So I crashed into a pond. TRex 550. Very little physical damage but what about the Spirit.
It was under water about 5 to 10 minutes with the battery connected of course.
How much damage can there be? And what about the rest of the electronics?

Hello,

that is very sad :(
It is hard to tell what can be damaged. The best you can do is to put all electronics on a heating system for few days.
I think that unit will work, hopefully rest too.

Thanks Tomas. I'm hoping for the best I'll post here when I know more.

Amazingly all the electronics survived. I flew 4 pack today and everything worked perfect. I initially opened up everything as much a possible and saturated them with WD40. After a few days I cleaned everything with alcohol than sprayed them with Corrosion X to prevent future problems (fingers crossed). I did the same with all the bearings.

Electronics that survived:
Spirit FBL
Hobbywing 100A V3 ESC
Align BL600MX motor
3 Align DS615 servos
1 Align DS655
2 Spektrum Sat Rx
Optipower Ultra Guard
Nanotec 6S 5000 mAh
