Hi guys… need your help. Last night I went for my usual sunset run when all of a sudden the Revolt stopped dead in the middle of the lake with no power. As I’m setting up my retrieval boat… boom! Cowl (fully taped) goes flying off and the flames are coming out of the hull. Boat takes in water and now all I see is the bow sticking straight up. Now back on land I see that the esc has fried with melted tubing and wires. I’ll be making a call to AQ on Monday but for now I have a few questions: what the heck happened, what can I learn from this, what should I inspect, is the receiver usually done with when submerged, what’s your procedure in starting over when something like this happens and what to do in getting the boat back running again. I’m fairly new to RC’s (5 months) but have 4 other boats (all non lipo running) before the Revolt. Boat is stock with no modifications (except for a replaced flex shaft from AQ). Running two Zippy’s 2S 40C 5000mah and charged using an Onyx 235. I also need some tips on what to do with the lipos. How long should I let them dry (2 or 3 days), should I charge them and see what happens, or should I toss them.
