I brought my 1/12 Miss Bud with me this past week to run it on the lake I was camping at. At one point I needed to retrieve it so I used my cheap NQD hydro as a retrieval boat. I've done this a few times but at one point as I was bringing it in the NQD started to submerge the Miss Bud. I would say it was submerged for a few seconds (the back of the boat was completely submerged). Even though I had the electric compartment taped with clear duct tape, the electronics would not work. I thought maybe if it dried out they would work but it's been four days and I still can't get the receiver to respond to my transmitter.

I've replaced the batteries in both the boat and transmitter. When I turn the receiver on, I hear the familiar sound of the servos twitch, but I get nothing from the transmitter.

So I am wondering if my receiver/electronics need to be replaced or if there is something I can do? Thanks very much in advance for any info.

Most likely your reciever. Can try and clean it with some electric spray cleaner. Check for corrosion. Most likely have to replace it.

Okay, thanks.

Okay I tried cleaning the receiver, I took it apart, checked the battery housing, cleaned all the contact points, everything * looks * okay. So how do I know if it's the receiver? Also, does anyone know a good resource for replacement parts for the Proboat 1/12 Miss Bud?
