Ideally you should have your throttle stick self centring, this ensures your boat stops when the throttle stick is released no messing about trying to find centre off.
Start by turning on your transmitter then place your throttle stick in the centre off position. Next turn on your esc and wait for it to arm (beeping noise from the motor) ensure you do not move the throttle stick at this time. Now see if this has worked giving you forward and reverse.
If there is still no reverse then you need to set throttle range. Manufacturers have slightly different ways for this but more often this will work:
1) transmitter on throttle stick on centre
2) arm esc, wait for beeps
3) move throttle stick to full forward motor should beep
3) move throttle stick to full reverse motor should beep
4) move throttle stick to centre motor should beep
Note on some esc’s you have to set centre before setting reverse
Hope this is clear enough for you to try.

Hi, is the esc you have one where you have to set the throttle range and neutral in the middle.

Is the throttle stick sprung to centre?
If it isn’t then you haven’t much chance of finding centre off.
The kit for the i6 is available from China for a few pounds but make sure you order the one with 2 dowel pins in the kit because you do need them both.
Are you using 2 esc’s ?

Thanks for your reply, the boat has been ID as a precedent Hanseat

Thanks very much for for your assistance in identifying the boat.

Does anyone know what this boat might be.
It’s 51” long by 13” wide and was built to take an IC engine.
It also looks like it’s built from a kit.
Thanks Dave

I to have the Volere and cured the bow wave by adding spray rails. I used 2mm square white plastic trim purchased from my local hobby shop. Stuck them on with iso from the bow along the line of the white paint for about 150mm long. The boat now planes fantastically and has increased speed. On reflection I would run the spray rails full length of the hull to improve the authentic.
