What kind of batteries are you using, what is the amp hour rating on the batteries?

sounds like lvc is still on.. can you turn that off?
 
I would never turn lvc off on a lipo battery. good way to kill a lipo.
I would if I knew what it was sorry new to this stuff ill look at the paper work see if I can figure it out Thanks
 
Id agree on to high a turn motor. what i read about statement about add motors I found useless.. and How is a clearly stated NiMh a lipo. it says even 8.4....Venom 5000 mah 8.4 v high power nimh battery

Thanks for the pics. Interesting. Never seen one like it. I'm thinking it might be a commercial fishing boat, maybe even a whaler.

So I've looked all over no one shows you how to turn off LVC saw one vid shows how to re program esc need some reader to do so
but did read the 880 that i have comes pre programmed for a Lipo battery and i have a NiMh so do iI need to change that to beside changing the LVC

It looks like Dumas Enterprise hull. The electronic speed control might not be able to handle 2 motors. I can't see in the shots what it has for motor speed control as that can cause it to shut off.
 
I don't know if it was explained differently in other terms other than LVC, but in case it wasn't, what TNT is saying, your ESC is in LiPo mode. You need to turn it onto Nimh mode. In LiPo mode, your ESC will shut down at a certain voltage to keep from over draining a LiPo battery, which is really bad. WIth your Quick Run ESC, it might be a jumper on the top of it.
 
put 10 cell nimh in series try that .. dint see any listing about jumper s in anything I read on a program card.LVC needs to be off.
