Default Help Help Glitch problem, 1527 240hv 6s m8

Ok, this boat is a new setup and I have attempted two runs but it goes crazy outside of 10-20 feet loosing throttle and steering. I carbonfibered the inside and did not put glass over it.... I am using an m8 radio, a 1527 1d, a hydra 240hv and a pair of 6s lipo in parallel. See the pics. Let me know if you have any ideas, even crazy ones, chants, spells ect..... I really want to get this running right. The radio worked good in the last boat also. Motor and ecs are supposed to be new and inside of 20' everything sounds and runs good.

I would say:
1. check rx pack voltage underload if possible

2. Carbon Fiber and Rx's don't mix, try to move it towards the transom up higher away from CF!!!

3. Keep Rx away from esc, motor, batts.

Thats it for now.

On a side note, I would get rid of deans and go to 5mm at least. That is a beast for amp draw depending on prop.

I would have put the antenna centered on the back, I did on mine.

Keep Antenna wire off CF also

well other then the new batteries which you will need because thoes MAX AMPS will not hold up .... and organize your boat. keep the RX far away from the esc and motor and secure everything down.

At the $50 a piece I paid for the batteries even if they only last a while it should be good. Agreed If I was to pay 300 a piece I may shop a different brand.

Have you tried moving the RX with in the last few days? I believe all that CF is your source of trouble.

Yea that was the problem. Once I moved the receiver it was nearly glitch free.
Thank you everyone for all the help.
