You say you were taking it easy on the boat, were you running at 1/2 speed?

I was having trouble getting it to turn so I was blasting long and straight... Practically coming off plane to do turn around. Hence the blow over...

I know ESC efficiency drops at partial throttle, and I had telemetry temp on board - it was around 130 F at the very few other runs I did. So I thought I was doing a good job. I think water was the culprit with the undetected hull damage.

I have had only one ESC burn up from water in the boat and I left it on all the way around the pond after retrival. sorta rare. I have had several hot setups burn from running 1/2 throttle. Just trying to help

Yeah, heck, you're could be right. Thanks man.
If I repair it I definitely have to rig up a turn fin so I can stay on the power :)

what motor is that? and did it survive the accident?

I kinda dig the starship look. Sorta reminds me of a TREK vessel...

Would you like to buy one... Hardly been used? Kidding of course! :)

I'll have a nice winter repair project.

And thanks Sailr for the tip, I will use that.

No problem. The repair shouldn't take you much more than an hour and then 24 hours for the epoxy to fully set up.

We have more ESC's in stock if you need one.
