|  AE-2...Waterproof?
Hey guys, I just got my Honcho TR with the 2.4, AE-2 ESC and AE-2 servo....I did a search but didnt find what I was after which is; Is the servo and ESC waterproof from the factory? They show a Wraith RTR with the same gear going through water/snow so I'm assuming they're waterproof but I dont have the balls to attempt it until I know lol. I just dont wanna smoke a brand new setup.

No they are definitely not waterproof, you will have to waterproof both the servo and ESC yourself.

I was affraid of that lol. Plasti-dip and marine grease...here I come! Ya'll know if the balloon method will make the esc get too hot? I've heard of some people using the balloon but man...I'm leary on that. I've also seen some plastic boxes being used so that may be the route I go....

If I ever make a scaler I will be doing the epoxy mold method myself.

I havnt quite decided yet, but I have a xl-5 and titan 12t in my daughters slash so I may just swap everything around. Shes only 5 so the 27T will....ok...should be plenty for her. I ran my stock setuo today and ran through water...so far so good. Dont get me wrong, I didnt flat out toss my truck in a pool but I did submerge it quite a few times with no issues. I still wanna make sure Im 100% waterproof in case I decide to do something really dumb....

They will run underwater actually. But if you hit the water when the ESC is hot it will destroy it.
