Default Drove into a lake...

So my hammer went for a deep swim yesterday. I let it dry upside down and it drives ok. A little squeaky but nothing a little lube won't fix. My receiver took a dump. Buy a stock one? I'm on a budget.

I hear the flysky tx/RX are great for the money I don't own one but a lot of guys talk great about them especially for budget reasons

Pouring alcohol over any part you are worried about will make it dry much faster. Wont hurt anything electric either
- a good flush then blow off with air if u have it

Really the receiver died? So much for being "water proof" hu?

Pour some Gentleman Jack over the electrics?

Yeah I plugged in the steering servo into the channel that's not working and it doesn't work either. I put the servo to another channel and it works just fine.

One thing I've always had is great customer service from them. Great ending to the story.
