Ok I have no idea what I am doing.
I have a DX6i radio with a AR6200 reciever hooked to a Aquacraft 30 amp ESC hooked to a brushed motor that came with a jim wilder tug. I goes forward fine but reverse is very slow. I can't find a setting that makes reverse go faster. What am I doing wrong.???

I tried everything I could think of, reverse moves very slow, I also assume the esc has reverse also. Guess I just thought it should work, maybe not?

Those ESC are horrible the reverse is very slow and can't be adjusted they have to be replaced . I replaced it with a pro boat and the boat works fine forward and reverse and I'm using a DX7 with no problem

Your local hobby shop pro boat.com tower hobbies it should run you about $40.00 to $50.00 .
Glad I could help I had the same problem . Changed out the ESC boat runs great now . |

Chocolate, you will find the Proboat ESC will have poor low RPM response. When you barely move your throttle stick forward (or reverse) this ESC jumps to about 30%. In a go-fast boat that's OK, but in a tug it is not. Suggest the Mtronics Viper Marine ESC's. They have equal, full throttle forward and reverse and very slow RPM's on first moving the throttle. I changed a Proboat for a Viper in my Springer a few years ago and it's still great. And I have one in JW, finished last year. She goes creepy slow, but will try to plane if run at WOT.
Harbor Models sells them, as do others. |

GSPI, 2.4 radios such as Sectrum dx series are not ''aircraft radios'' thay are for use in the sky and on land and water. They are just no good for submarines as the signal will not penerate water.

I have not used Spektrum on any of my 28 RC boats yet as I just got a Spektrum surface radio for the first time for Christmas. I've had AM and FM radios that I have used on them for many years and was working on consolidating them to the Spektrum surface system which will be taking a while. |
