 Li-po batteries and water
by: Pete

I think your brushless motor should be OK, once it's dried out properly, but the li-po pack may be damaged too much, they are very sensitive to damage, including contact with water.
If it was me, I'd play it safe and replace it with new. Charging a potentially damaged li-po pack can be very risky indeed.
