Can you clarify? Was the truck actually submersed, or did it just get "rained on."

From what you're describing, sounds like it may have been under water, which then water would have came in through the exaughst and possibly even through the carb. Although I'm new to RC, I'm some what experienced w/ full sized 2-strokes, and I'm sorry to say it doesn't sound too good. But hay, it's RC... worst case, about a 100 bucks in parts and an hour or two to rebuild the motor... thus is why I love this hobby!!

Also, if what I mentioned is the case, you'll probably also need new servos, radio receiver, and to tear appart your tires and let the foam dry out.

you need to be more specific if you want help!!!! Why wont the motor start? What does the motor do when you try and start it? Do the servos work?
