Default Water in Motor!!!!

UGH!! I was driving my truck tonight (Nitro Stampede Pro .15) & Slid off the bridge into a creek!! Is there anything in particular I need to do!?! I've purged all the water from it and have it sitting up-side down to dry. Let it dry out and lube it up with WD-40?

spray wd40 in it right now. It displaces water. drain the oil out and you should be good to go. or you could take the motor apart.

The most important thing to do is make sure you radio system is alright before you drive it again.

The ol' boy started right up!! Thanx for ur help guys. Fortunately I waterproofed my electronics a few weeks back so the radios fine as well. I'm jus glad I put headlights on it otherwise I wouldn't have found it in the creek!
