My electric motor in my Zig Zag got wet and I ran it that way Doh, new to electric. I have been into rc Planes for 20 years or so nad rc sailboats for 2 years. Is there any thing I can spray in and on the electric motor to help it it got wet and it runs like crap now. I looked for Crossion x amd aeroplate but I live in canada and cant find it anything else I can use and where can I find it, and if I get it do I spray it on the inside of the motor and outside or what?
Thank you
Brian

im not an expert, but i think ya might wanna start shopping for a new motor. most oils r used to keep water from corroding, not to fix corroded metal.

like andrew said, u have know the dimensions of ur shaft to get a new motor. the zig-zag is a really small boat, so a 27 turn 05 stock motor is probably the best choice. then again, a ROAR motor like the p2k2 might power the boat pretty nicely, since it's so small. i would stay away from using an expensive, low-turn motor for this boat because it does not need it.
