Yo Mikey:

The lovely Lisa has offered to send me a new controller....assuming the ponds up here don't freeze and I get a chance to try the new controller, I'll send the old one to you to tinker with as well.

I just got off the phone with Adam at hobby services. I told him what was up and that Grim was aware of the issues some of us were having. He was like I don't know what you're talking about and nobody up here knows what you're talking about. We've had no issues whatsoever come through this office, If you want to send it in we'll look at it. Thanks.
Guess I'll send it in and wait.

I'm kinda pissed. That was not my typical experience with customer service there. Guess I shouldn't have called on a Friday.

New here but 25+ years in RC.
Purchased 2 of these Minimono boats. First I want to say awesome boats fast for a 17" boat stock. We had one of our boats do the above 75-100% with full charge. 3rd battery it released the magic smoke. Nasty smelling little bugger also. I simply checked all the gear to make sure it worked, servos, battery and motor. Called Tower (in my case) customer service took care of it and I will have a new esc hopefully by Friday. Kinda a bummer to have it smoke so soon but it happens hopefully not again though. Hobbypartz has the 1300mah 3s on sale for $7 if anybody cares we got 8 for the 2 boats should keep us busy. The running boat has now had about 15 packs through it.

Little video of same day of the remaining boat.

I was really looking forward to getting one of these, but I think I'll wait for the next batch and hope some of these bugs get worked out.

Well, I couldn't help myself. My LHS had a little Black Friday sale. I was out the door with my Minimono for $130. Hopefully, she works well. It probably won't see water until after winter.

i guess ill be getting in contact with aquacraft services myself as well, my brand new minimono on its maiden voyage had its ESC explode out the side, causing a small fire, the inside of the boat is all smoke damaged, the motor mount is burnt looking, the top of the hull above the esc deformed from the explosion.....worst part was everything was nice and cool when i retrieved it, even the other side of the esc that did not explode, this sucks, i was so happy with the way the boat was performing for the first 5 minutes then it literally just went POP. dead in the water.....

My Son's ESC was doing the same thing as you guys described. I just called and they are sending me a new one - No questions asked. So far I have been really happy with the customer service.

i sent my boat back after the explosion, i got a brand new one back a little over a week later, i was happy to see the new boat had a water cooled 20amp esc, the old did not, i was un happy to see the new boat arrive with a broken prop, oh well, ill run her this weekend and see what shes got.
