Default Dead servo?

Hello everybody,

I've been running my electric 8ight on Wednesday (on a wet track). At some point I noticed that it had difficulties to turn left. Now when I unplug the battery, servo just goes in one direction and refuses to go backwards. It just looks stuck, even pushing hard... Help

Ah yeah, it's a Futaba BLS451.

Nicolas

Sit it on the radiator for a good few hours and try again maybe even with the case open.

Will do but shouldn't it already be dry by now? I guess you blame humidity, right?

Water does strange things to electronics.
Don't turn it on again until it is dry.
