    hi. Iv fitted a pair of mtronic viper 15 amp esc's..each having there own 15amp fuse servicing each esc..........it runs nicely and does move some water..if I put the tug against the bank and throttle it up it blows the fuse on each motor..I ran the leeft motor gradually increasing power and fuse blew..I repeated this with the right engine and it did the same......can you tell me what these motors are please and what power should draw??

    all sorted it was the brand new servo that was dodgy.....I changed it for an expensive one out of my nitro truck and alls well..........I bought a pusher tug to play with whilst I got lady jan sorted.11.45pm I thought id drop the pusher tug in the water and have a play with it, (it has lights ๐Ÿ˜ถ )as soon as I gave it some power it blew the main 10 amp fuse and left it dead in the water,eventualy I retreaved the pusher tug and headed for the engine room (I live on a 62ft tug)and sorted lady jans servo issues now 2am ๐Ÿ˜ ..............


    problem number 2............my pusher tug has a pair of geared motor's running one esc..my plan is to run each motor independantly via a pair of esc's.....how do I test and see if one of the motors is drawing to much power?? I have a dc clamp meter that test amps????
