Boating Tips
Avoid boating near other watercraft, stationary objects, waves, wakes and other
rapidly moving water, wildlife, floating debris or overhanging trees. You should
also be careful to avoid boating in areas where there are many people, such as
swimming areas, park waterways or fishing areas. Consult local laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to pilot your boat. Maximum speeds are
only achieved when the water conditions are smooth and there is little wind. A
sharp turn, wind or waves can turn over a boat when it is moving quickly. Always
pilot your boat for the wind and water conditions so that the boat does not turn
over. When running your boat for the first time, we recommend calm wind and
water conditions so that you can learn how the boat responds to your control.
When making turns, decrease the throttle position in order to decrease speed
and probability of flipping the boat over.
NOTICE: When running at full speed in choppy waters, the prop may exit and
re-enter the water repeatedly and very quickly, subjecting the propeller to some
stress. Frequent stress may damage the propeller.
CAUTION: Never retrieve your boat from the water in extreme temperatures,
turbulence or without supervision.
Motor Care
• Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions. Undue motor wear
results from frequent turns, stops and starts, pushing objects, boating in rough
water or vegetation and boating continuously at high speed.
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent circuit damage,
but cannot protect the motor from pushing against heavy resistance.
