Well the big question is, was it waterproof when you were running it in the snow? Sounds to me like the "sizzle" could be water. I would get it dried out ASAP.

open it up and either let it dry or dab it with lint free paper towels...don't scrub...dab...happens to my RX till I wrapped it in a balloon.

Put it in a bag of rice for a day or so, the rice will absorb the moisture. If you are doing that I would get some 91% isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) and pour it on the esc to help displace any water, then stick it in a ziplock bag of rice.

Yep, and the other two ideas sound good. As long as you don't put voltage to it wet, and let it dry, you will be fine...after the rice, use a canned air to get all the rice "crap" out of there. | |
