it can stand quite a it of water in stock-form. the motor may fry if the water is really dirty, but anything , short of throwing it in a river, wet is no problem. just be careful with rust, and spray the rotating parts with silicone or something before drivinmg it in the wet. |

Most of the reading and videos I have seen say the wraith is splashproof, not waterproof. But if everything fries, time to upgrade!! |

Electronics are pretty usually fine, I smoked the motor though. You need to pay attention to the bearings and such, even light water or mud. I hate mud, don't enjoy running in it at all. | |
