r/RemoteControl

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!

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!
