You know thats odd you mention this. My radio system glitched a couple times the first few times I used the boat. I just pulled the stock crap out and put my normal stuff I use in it. No issues since then. Sorry about the boat, hopefully you find it. Where exactly where you running? How did you lose sight of it?

Got it back today after 24 hour in the ice Now I have to find out what went wrong whit radio or ESC. Danm every time I buy a new Proboat the sh*t breaks in 1/2 a lipo pack.

Glad you at least found it! I would try a re-bind and if it still acts up contact horizon or just ditch the stuff. I've never had good luck with spektrum but its always been with their bottom dollar stuff. I tried the stock river jet radio in a motley crue a week ago that I'm selling to a buddy and it glitched a couple times. I took the stuff out and its in a box of spare crap where it'll stay forever probably Lol.

Yeah for sure I will test it whit one of my other radios / receiver when its dry up. I also think its a *!***!***!***!** radio.

Yeah Thanks finally it works as it suppose to Will contact proboat about the faulty radio system. I notice when I run full speed its very difficult to turn smooth I think its about the stock nozzle does it help whit the upgrade nozzle. Will it make it more easy to control. ?

[Mxkid261]

Yes turning in general sucks with the stock nozzle until you reduce the I.D of it. You can purchase the nozzle the one guy makes, or simply install something like this into the stock nozzle like I did.
