    You def want to get rid of that esc. With the extra pvc rig and downed boat your pushing around your adding to the stress on the esc. I went through 2 stock esc's just running normally with cool down periods in between so I know it wouldn't be long before the esc would fry using it as a rescue boat.

    The guys are right. We had a odd issue with the ESCs in the first production of the boat...

    BTY.. that ESC is 30amps. It takes that quite well.

    Good boating

    I just bought one and have maybe an hour total running time and the ESC is out already. I know absolutely nothing about the RC world this is my first purchase just bought to play with grandson when he is visiting. It looks like there has been a problem is the a upgrade for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
