Default Water Damage

Need help with my Emaxx. It ended up in 3 feet of water. Now all that works is the steering.

I moved your last thread to Newbie, so you'd get the help you need.

Your only hope is to open all the electronics, let them dry out in a heated room, and hope that they still work...

Open the electronics cases and use a hair dryer.

Burn fingers.

Close cases.

Reconnect

Pray

Switch on.

Thank whoever you prayed to if it works.

Throw it in the bin and buy a new one if it doesn't.

Stay away from water in future or waterproof it.
