Just trying to help fellow boat modellers here.
What an ingnorant statement. YOU got the receiver wet and this one happened to short. Big woop. Suck it up. It's not JR's fault you flipped your boat and didn't waterprof your stuff good enough.
I have had Futaba receivers go bad. So do I get to say that aLL Futaba stuff is junk? Nope, I'm more mature than that. When my Futaba shorted and stoped working I didn't bother to call them. I made the mistake and therefore I was responsible.
NO radio manuf. will warranty soaked equipment.
Take personal responsibility for this one.
If the radio works perfect when it was dry and new then JR did their job. Once YOU get it wet and it stops working it isn't their fault. It's YOURS.
