When on 4s, I noticed the wires from the ESC were really hot. So I put a 12 gauge piece in between the two deans plugs. Wires were cold, as well as the motor and such. Water is freezing already so I'm sure that helps.
But now that I'm on 5s, the motor wires got hot now, so hot in fact, the de-soldered from a bullet and left the boat dead in the water. I thought I blew the ESC, but it was only mildly warm.
Was about to try another speed control, when I noticed the wire was hanging out!! After re soldering it, it's fine, and not nearly as hot for some reason?? Maybe cause of lack of solder?
Anyway, just reporting some things I've experienced so far. Other than that, this boat ROCKS!
Handles like a dream. My buddy with his bj26 is very jealous now, and looking at getting one of the best boats I've seen!!
Excellent job on this one!!
