Steve-O2021 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Had the HPI Truggy Flux on the beach and it was quite wet , anyway, I went to change battery, fitted the new one and got lots of cell count beeps instead of just 4 and then it just shot off full throttle. All I could do was steer lol. anyway it flipped over and sat at full throttle then finally stopped and I managed to discount the pack. The ESC is Stock which is a HobbyWing but don't think it's waterproof... It was fun while it lasted lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Maybe let it dry off and try again on the bench so the car can't drive off? You might have adjusted the throttle trim by mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have adjusted the throttle trim by mistake. If it has survived can spray on wax be used to waterproof it? Eg BiltHamber as I have this in the garage - https://bilthamber.com/product/dynax-uc/ Or is there another waterproofing method (apart from getting a waterproof esc lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 stick it in a bowl of rice for a few days steve should draw out any water but salt water is a killer tbh 😥beeps and lights is a good thing imstead of dead though, like alex said could try to recalibrate it 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O2021 Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 It's still alive it seems 🙂 Now to waterproof it I've seen conformal coating used on videos, has anyone used this and is Silicone CC the one to get or is the Acrylic CC just as good? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
