Default flipped the boat

Had to happen sooner or later....BJ55

Had the boat out today....flipped it for the first time. Rx and servos got wet. Ordered 2.4g setup two days ago. Guess I saw it coming. Did not sink...got it with the fishing pole. Drained the tank, new gas, cleared the lines. Motor fired up no issues....for now.

Oh yeah I have seen my BJ55 in that same position. I would run the motor for about 5 minutes to get it good and dry.

Part of it. Open the electronics and set them in a warm window or if you've got a radiator heater is perfect. Should come back to life.

Nice job on the retrieval[8D] love the fishing pole action. Ur going to like the 2.4GHz action. I use the futaba 3PK and the range is unreal. Do yourself a favor and get the EKG kill switch. Enjoy the hobby
