    Bad blow-over

    I tried running 5s yesterday on MG with an X642. I have a Rx pack and Kintec offset rudder. Well......got her up to about 35 mph and hit the throttle and she leaped off the water like a bullet and flipped breaking my canopy which is being fixe. The boat filled up with water and I got it back in only a couple of minutes. I got the water out and dried everything off with a little CRC and a hair dryer. The motor and ESC seem fine. When I plug the Rx pack in to the receiver, the rudder servo moves under it's own power sometimes left or right and sometimes it just vibrates. It's doing it less all the time maybe the Rx is drying out because I tried a new servo and as soon as it was powered up it started to vibrate. Any suggestions? It seems to be the Rx and not the servo.

      try dropping the servo in some rice.. and be careful b/c if there is any water in there at all and u turn it on thats what kills it. if theres water but no electricity then nothing happens. So try to keep the testing to a minimal until its all the dry.
