|  Wet receiver.....is there any hope?
I submerged my rig today in a puddle that was much deeper than anticipated. I found out the hard way that my waterproof receiver box was not quite waterproof and water got in on the receiver. I pulled power as soon as I could get in it and popped the case top. As soon as I got home, I blew it out and put it in a bag of rice. What are my chances that this thing is ok tomorrow?

The light on it was blinking red when I unplugged the battery. I thought that was a better sign than no light at all. Thanks for the replies.

Depends on the receiver. I know those cheap as heck flysky ones can take a beating when it comes to water.

Put it in a small container with some dry rice. The rice will absorb the moisture.

Pulled it from the rice tonight and blasted with compressed air. Everything worked great when I plugged it in. Guess I can unwatch the receivers on eBay. Thank you all for the feedback.
