Bad Luck !!

Hi Everyone
Just bought myself a new Veles 29.
Im a bit of a noobie had nitro boats 30yrs ago.
Anyway to the story
First maiden run just putting around getting the feel for the boat 3 mins in flex shaft seperated at crimp (didn't break just came apart.
I got a new shaft cruising today at speed boat flipped upside down floating around for about 15 to twenty mins, didnt tape the hatch ( left tape at home) water entered the boat lots of water.
Anyway after finally retrieving it it was beeping single beeps with green light flashing on esc.
No motor or rudder power searched everywhere I could think of to try to find the problem.
Dont know if esc is shot but funny it turns on.
Tried re binding it no good
Tried calibration no good either.
Obviously Ive stripped it out cleaned it all up but still green single flashing light and single beeping.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I have a bad feeling new esc might be on the cards.
Cheers

Its a wet radio - A friend just did this at the last club race we had. We blew out the Rx with air (air can or compressed) then gave it a shot of CorrosionX and it was back to working.
