SAFETY PRECUATIONS:
Never, ever attempt to swim after a stalled RC boat. DO NOT
get in the water for any reason to retrieve your boat. Your
Revolt has fl otation added to the interior of the hull and the
cowl. They will not sink. To aid you in retrieving a stalled RC
boat you can use a fi shing reel with a tennis ball tied to the
end of the line. Or better yet, get yourself a small Jon boat so
you can row out and pick up your boat. Remember to use a
PFD any time you enter your retrieval craft.
Do not touch the propeller anytime the motor is running. Pay
equally close attention to items such as loose clothing,
shirtsleeves, ties, scarves, long hair or anything that may
become entangled in the spinning prop. If your fi ngers,
hands, etc. come in contact with the spinning propeller, you
may be severely injured.
The speed and mass of this boat can infl ict property damage
and severe personal injury if a collision occurs. Never run
this boat in the presence of swimmers or where the possibility
of collision with people or property exists.
This boat is controlled by radio signals, which are susceptible
to possible interference from RF sources. It is a good idea to
pre-check the system to make sure it’s operating properly
before you launch your boat.
If your boat should happen to stall, water currents will slowly
carry it to shore. The bad news is the boat could be carried
to the opposite shore. When surveying areas to run your
model, keep variables in mind such as wind direction, size of
the lake, etc. It is not advisable to run R/C boats on any free-
fl owing bodies of water such as creeks or rivers.

PLEASE READ:
Notes about using LiPo batteries in your boat: The Revolt uses
the AquaCraft 60amp motor controller. This controller has a built
in stutter bump system that cycles the power to the motor when
the battery voltage reaches 12V. This is designed to warn you of
impending low battery voltage and subsequent shut down. It also
has a 10.8V battery cut off safety system that shuts the power
down to the motor to avoid damaging the batteries.
Having said this, as a rule of thumb we have found it best in very
high current draw application like an RC boat, to not to use more
than 70% of the rated capacity of the battery pack, per run. We
have also found that when in doubt and using the recommended
propellers you can expect to use about 1000mAh (give or take)
per minute of operation. Using this you can better judge your
runs knowing you’re taking the very best care of your battery
pack investment.
GrimRacer says:
It’s best to test this by making a timed
2 min run. Then charge the batteries back up and note the
amount of mAh the pack allowed back in. Do this each and
every time you make a prop change or any other signifi cant
change to your setup. Then adjust your driving time so you don’t
go over the 70% usage mark.
Also keep in mind that RC car packs (hard case) could be used.
But if you get them wet, they can store water, causing the internal
metal parts of the pack to corrode, and in turn causing short pack
life. We highly recommend using dedicated marine LiPo packs
like those in the GrimRacer Line.
