The 3D printed airboat saga continues. After I got the stock electronics wet, I purchased a Radiolink RC6GS V3 that came with a receiver as well. I attached them to my stock ESC and brushless motor and once the self test was completed, the motor went to 100% throttle immediately. The only way I can prevent this from happening is by (oddly enough) pulling the throttle trigger of the transmitter all the way back. If I let ago again, the motor goes to 100% throttle. I've searched online for answers, I made sure the cruise control wasn't enabled, I reversed the channel, etc. I also purchased a new Spektrum SPMXAE1030 ESC with the same results.

If I plug everything back into my old receiver though (which works sporadically), the motor/throttle acts completely normally.

Any thoughts and guidance are appreciated, thank you all!

Some of you may have seen my recent post about my 3D printed airboat. Long story short, It got wet inside and I think the receiver I installed from my Aeroscout (Spektrum AR636) is toast. I was looking to get a direct replacement, but didn’t want to drop $70 for a new one, especially when I need only 2 channels instead of six. Looking for suggestions on just another drop in replacement receiver or another receiver/transmitter combo without breaking the bank. Water resistant would be preferred, but again, I’m trying to work within a budget. Thank you all!
