Make sure the radio is "ON" and the batteries are plugged into the 
speed controller. Test the radio system for proper operation and then 
carefully place the boat in the water. Pilot the boat at slow speeds, 
staying close to the shoreline to ensure you have good control and that 
the boat is functioning correctly. Be certain to avoid all objects in the 
water at all times. 

Once you feel comfortable with the control of your boat, it is safe to go 
further away from the shoreline and at faster speeds. When you notice 
the boat beginning to lose speed, bring the boat back to shore. It will 
be necessary to allow the electronic components to cool down and to 
replace or recharge the battery before heading out again.

Note: 

 As racing inspired boats, hydro hulls are designed to turn 
exceptionally well to the right but you must slow the boat to 
turn the boat in the left direction. Failure to do so may cause 
the boat to capsize.

Section 5: Checking the Radio System

Ensure the longer antenna wire is properly placed through the antenna 
tube. It may be necessary to slightly pull the antenna tube out to make 
certain the radio range is sufficient

To range check your model, walk 10 paces away from the boat.  
Confirm that you have control of the boat by actuating the rudder. If 
range is acceptable, continue with the preparation of your model.

The rudder control arm should move toward the front of the boat when 
right input is given. Conversely, when left input is given, the control arm 
should move toward the back of the boat.

Right Turn

Right Turn

The ESC will beep until you give full throttle input. The auto sensing 
circuitry will select full throttle position when you hold full throttle 
during initial setup. Release the throttle trigger. With the propeller free 
from any objects, give some throttle input to ensure that the motor 
is working. If everything appears to be functioning correctly, you are 
ready to run your boat. Be sure to turn off the receiver switch, then the 
transmitter to keep stray signals from sending the boat out of control.

Note:

  The ESC has an over-rev limiter that will not allow you to 

hold full throttle when the propeller is not loaded (in the 
water). To reset, return the throttle trigger to neutral. The 
auto sensing voltage cutoff will also cut off power to the 
motor when the ESC senses that the batteries are nearing 
full discharge.

Note:

  If you are transporting your boat, make sure you disconnect 

the battery from the speed controller and then turn your 
radio off until you are ready to run the boat. Once ready, 
simply turn the radio on and plug the battery into the speed 
controller, again making sure that the boat is in neutral.
