RE: July 4th
I made a mistake when we were running them on the 4th, gave the controller to my girlfriend for a minute. She managed to send it into a nearby creek at full speed and it was completely submerged for a few minutes. Got it out, pulled the glowplug and a ton of water poured out of the engine. Radio is destroyed and most likely servos as well. The motor turned over fine after all the water was flushed out, oiled the hell out of it with WD40. Pulled it apart to give it a good cleaning and everything looks ok. At least the motor appears to be fine, but can't say that for the radio, what a pain
