Testing your Boat in the Water
1. Carefully place the boat in the water. If the boat tips
forward, or back, or to one side, move the battery in
the hull for correct balance.
2. Operate the boat at slow speeds near the shoreline.
Avoid objects in the water at all times.
3. When the boat is moving forward, ensure water
flows out of the coolant outlet on the boat. If water
does not flow out of this outlet, repair any breaks or
remove any debris or the motor may overheat.
4 Once you are comfortable operating the boat at
slow speeds, it is safe to operate the boat farther
from the shore. Always keep your boat in sight while
it is in the water.
Rudder Centering
If you feel like you're using a lot of trim to get the boat
to drive straight, return the steering trim to neutral and
mechanically adjust the steering servo linkage.
1. To adjust the linkage, ensure the ESC and servo are
powered ON.
2. Loosen the setscrew on the linkage connector with a
small, flat-bladed screwdriver.
Boating Tips
Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects,
waves, wakes and other rapidly moving water, wildlife,
floating debris or overhanging trees. You should also be
careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many
people, such as swimming areas, park waterways or
fishing areas. Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to pilot your boat.
Maximum speeds are only achieved when the water
conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A sharp
turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is
moving quickly. Always pilot your boat for the wind and
water conditions so that the boat does not turn over.
When running your boat for the first time, we
recommend calm wind and water conditions so that you
can learn how the boat responds to your control.
Motor Care
Seat the motor brushes by driving
smoothly on calm waters during use
of the first battery charge.

IMpORTANT: If the boat does not drive straight,
adjust the steering trim on the transmitter opposite
the direction of drift.
5. Bring the boat back to shore when you notice
the boat starting to lose speed.
6. Power off the ESC and disconnect the battery pack.
7. Allow the motor, ESC and battery pack to cool before
charging the battery or operating the boat again.
NOTICE: Do not turn off the transmitter first or the
receiver may pick up stray signals and run out of
control.
3. Move the linkage in the connector until the rudder is
properly centered
4. Retighten the setscrew.
When making turns, decrease the throttle position
in order to decrease speed and probability of flipping
the boat over.
Operate your boat in water deeper than 5 inches
(127mm).
Avoid vegetation in the water so the propeller and rudder
are not blocked. However, if these parts are blocked,
remove the boat from the water and remove debris.
or without supervision.
• Avoid potential overheating
conditions, such as blockage in
the cooling tubes, driving against
heavy resistance or debris in the
drive system.
CAuTION: Never retrieve your boat from
the water in extreme temperatures, turbulence
• Over-temperature protection is
installed on the ESC to prevent
circuit damage, but cannot
protect the motor from turning
against heavy resistance.
