| Dunno about warranty.... if you are not going that route...open it up, and let it air out. I've had several ESCs work fine after airing out... ofcouse, I also unplugged them ASAP. |

| It's not a good idea to clean the boards in the speedo with the cleaner as the boards have a coating on them that the cleaner can strip off & without the coating the components can & will arch to each other causing a short. The coating is called conformal coating. I do avionics repair & that is now we strip the coating from a board to replace a electronics part on a board. The best way is to let it air dry or use alcohol to clean any part of a speed control or receiver or any part of a electronic part. |

That being said, I suggest removing the ESC from the vehicle and removing the case. Clean it using a bristled brush and alcohol. While it's apart, visually inspect it for any components or spots on the PWB that look dark from a possible burn. If you see any, I suggest sending it into Novak and paying for their flat rate repair on the ESC rather than risking more damage to it by attempting to run it again. | |
