Thread Starter

today i ran my teu101bk through a whole heap of water and funilly enough, IT STOPPED WORKING.
to fix it you need to take it apart by pushing the tabs that hold it together in.
Then all you need to d is put the covers and the esc itself into a warm dry place for about half an hour.

I did the same thing to my 101BK although it went in ocean water so I had to rinse it in clean cold water and do a little light scrubbing with an old toothbrush to get all the sand and salt out before I let it air dry. Still works great afterwards!

yeah i just chucked mine in the hot water cupboard and now its dry as.
If ur smart (like me
) and learn from your mistakes then you will take steps to ensure that it doesnt happen again.
I waterproofed mine by putting a bead of hot glue around all the joins in the case and squished the glue into any othe gaps there was.
Its now totally water proof. YEAH!!
Now i can drive my car under water
LOL!!<br type="_moz" />

</div><div>I got some of my motor heatsink, cut off a little bit, flattened it out and glued it onto the crappy old one.</div><div>
</div><div>It never gets hot any more, only like 15-20 degrees celcius.</div>
