Show Off Your Boat(s)!

I lost radio and came full speed to the shore and hit the main leg of the steel tables . The weird thing is that Henry Velsco's boat did the exact same thing 15 minutes later. I already talked to Mike (Grimracer) about the incident.

Henry's crash

That’s crazy…. I’ve seen several boats hit the bank at full tilt, with various degrees of damage, but wow… that is some total destruction..

Sorry for Henry’s and your loss. 15 minutes apart,,, very suspicious circumstances..

I’m not a big fan of 2.4 gig radios, never have been.
When I switched from FM to 2.4, the first time out, I lost radio.. thankfully the boat just did donuts until it swamped itself and stayed away from shore..

the radio had been range checked,, had brand new lipo’s, new switch, antenna rules were adhered to… best I could tell it was a bad receiver, ( it now resides at the bottom of the lake) I stuck in a new receiver and it has seemed to be fine after that.. I just don’t trust them like I did my old PCM Magnum's..

A few more pictures.
BTW, The Dumas Hotshot has been sold, was my first one. The Bandit_Killer crashed and someone on Vancouvewr Island has it now. The Graupner -Valvoline Bosch, run it once and sold it. The yellow TS2 is also sold long time ago.
The Nemesis is build by Gabe Clegg.

Boaters,

I bet the reason is mismatched battery power without a regulator.
Older servos and receivers are not always rated to be able to run
with higher battery voltages.

Just A Thought,

When we spoke we talked in depth about install.. BUT.. none of this explained two different band systems having the same issue, on the same place on the course, 15 min apart. the boats literally crashed the VERY same way 15 min apart.

One more thing worth noting.. the boats were not NEW.. they had and had been running and racing at different locations too.

The men owning and operating the boats are not NEW to the hobby or 2.4...

SOOOOO ODDD. that they experienced the same issue.
