Hi guys - I am new to the RC world - I have a Baja King and have just had a play with it and accidently drove it into a big puddle. The motor stopped working so I shut everything off and brought it home to clean everything - The motor still goes and the steering still works but when I turn it on the throttle and reverse dosen't work. I have a TEU 101BK ESC and the LED is flashing continuously. It will go in reverse for about 2 seconds and then stops. What have I done and how do I fix it?

Not familiar with the baja king or that esc but I know when an esc has been shorted out. I believe that what has happened here not sure if you can, but pull as much of the esc apart that you can and let it dry out and then put it back together again. That worked for my xl5 twice. If not time for a new one. Enjoy

Like said above let it dry out completey the 101 does like getting wet but there tough lil ESCs so it should be fine

To reset the ESC try this

trim to centre
transmitter on
car on
ESC Beeps once
press set button (½ second)
ESC continuous single flash
throttle to max forward and press button
ESC continuous double flash
throttle to max reverse and press button
ESC Stops flashing and is set up
Let us know how it goes k

Thanks to everyone foryour help. It lives again and Iama happy man - although I have no idea how that many stones got into the ECS as it is pretty sealed up.
All dry and going again.

Great, yeah the TEU101BK is a beefy unit, I've had many stop working for a bit and then wake up later.
