Checking for water damages to your electric rc car

by Austin

If you drive your rc car through water and it won't work first try another battery. If that doesn't work look at the wires that go into the motor from the speed control. If the parts that join them are green then you need to get new ones and replace it. Then check the speed control. This is really expensive and DO NOT expect it because it's like 50$ for some cars.

What do you mean when you say if the parts are green? I checked for rust but i don't see any but it still won't run. Is that what you mean?

starstarstar 		Let The Car Dry First
by: Daryl

Thanks for the post Austin! I would also add that you should let the car air dry completely first before trying to turn it on. You can also try using a blow dryer set at a low heat setting to speed up the process.
