shipwrecked brushless boat. lol
well myself ziggy355 and g mann went to lake promenade to run our blackjack 26 brushless boats.
g mann just bought one so it was his first time running his while i have used mine several times. i was running mine with 2s lipos and g mann was running his with nimh packs. ziggy took some video of us racing side by side in some pretty choppy water as it was pretty breezy today. after running for about 20 minutes we were doing a few more high speed passes when just my luck my boat went airborne from a wave and did a barrell roll and then landed upside down in the water . to make matters worse the top cover went flying off . needless to say the boat was too far out to jump in and retrieve it and the water was totally inside the hull. since it was so windy the waves were moving the boat along to the other side of the bay so we basically had to wait it out until it came to the other side. the top lid came to shore on the other side first and the boat was almost near the shore. then low and behold about feet from shore it does a titanic and sinks. lol ziggy waded in and scooped it out. everything was soaked pretty much, radio box, reciever , servos and also the lipos. im in the process of drying everything out with a hair dryer and then i will see if the lipos and all the electronics are toast or not. ziggy will also be posting some video of our boating escapade. later on.

re sunken lipos update
well after putting the hair dryer to both of my sunken lipos i decided to try and charge them and im happy to report they are both good to go.
i checked the voltage in both of them before charging and they both had readings over 7.5 v. score one for lipos again. i havent checked all the electronics in the radio box of my boat yet. will give it a few days to dry out. but at least the most expensive items are ok.

shipwrecked brushless boat update
well i dried all the electronics in my boat thoroughly and installed the lipos tried to turn it on but nothing works.
i guess being submerged for an hour toasted the speed control, reciever and servo. lol time to upgrade it with a hydra speed control and a neu brushless motor so i can run 4s lipos with it.
