Hello everyone
I am a newb at boat and Rc of this centry all together.
I traded my nitro Losi truck for a Aqua Craft Super Vee. It has a stock brushless motor, stock ESC, stock receiver, threeblade balanced berilium prop, the batteries are two 7.2's.
All the cooing tubes are working the flex shaft is lubed and strait and free flowing. The problem is this, I hold the boat in my hand hold the trigger it beeps, once i let go it beeps 3 times. Then i hit the trigger and the prop goes like it should. I then set the boat in the water, hit the trigger it goes about 4 feet and stops then I re arm it the water and hit the trigger and the same. Well then I take the boat hold it one hand and hit the gas and the prop goes like a bat out of hell, so I then throw the boat along the water (with the trigger on and the prop going like a bat out hell)and it goes and pretty fast to . So I do about 4 laps around the pond and bring it in. The batteries are burning hot and i cant touch them without gloves. All the shrinkwrap has melted off the batteries so Im guessing that is not good. I would like to set the boat in the water and give it the gas and it would just go. Any help woul dbe great thanks a ton!!!

Thanks what your saying makes sence. I checked and I have a Octura 440 prop and my batteries are 7 cels each and they are "hump backs" I gues, the say TENERGY on the cells. What kind of prop, size and from where? I saw a Super Vee on youtube that had 14 cells and it ripped it had a Graupner K series 48mm 2 blade prop. I want this thing to rip. Would it be possible to leave the prop and get better batteries?
