Default Summit wont work?

I turned on my summit today and it powers up and the transmitter powers up but it won't work. No steering no motor power no gear shifting nothing.

The batteries have a full charge. Last time I used it about 2 weeks ago it worked fine. I did not get it wet or anything. Any idea on whats happening?

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks.

Fist guess would be ESC is pooched, then maybe receiver. If you have spares you'll have to do some pop and swap to see which part is the bad link. ANy lights come on or anything? If its dead like disco, then its likely your esc.

Try ro rebind your radio and go through its calibration first. 2 weeks ago it worked fine, are the batteries in the radio good?

Thanks for the replies everyone I got it working.

I opened the receiver box and inside the receiver its self was damp. I let it air dry overnight and its working now. I thought the receiver box was watertight, guess not

Should I put some dialectic grease on the receiver board?

make sure the blue gasket is not getting pinched and lightly grease that as well as where the wires go through the first water tight cover before going into the rx.a few guys were putting dry cel packs in there the little ones that come with products to remove moisture.I used vasoline on the first cover to help seal it up better, a twisted wire in there will cause a leak
