Oh! I hope you had the wheels in the water thrashing away while you burned through a battery charge. You'll kill the seals if you run the thing too long in the dry condition.
Got the check. Very generous. Thank you ... Ellie thanks you. I live another day.
ooops! I did run it dry. However I did lube the seals with silicone oil before the run. Also put silicone oil on the o-rings to close the cylinder. I guess I better watch the seals closely when I put it in water. ****, I'm sure allot of trouble aren't I. Jack
Honestly, you probably got away with it, but do a leak check on the SD before plunking the thing into the water (you're supposed to every time, anyway). Should be OK. Hope the motors were throttled back when you dumped that battery pack.
Yeah, you're high-maintenance, but you do put models into the water and run 'em. That counts for a lot in my book.
I guess the only thing I did right was running them at low motor. 1/4 to 1/3 throttle. I wanted to see that they would run for a full battery cycle. Jack
