i was running a 5 amp bec. i can almost bet it was just radio interference in my case. but then again it seems when i lost steering it just straitened out and the throttle was stuck on for 3 sec. then came back ...? i drove her back ... Joe i dont recall you taking any pics of the aftermath but if you did feel free to post them. I'm not too excited to build another right now only because I'm unsure of what actually caused the failure. this means ill go with the more expensive monster 2000 esc and new bec, receiver and ill even try the new xr3i that's on its way to my door. ill put the esc/bec in another build I'm doing and see if it fails as it wasn't a laboring build. then ill try the transmitter and receiver.. ill find the problem!

Josh,
Remember when I was running my Apache Cat on my JR XS3 that I had radio problems as well. I first thought it was over heating or a wet receiver but that didn't seem to be the case after all. There may have been interference issues with 75Mhz frequencies in that area. We may need to do some testing when we run there next time.

it runs good as an LSH boat!

What's LSH?

huh??? well i was using the 75 mhz... but i run my maritimo on the same frequency there as well? actually the mm too.

running BEC or no BEC ?

If you are talking of my previous glitches (but with no lost boat) I was running with BEC and a small LiPac to power it with full charge. You cannot run a 200 A Mystery without a BEC to my knowledge.....at least it never worked for me. Like Josh said, he also had a BEC. My glitch problem seems to have gone away with a different ESC, but it is still not that easy to figure out for sure.

Is there any harmonic of 2.4 Ghz from all the wireless stuff around that could cause the problem? Both of us are running FM, my channel 22, dual conversion HiTec.

Nah, sell it to me!! Sorry to see it Josh. Ant pics of the aftermath?

No, I was a bit too tragic to want to remember! I did not take any pictures of the carnage.

Well, I guess it could have been just a coincidence.

I did not realize these hulls have such potential
I may have to build this now, and follow in some footsteps...

dont follow too closely

dont follow too closely

Not sure if I should laugh or cry
