your hatch should not have kept blowing off, it has a strong magnet, mine works fine. I run my shockwave with 8000mah 2s lipo at full throttle almost all the time. It runs like 7-9min. It should not effect the esc unless you detached watercooling. If your battery was swelling, that might have been problem. Did you make sure it was ok before run? You should also wait for the battery to completely cool before running it after charges.

Jan,
Thank you so very much for the help!
I was running half throttle for a while..3 to 4 minutes..I had only had it in the water about 10 minutes or so?
The battery was charging for about 50 minutes before i took it out..The charger did not say full..but i took it out any way....i had the battery taped it with blue painters tape..not velcro
So maybe that had something to do with it? I did place a small piece of tape in the front of the hatch because it kept blowing off.
I am not sure if I want to buy another boat try...or hang up my captains hat for good!
again,
Thanks so much for the help!
