@BernhardP thanks for the reply.

Not tried to measure the amps from the controller yet, it’s the correct regulator for the model, may try that with a smaller motor, if I can find one.

brushed motor problems

hi, sorry for the intrusion, aeromodeller here (sorry) but I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to fix my Grandson's HTX vortex model boat, initially I thought the R/C receiver and motor control card was burnt out. So bought a replacement.
Steering servo works ok, the motor works when connected directly to a 2S battery, and I'm measuring 7.5V at the output wires of the controller. But when I connect the motor to the controller (boat in water) then I may get a little snatch of a run, then nothing. Any suggestions, summer hols are going by and would love to get him on the water again.
