I have a Rooster/55t here been working great. havent gotten it wet at all either though, but they are water Resistant. i ll be going thru some waterproofing measures to help make sure its ok.

im gearing up to do a tuber build and will be using the Goat. which will Certainly get waterproofed before its installed.

Compared to an xl5, it may seem amazing. I have been running one for almost a year and it's good, but I want to run 3 cell now so it's soon to be outta here. It is a good esc, and you can get one in the classified's here and have enough money left for decent hand wound motor too.

for the price they arent bad at all, only real bad things are you can only go 2 cell lipo, and the brake isnt ajustable, besides that i run one on two dells and a 35t lathe and it gets the job done pretty good.
