R/C Tech Forums - Leopard Hobby WP-SC8 red flashing light

Last time I ran my mini 8ight t I splashed through a puddle on accident, and nothing happened as I would expect from a waterproof esc but I avoided the water anyways after that. I brought the truck back inside and let everything dry out over the next day, and after that I set into tearing it apart to clean it, once I had it back together I plugged everything back in to make sure I put everything together the right way and noticed my fan wasn't spinning so I took it out and ordered a new one. I put the new fan in today and noticed it will twitch once and then nothing and the red light on the esc flashes. When the esc beeps for a cell count on my lipo the motor twitches with the beeps and then I get a constant flashing red light and it seems like no power is passing the esc, it also heats up noticeably as soon as it's turned on which freaks me out so I shut it down when it get warm to the touch. What's going on?
