I think she's dead.  Crashing upside down in a muddy puddle is never good, and with all the electronics submerged, this can't end well.

Just about everything got wet, and/or covered in sticky mud.  All 3 motors, 2 ESC's, KK board, VTX, Tail servo, power leads.  The crash also broke 3 solder points on 1 ESC, and broke a jst connector.

Some footage came from having a keyfob camera in my mouth (not confortable), the majority is from a camcorder plugged into the 5.8Ghz receiver.
