Pull electronics, shake out water, decase if "easy", pack in a container with uncooked rice. Seal the container and let rest for a few days.

Unpack & see what happens.

I have tried the rice idea on other electronic items. It has worked well for me in the past, I wish you the best with getting your crawler back in order.

Happened to me last time out, truck stuck in deep hole and then stop working, I shake all the water out from motor, turn the wheel a few time to spin the motor. then everything work again. I played with it another 15 min no problem.

Since you servo work, I am guessing your RX and servo is fine, remove your motor and dissemble and clean it. Its most likely fine, of course you can check it with another ESC or power supply. The esc, check if you have a weakness is waterproofing, the un-cooked Rice trick mentioned above works wonder. Try it.
