Replacement boat for Spartan drivetrain?????

[traeside]

hum, i thought i read somewhere people were sending them in to be fixed. I will find the thread. I was just going to order another one while this one is out for repair. I will see if it works tonight.

well i powered it up and it smoked right away. seems like it should be covered for water damage

Sorry to hear that. But..... It's part and parcel of this hobby unfortunately. Despite my best efforts I have also killed a Seaking 180 as a result of a nasty - but spectacular - dive beneath the surface. I bet many people on this forum will have a similar story. Get another one and seal it up with a decent sealant. Now you know that the SK 180's definitely are not waterproof. I currently have 2 in two different boats and I can tell you, as soon as I find a good watertight box they fit in I'm doing it. I've sealed them up as best I can with sealant but I still get nervous......

Not sure how you will go claiming water damage on a marine esc. Warranty and r/c boat equipment usually don't go together - unless it's a clear manufacturing defect. I am willing to be proved wrong though...

yeah i was also reading where someone was sending them in for repair. was it you Make-a-Wake?

Hello, I'm pretty sure that you can get an electronics cleaner&sealer from cc racing that might bring that esc back from the dead. They've had some success with it getting receivers to work again after being dunked. I think that it's called some type of trio pack. Goodluck with it, I hope that you can get it working again.

Not sure if you can bring one back once you can smell silicone burning. Lol anyway I sent it back for repair and ordered some corrosion-X for its next swim.
