🔧 RC Tuning Guide
What's it doing wrong? Pick the symptom and get the fixes to try — in order, with the reason each one works. Change one thing at a time and re-test.
Real tuning theory — cars/trucks, boats, planes and FPV drones each have their own real symptoms and fixes. Your exact manual/manufacturer guide always wins — this gets you pointed the right way fast.
The boat flips over at speed — the turn fin or hull is generating too much lift and rolling it.
The hull rocks side-to-side at speed instead of tracking flat and straight.
The bow bounces up and down instead of running flat on top of the water.
The boat struggles to climb onto plane and just bogs at half-throttle.
The prop spins up with a whine but the boat doesn't accelerate — it's drawing air, not water.
The boat either darts too hard into turns or won't turn in enough.
The bow digs in and dives instead of skimming on top of the water.
The boat snaps sideways and spins mid-turn instead of carving through it.
The boat glitches or loses connection out on the water, especially at distance.
