One puddle too many

[RCDad]

My T3 is not liking me right now, it went through a puddle and then careened off on its own. Now when you turn it on everything is going haywire (and gets hot). I'm hoping after it sits and completely dries out it will be ok.

Got pictures though

Take out all the electronics and put a hair dryer to it. When I ran my savage in when it was wet out, my failsafe got super wet and quit working. I just pulled the electronics out and hair dried it and it worked fine.

I set my hornet over the heater vent in the house, I'd guess a hair dryer would be nearly the same.

Dry it out, then water proof the poor thing. Since your now running electric, it's probably a little more sensitive to water than the nitro rigs were. By sensitive, your now running high current draw and it can arc through water easier than the lower current receiver packs on nitro rigs... although, when it does happen on a nitro rig, it rarely turns on the breaks. Kind of like the buttered side of bread always lands face down. Wet nitro always goes haywire and runs WOT.

Hahah You are sooo Right... with nitros they rarely ever break when idling. When they do break it's never only turns left, the breaks are stuck, or some other stalling thing. It's always WOT and all wheels spinining.
