Make sure no wiring or battery that is too large is keeping the deck from sealing.

Some 5000 Mah will not fit properly and cause leaks.

What If ?
You Find That Water Entered The Motor Compartment:
The
first thing you would notice after water intrusion, is that the motor may not
start.
When
that happens, let the system dry out a day or so.
When
Dried out, Then turn on the Tx and plug in the
battery.
You
should hear one or two beeps from the ESC, and the steering and motor
should
react correctly when given commands. If you hear the beeps, but the board is not responding
correctly, or goes into program mode (playing a series of beeps and melodies, then you need to reprogram
the ESC. Sea instructions below.
If You
Receive no beeps from the ESC when plugged in, and assured all batteries are
charged
then it
is mostly the ESC has been Damaged, and will need
replaced.
The Electronic Speed Control (ESC) -
You Find That Your Servo Works, But Not The Motor:
Make sure the ESC connection to the receiver is with the black or brown wire set to
the outside of the receiver box
Check the Deans connections on your battery and Esc
could be a connection problem.

Reprogramming The ESC
You do this by pulling the trigger and holding it in. Next turn on the Tx, then
plug in battery.
You will hear one or two beeps, and when you do, release the trigger,
unplug battery, shut off Tx.
Then try turning on tx and plug in battery and see if operations are now
normal.
If so, you can then reprogram the Esc to the motor/battery.
Anytime the motor starts up by itself when the battery is plugged in, the
ESC needs to be reset
from the beginning .
