    Default new boat broken

    Okay I was running a lot of full throttle and the boat stop. Got it out of the pond unplugged then turned it back on off in the water as soon as I put a load on it nothing. Is this a bad ESC. Boats a day old.

    Possibly ran the batteries low and the low voltage cutoff was kicking in when the batteries were put under a load. How long did you run her for? Try charging up the packs and running her again.

    Sorry for the double reply....I mean it could be, that wouldn't explain that unplugging and re plugging. I guess it could

    So I charged the 2x lipo 2s 5000 as requested and same thing happened. Heres whats going on. When you hit the throttle and then let the prop stop, and hit the throttle the motor starts cogging. It may or may not start or get past that point if you turn the prop by hand and then throttle again it runs.....repeat repeat. Could this be a loose bullet problem?

    Are the motor/esc bullets the stock 3.5mm still? Or have you changed to bigger?

    Push/pull on your motor wires, still sounds like a bad connection since you stated that the motor is cogging.
    also try and run it with no lipo cut off on the esc.

    I checked them. Here's the thing when it died in the water last night the servo stopped too. Unplugging and re plugging wouldn't have anything to do with the rx/tx. I took a ESC from the hobby shop no longer cogging
