would servos be the problem????

[bigcam406]

I just re and re'd a new Spektrum MR2000 receiver with a DXS2E transmitter into my Fastech nitro.i followed the instructions to bind it properly,it seemed to bind,as the receiver light went solid.i then tried to use the throttle and steering,but they wouldn't work.the last time I used the boat,i flipped it in choppy water and the bottom half of the boat was submerged for approx. 10 minutes before I could rescue it.at that time,the boat had the original 27mhz radio system in it,hence the replacement.are the servos screwed as well,as the steering servo cant be moved,and the throttle isn't responding to the transmitter,even though I can move it manually.also,is there a difference in the type of servos used for 2.4 ghz vs. the 27 MHz am system? thanks in advance.

If you didn't prep the servos beforehand for getting wet, and/or you didn't take them apart and service them right after you took it from the water, then yeah, they're probably done.

The servos could be gone, but it is possible that the connectors are corroded. You can try to clean them off and see if it helps.

This post made my head hurt. I found the post very hard to read, I think I started it four or five times before I managed to reach the end. Please put some more spaces in, you have spaces between your words so I know the space bar on your keyboard works. You need to put a single space after a comma and preferably a double space (for grammatical correctness) but at least a single space (for legibility) after a fullstop/period. The first letter of a new sentence following a fullstop/period should be a capital letter not lower case. If you do these simple things more people will read you post, and less of them that do will think you are a lazy punk that is not worth responding to so you will get more of the help that you need for your boat, rather than punks like me trying to help you with your grammar.

I don't know what you meant by "re and re'd". I don't know the Spektrum system and its arming protocol, or whether the MR2000 is compatible with the DXS2E (not all Spektrum transmitters are compatible with the marine receivers).

The servos may well be screwed as well, moving servos with the output horn is not recommended as it puts high stress on small gears that would not normally be stressed that highly in use, but if it is seized solid then it is screwed, if you can move it it may or may not be screwed. Servos certainly do not like getting wet and if left wet for any great period of time will normally die. There are electronics inside with small low pitch chips and pins that are easy to short and quick to oxidise, motor and gear bearings that size can not take much in the way of contamination either. If they do get wet unplug them immediately, take them apart as soon as is practicable (not at the lake or you will nose one of the tiny parts) rinse with fresh water, blow as much water out as you can, dip in alcohol or spray with water dispersant, blow out again, oil/grease all bearings and leave to dry thoroughly for several days, then rebuild. Keeping water away from the servos is the best idea either with a watertight canopy on electrics, or a watertight radio box for glow/nitro/petrol/gas boats. Water will almost inevitably find its way to your servo/s at some point, whether through a blown water line, crash and hull breach, sloppy tape job, snapped driveshaft, torn pushrod bellows, etc, so I believe a sealed hull is not enough and I always water resist my servos (how-to guide), but Hitec and Traxxas make water resistant servos if you don't want to do it yourself, and I'm sure if Futaba, JR/spectrum and savox don't have them out already they will do soon.

There are advantages in resolution to 35/40/70mhz FM PCM and many 2.4ghz radios that you wont see with analogue servos and you need digital to take advantage of, but old analogue servos should still work just as well as they did on AM or FM PPM.

as far as the grammar,its the way ive typed since high school 30 yrs ago.you are the only one who has ever commented on my posting skills,im sorry you had a hard time reading it.im far from a lazy punk.as for the answers,thanks,im going to replace the servos to see if that is the culprit. re and re'd is a slang term for REMOVE and REPLACE.as far as the compatability of the receiver and transmitter,they are fully compatable.thanks to those that have answered.
