Electronic Issue

[ericsarge]

When wheelin with the boys a few months back, my cousin submerged my scx that is only partially proofed. Everything was ok for a while, but about an hour later he lost all electronics. Now I'm finally tearing it apart. I initially thought it was a cooked ESC, which is water proofed. Now, The steering and lights function correctly. I have lights too, just no motor. Took the motor out and it runs when hooked to a AA batt. ESC swap, just to be sure, says its not the ESC. Is it my receiver? I still have lights on the receiver that are working properly, though, and I have other controls that work.

This is the receiver, I know its cheap, but I don't want to throw money away if it's not the problem.

plug your esc into the steering channel of the reciever and see if it does anything that will tell you if the throttle channel went bad on the reciever.
