Hey...My little bro has a Traxxas Emaxx(electric) and It wont start...When u press the throttle a light on the speed control makes a noise and shines red...there are two lights...LED and SET and the LED is lit up.now just yesterday we drove it through a little couple puddles....could this be affecting anything on the electric side?....Thanks

any water even if its jus like a drop and its gets on the evx its gonna mess it up the evx is very sensitive to water . you might want to reset the esc . if it goes forward and a green light is on it is good but if it doesnt you should call traxxas

If any water at all got into the electronics they are shot! I sugest buying a new whatever it is that got water in it! The seals should be water tight and ok to go throuhg little ones (that is if they were little ones you are talking about!) But i would just buy a new electric start or whatever it is if I were you.
