    Programming the throttle range using my DX3S was a pain!! I had to play with the brake travel in order for the esc to recognize the neutral position. wow!!!!!!!!!!!

        Seems a lot of people have trouble with the Spektrum radios programming with various esc's. We can't help you if you're using Spektrum.

          Good luck with that. You run the chance of blowing the esc and motor on 4S. That will produce 46,080 no load RPM! Too high for the motor. It will NOT be warrantied. You definitely will need a smaller than stock prop on 4S but we don't carry any because the boat is not designed to run on 4S.

              Use your 1200mAh 3s pack it should net you a little under 4 minutes of runtime, if your in the states I doubt you will be racing it, but the Naviga rules for mini ECO give you a sub 110gram 2-3s LiPo pack which is about 1500mAh in 3s, with which to do a 6 minute race plus in lap.
