Change battery. Keep dry all conections. If the problem continuos change esc.

I have the same problem -need to return it - never worked. Control goes green even if the boat is inside unplugged.

Check whether the motor responds (i.e., is there any movement) when connected directly to an electricity source (with no hands etc. attached to it). If not then return it to the vendor as a faulty item.

it sounds like you need to push the fly/run button on the controller (lower right side). If you have pushed that button to change from run to fly, you may have a defective controller. This is a fantastic RC vehicle, I really hope this works for you and you enjoy it as much as I have.

Hi, I really dont know whats wrong with it...but I also bought the same boat and it did the same thing...I dont think any of those boats work correctly.

Change your motor drive function to timer/ remote control. This video should help. It's a different remote, but same setting. You can skip about a minute into the video. http://youtu.be/org_fh7Gri8

Interesting! That is one issue that I haven't had to deal with. That said, the right trigger is slow and using both the left and right triggers give you top speed. If your unit has the propeller spinning after you plug in the battery, without any other action, it needs to be returned.

If by "intermittent power surges" are you referring to the motors seeming to go on/off/on/off/ etc while held at full throttle?? If so, I noticed the same thing on mine. However, it was on a day when the water was not smooth but a bit choppy. Remember in the instructions it stated propellers will not run unless in water?? Well part of the electrical connection system is a wire to each of the propeller axles (inside the boat); when both propellers are in the water there is a connection; if one or the other comes out of the water - connect ion is broken!! The propeller(s) bouncing in and out of the water would cause this. One solution would be to disconnect the two wires and splice them together; CAUTION: this would allow the propellers to turn while not in the water and damage to the propellers (or a person touching them) could result.

this may help. hoes maybe to short.just a guess. ck the volts to much power will make the motor run faster. if any of THESE will not work send it back. thanks

Sounds like something is hooked up backwards. No problem with that here while it was running, mine died after 2 months of use, motor burned up.

The control unit may need a software revision. In 14 years my software has never been updated. Call Hayward for more info.

Make sure after you plug in the battery that you put is on a flat surface so it can calibrate properly. Also make sure that the motor cover is keeping the motor from backing out.

it is a digital servo, I have the same problem, I fixed mine with a servo from a broken DH9116 helicopter.

check your servo connections or if the servo works fine..... check the link with the servo to rudder. If after check all this things your servo dont work, connect another servo to see if the channel in your receiber works fine.

Make sure you put the water in first, then plug the cord in. I found that out once when I had plugged the motor in, but didn't have water in it yet. Then I added water, and nothing happened. Water first, then plug it in. Good luck

The is a common problem with average or low quality motors especially when the filter becomes old. The resolution is to replace the filter, clean the motor thoroughly, let it dry, re-install it with a new filter and make sure the water level is correct. In addition please make sure you are keeping the tank clean by following the guidelines using a vacuum etc. This will keep the motor from "clogging" up fast. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem when I received mine. I did a search on the internet and found the procedure necessary to program the remote to the motor. I don't remember the sequence of pressing the comtrols but if you do a search you will find it

Try taking the servo arm off the swashplate and unscrewing the black part that connects to swash a cpl turns put it back on and keep trying until heli quits pulling you can adjust them to make your heli fly different ways
