Default RE: HK Small Bolt Hydro same as HOTR

Ok, so I take the bolt out and ran it on the plastic prop and it ran pretty good,
but was coming out of the water (skipping) once and awhile. Then I went to a
different pond and it was a little rougher but not much (small waves) and put on
the x432 prop and it went ok but was popping out of the water more often.
Then it did a sub dive and somehow the throttle got stuck on but the remote
was in nuetral position. Anyway it was diving straight down with a stream of
bubbling water coming up (must be very shallow). Then it popped back up to
the surface and I could hear the sevo working but the motor would not.
So I go get the pole with the tennis ball and then try the remote again and
I was able to get it back, the motor started to work again. I pulled the canopy
off and the motor was hot and smelled like it was burning. I then tried
to see if it would still run and it did, but I packed it up and went home. I like the stock
motor but in case it's fried, what or where can I get a replacement. Also how smooth
does the water have to be to run the bolt.
