I’m a novice boat builder and have gotten way over my head. I have built smaller boasts but this is my first attempt of a 108th scale boat. I’m having trouble getting the boat to run. I’m using a Neu 1512 4875KY motor, a Swordfish Pro 200A ESC, a Hobbywing 5A UBEC, and 2 Hyperion 4s/ 15.2V batteries. I had some problems with my soldering but have gotten some instruction and cured that. I set everything up according to the instructions that came with the hardware. The boat ran fine in the garage. When I took it to the lake, it ran for a couple of seconds then quit. The steering servo works fine but the motor will no longer run. I can here the beeps faintly coming from the ESC but nothing from the motor. Now when I hook up the battery to test the ESC gets hot really fast.
I know some of you may be laughing at me already but I just need some direction. I will include a couple of photos of the setup. Any help will be appreciated. I’ve spent a lot of money and time and would like to see some results.
Life is good
