And im going to say that the mamba max is not waterproof either, i recently took to apart to get the size down a little more and there is no weather proofing, just 2 screws that holds the board to the case, also the usb plug in to access the castle link software is open with an open board inside.

I've had my mamba max for about 3 years and it's been through rain, puddles and snow and still going strong...

It has a coating on the circuit board from the factory but I would not exactly call it water proof either. And yes, I consider it luck..!

When my Axial SCX10 fell in a water filled pot hole it fried my Mamba Max Pro.

Iv'e always thought that it's not being under water that fries the esc, it's hitting the water with a hot esc that toast it, I may be wrong.
