like the rx and tx are not bound together, i sometimes get the same thing with my dx3 i have got into a routine now i change models and go back to the main screen then switch off the tx a couple times and that stops it other than that i don't have a clue

              Did you calibrate the throttle when you installed the turnigy?
