I bought a PX 16 Strom Engine Mosquito Racing Boat 32" Catermaran R/C Jet NQD Ship from dreamaurala. My problem is everytime I hit the trigger on the transmiter the boat will go 5 ft and shut down. It does this without fail. What could be wrong wiht...

The only thing I know is the controller have all 3 (red, green & yellow) lights on. Also make sure you screwed in the antenna all the and extended it all the way up.

Be aware that salt water will kill it, period. Also, based on experience with other RC boats, heavily chlorinated water like at public pool can be pretty bad for the motors also. Read rest of my review o this item. "GROG"

Jesse, dont know what actual speed it may achieve, with no modifications, appears you must drill main jet carb out to somewhere around .039 to. 043 to eliminate hesitation , if you attempt to race it. Then u must remove governor.! This is stuff that i have heard and read on social networks. No experience myself

no, these boats are cheap, so make sure to follow the instructions, turn on the hand held transmitter first then the boat..Turn off the boat then the transmitter, If you don't follow this the boat could be interfered with and not work properly. the longer antenna won't matter unless your 100 yards away from boat.

Hi John,I wish I could remember what happened with the boat. I may have even returned it. We were looking for Remote Control boats, and had ordered some others as well. We ended up keeping 2 - German Bismarck Military Battleship and Challenger Warship Aircraft Carrier. Minor assembly for each (guns and such), and a rechargeable battery (lasts about half an hour, I think). Both are able to be operated together in the swimming pool. The kids have fun with them, but fingers need to be far from the propellers so they don't get cut off when the boats are activated. Take care, Christine

I just check the proper pressure with my hands on the boat body. The valves could be better constucted. Whenn I fill with air (I use a hand pump), I press more inside than I need, so it's not to bad loosing some pressure during disconnecting. I think, the valves are the weakest parts of this boat, but it is a really nice boat.

Ours works fine. It's a push button. Otherwise though, after first voyage, the middle propeller stopped working and the boat filled with water. We had to return the first boat due to filling, propellers not working, wouldn't go in reverse. Now, were having similar problems with the second one. Oh well, I guess it will become an expensive dust collector. Hope this helps.

I believe it is good up to low 100s hp. You need to go to the next one up for 200HP. Check Sea Stars web site the have information on all outboards and what fits what normally. They are helpful o the phone too. Call and leave a message for tech support and they actually call back. Hope this was helpful. Capt. Jack Boender

I don't know the answer to this. But we bought one of these boats and returned it because it didn't run in the water. The replacement didn't run either. It looks cool, but is made cheap & doesn't run.

I am not an expert on radios, like someone who is trying to sell you a transmitter for a boat, but I would think it would be ok. Of course there is the water issue but I would think you should be able to overcome that problem fairly easily. You might go to the site that specializes in boat transmitters and see what, if anything, makes theirs different. There are so many different way to setup your right and left turns and speed. I wish you good luck with your project. Robert

I have my transducer mounted on the transom of my 24' center console with an outboard engine. I start to lose the bottom when I get in the upper teens MPH which is very frustrating. I believe that my transducer is getting some interference to the water flow and will try to reposition it.

I could never get mine to fly at all. One of the motors only spins up intermittently causing the craft to invert and crash. Just got it a few weeks ago but never got it to work.

Michael Try to change the props to the oppsite sides -they should run so the leiding edge is going forwards this makes the boat go forward- I changed all the rc radio and reciver and mounted a hi tq servo with a new working rudder and now it almost flyes across the lake. Hope this helps Larry

I have two of the boats, so I have two chargers. The charging of the batteries is a bit clunky. Sometimes I will take what I think is a fully charged battery and as soon as it hits the water the remote starts beeping indicating a low battery. The boat runs fast and for a long time, so I'm pretty sure the low battery signal is flawed. Other times, the battery is fully charged and only lasts a short time. Sorry, that is no help, but your charger may be working fine and the boat/remote are acting weird...Happy boating.

Alex , I gave this boat to my son in law Neil Wattier, his email is wattier32@hotmail.comPlease ask him ,he has the boat and I think it'll be faster talking directly to Neil.If I can be any other help please ask.Howard

I encountered this problem previously unknown And I skipped this problem after that I've installed a transmitter inside the boat and not outside I apologize for not being able to explain more because of the weakness of my English :)
