Yeah, id say you messed it up timah.


From here on out until we get it figured out for you, dont plug it back in to any sort of battery.

Remove your ESC from your car and open the case up, let it air out and dry.
Did your receiver get wet as well?

[tiMaH]

okay i'll do that how much will this cost me?

Open up the esc and receiver case and spray some wd-40 on the electronics. I have saved many esc's and receivers by doing that.

 

[mtaylortank]

do i spray it all over both sides?
of the esc and radio reciever?

 

[MudSlinger33]

Yes. Once you let it sit for a day or two, blow off the extra wd-40 with an air compressor.

 

[tiMaH]

okay so i spray it all the then let it sit for a couple days then blow everything off?
