5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your speed boat.
- After Each Use: Disconnect the boat battery immediately after use.
- Storage: Store the RC boat in a dry location. The RC cabin must be kept completely dry to prevent damage to electronic components.
- Motor Wiring: The three wires of the motor are typically pre-connected. If the propeller reverses instead of moving forward, swap the yellow and black wires to correct the rotation.
