Yep that happened to me! i have a nice size pond in my backyard and rolled my T-Maxx right on in! no damage! got it out. Killed the motor. emptied the tank. ran some wd40 through the engine and bam! Started right up. that was 2 years ago. Still running strong!

I feel ya pain bro. I ran my brushless rustler vxl into the canal behind my house! It survived though, and that was electric! You should be ok, just make sure all of your electronics (servos and receiver) are working properly.

Best thing you could have done from my experience I did it years ago to an OFNA .12 and it ran great afterwards.
