My monster went for a swim!

[Jonny]

Well went out for a bash sunday, check the vid [youtube]usA4l4mVpEs[/youtube]

Result = front end completely submerged under water right upto the engine, spektrum RX soaked, throttle servo soaked, hitec 5745 dry as a bone,they are sealed really well!

Well i took it all apart and dried it in the oven, after letting it warm up and turning it off and everything is working well. I consider myself very lucky!!!!!!

Funny looking back, but very stupid

That's not good, even if it's working now later those parts can´t stop work.

Hope that will not happend.

Amazing how things like rivers don't leap out of the way when the truck is coming.:boat:

Looks like you were practicing for a big jump - across the river maybe? Better luck next itme.

 

[rc_mad]

that's more than lucky :clover:


have you got the file as not on you tube because i like having video's on my fone and wondering if you could send me it ?

pm me if you do

 

[Jonny]

I'll try and get the file off my mates phone for you soon.

The gear should be ok, the RX was dried well and the servo greased up again so i think it will be fine. The biggest problem is running power through a wet pcb, that is bad and usually kills a circuit!
