You sure you just didn't get the plug (wire) wet? Unless you dumped a gallon down the exhaust, it should be ok.

I shoot the hose down my exhaust to get it nice and clean, never had a problem like that. Id go with Scooter, and look at the plug. Thats what it sounds like to me.

i'd say more than likely you got the airfilter wet. you can't hurt it by squirting a little water in the exhaust.

lol good deal. Glad you got it sorted. Are you using the stock air filter on your Redcat? Throw up some pics of it too, I heard they looked like the Raptor.

takes a few minutes for approval once you add them. Give it a little time then theyll show up.
