if you are referring to the servos, they have a line of servos that are waterproof, this one being the one that had the highest torque rating so I wanted to give it a try.
Looks like it will be going back to them to check it out again along with the motor and the esc.
I do not understand how pulling the red power wire out plug of the ESC cable to the receiver will void the warranty?
You do not have to open the ESC itself to do that?
Just lift up the little lip on the connector of the receiver wire, and pull the little red cable out.
Do not power the receiver with the ESC and a seperate BEC at one time!
That will blow up your receiver, most likely.
what I am getting at is I don't want to "test" it with an out of warranty esc and say something happens due to the servo again, and whammo, more money out of pocket.
Rather test it if needed with an in warranty esc and go from there.
funny, if I kept trying to get stuff to work as I thought it was just the ESC would have been one really expensive servo. already a $200 unit now with replacing the damaged one.
