[kevinlew211]

I burned my Schulze with my Sniper mono today, the boat crash and sunk at near 80mph, my question is what is the best way to do with this esc now? how can i send it back for them to repair? i bought it less than 4 month ago, i hope Jevmax will jump in this topic.

you can send it back bepending on how bad it is they may be able to repair it. best bet is to e-mail them they will answer and let you know how to send back

Ever had a boat crash at 80Mph and sunk without damage to the hull?

Dude that sucks, i cant help to notice that alot of guys are having problems with their Schulze ESC, are they realy that unstable or whats up?

How does a crash at 80 Mph constitute a statement that Schulze controllers are "unstable" ????

No, Schulze is perfect before its got wet, its was in water like 2 hrs before i got it in, its like 8 feets deep so too much pressure and pop the hacth open, the boat is no damaged but the hatch does, i dunno i was hit, i thought about turtle or something was flooding on top of water, the boat went to the bottom collected all the mud then pop up after about 4-5 secs, i got buoys so the boat was flooding ....haft way with the noise up and... everything got wet

Mine sat in the water once for about an hour... I took it out of the boat and placed it in my furnace vents of my house and had the fan circulate air for about 3 days solid....it worked perfectly after that. Then I coated it in 30 minute epoxy and has been trouble free for the past 2 years.

Very hard to read.

You never know, spray the esc down with some electronics cleaner, drop it in a bag of rice for a day or two to suck out the moisture and see what happens. It may come back to life. I did that with a cell phone that fell in a porta potty....talk about nasty, it sat in there for a whole night before I decided it was worth the effort to fish it out and see if it was fixable. I took it all apart and cleaned everything I could with electronics spray, put that bad boy in a bag od uncle bens rice for two days and on the third day I turned that phone on and it worked. Def worth a try in my eyes.

I am in no way affilated with Uncle Bens rice or am trying to promote this product

[Doby]

I bet you think about the porta potty everytime you make a call

I still have the blue dye on my hand

Come on Kevin tell me you have a video of this catastrophic failure , I will shot for 80mph on the last run of our year coming up soon , I feel for you my friend my Sniper is my flag ship...............................

Ray fishing a cell phone out of a toilet I applaud you for your effort , I threw mine in the way of oncoming traffic on a hi way and told my service provider to sue me for the rest of the contract , biggest piece of crap I ever subscribed to

Kevin, put the 40/160 in a oven set at 110 deg for 24 hours, Should fix the problem. Electrolisis should not have started in such a short timeTHE DALLAS RACE PICTURES ARE POSTED ON THIS SITE. DON SHUHART

I saw a 40-160 that spent less than 6 hours on the bottom of Legg Lake come up with half the metal eaten off the legs of some chips. Some pond water is severely corrosive.

What should be done after recovering a soaked ESC is to soak it again in distilled water to flush off any remaining electrolites. Not doing this will not stop corrosive galvanic action, and can cause the ESC to fail days/months later. Soak it in water, rinse it in alcohol, dry by heating with a hair dryer and don't use it again for at least a day. These things are a major investment, they need to be treated like one.
