Hi,
I just finished my third boat, a Graupner Red Rocket. This boat as recently discontinued, thus when I contacted the supplier about my problem they were un helpfull. See im only 13 and I dont have as much skill in R/C boat as I would like to acheive.
The Red Rocket is a 23 in catamaran for a speed 500 outboard. I'm running it on seven cells and used a jeti 350 esc. The thing is when I pluged in my battery to the charger (Hitec Cg-340) The LED lghts flashed instantaneously indicating that the battery was charged... this cant be right, for I hadent used the pack before. Being as absent minded as a teenager can be I figured that my pack had been charged at the factory. When I installed it in my boat , switched on my receiver, and ESC ( Im not sure why with an ESC the servo also requires a battery box) and I found that the servo jumped when I witched it on, but the motor did no run, nor did the ESC make the 0.5 sec beep it was supposed to. Im sure all my wires and sermos are soldered properly. What could be the problem?? Im really desperate for help here, please help me!
Thanks alot!!:D

It sounds like you've checked about everything possible. The only things left are things like a bad solder joint, battery tab, etc., so you might go back over the componets and/or try another pack if you have one in your partsbox.
