Default RE: Throttle gets stuck on!

Hi Mikaila,

Problems like this are hard to solve via the forum, but it sounds to me like the ESC's are running hot and simply switch to full throttle.
Needless to say this is not good...

Do you have a picture of the ESC in the boat?
Is there room to add a watercooling?

Do you have another ESC to try in the boat to see if this solves the problem?

Another thing may be the battery, if the voltage drops below a certain level, you can still steer, but the ESC cuts down; if this function doesn't respond properly, anything might happen...

Regards, Jan.
