If the batteries have leaked into the Circuit boards then it's the Kiss of death for the system.  You won't even see the damage but it's there.

I used to see this all the time. The only way is to get it checked out professionally. You cheapest option is a secondhand Planet R/X

Even then I probably wouldn't trust it with my prized boat.


Another one here with a spare TX you can have.... I'm in the UK next week so can post it to you cheaper
