Default RE: rc boat problem


ORIGINAL: moosemessier

the damn thing is not responding from anything over 10 feet.

i cannot figure this out.

the motor and servos run perfectly when the control is up close to the boat.

what is going on?

thanks guys.

I had a similar range problem after submerging my Futaba receiver, turned out a coil was shorted out and severely limited the range, like you described.
Sent it to the manufacturer and got the coil replaced, works fine ever since.

Regards, Jan.

P.S.: I doubt though, if it's worth the trouble with your Nikko boat, inquire about the costs involved before you ship it.

The Offshore tip is good!
