Talking me into an RC boat

Just curious but when it randomly stops in the middle of the pond or does an impression of a submarine what do you do?
A) wade out and retrieve it?
B) go diving to retrieve it?
C) claim on the insurance?
I remember reading once upon a time that a guy playing with RC boats reckoned the best thing he ever bought was an inflatable canoe for rescue duties... kinda put me off! Those £25 chinese specials might be good for a laugh though!A) wade out and retrieve it?
B) go diving to retrieve it?
C) claim on the insurance?

Sounds like either you're pulling too much current & the ESC is going into current limit mode OR and following from that, it's going over temp & switching off as part of saving itself.
Yeah, it sort of feels like that. But it's a MTroniks Viper 20 and I'm measuring 7A current draw max on a 10s 12v NiMH pack. 6A at 6.9v. The ESC is cold to the touch even after half an hour, and the fault occurs from the off.I get same fault using an MTroniks Eco27 car ESU too.
I have also tried reducing the end points on the Tx to 75% and recalibrating and no change.
Is appears everything boat is in amps and everything car is in turns, but I have yet to find a good conversion algorithm!
Some more details on the boat here
