    Need help with new barbwire electronics

    So I had the barbwire out at the beach today. Was great until a dog grabbed the boat when I beached it and ripped the hatch off and dropping it in the saltwater.

    Now EVERYTHING is destroyed. Awesome.

    Can you guys please help me out on what I should get?
    I want a better than stock esc and servo and tx/rx. I dont want it to break the bank though.

    Any input will help

    Thanks

      The stock componnents we put in there work great! I personally would install an Airtronics servo and rcvr/radio, and possibly a small hobbywing esc if I was trying to upgrade.
      The motor is money, I wouldn't change it. Perfect for that little bugger..

        I installed a small Traxxas waterproof servo in mine as my stock servo fried as soon as it got wet. Worked great since. Also tried putting in a seaking 35A esc which worked great but I'm going to keep it as a spare until the stock fries. As for the motor, the stock probably really it's the best for it. Tx/rx is up to you, flysky works great and is cheap, supposedly waterproof Rx out of the box. I sprayed mine with never wet to be safe though.

              Next question same thread. I have a Barbwire. I want to get another boat. Will a HK Turnigy 3XS transmitter work with the receiver in the Atomic boat?

                I believe it was the Traxxas 2080 waterproof micro servo. Works great still!
