NO clue how that much water got in there....but i had little droplets of mud water inside the case....my R+P was rusted pretty good..the grease was a real funny color.....you must have gotten lucky with the timing of your race...remember i was the first race up when it started to Rain Rain....not that trickle race 1-3 got....and you later guys got the wet sticky mud....so i can see how you would have less water and more mud.....i would assume the compressor spitting 1/2 air 1/2 rusty water probably didn't help either....i was the only one who seemed to be concerned about it and emptied that big pig of a compressor like a dozen time's over the week.
