When it is just a light rain I use a plastic bag from a grocery/super store. If it is heavier than a light rain, I stay home...

well, generally, i use an umbrella.. Other than that.. during heavy rains, or random rain, I crouch over a bit, so my body will cover the remote. During light rain, i dont mind having the remote out uncovered.

All seem like good ideas... maybe not the umbrella as it only leaves one hand to control your truck

Looks like its made for chopper boxes but I'm sure it could be used with a pistol grip.

That air boat was awesome, never seen one. But I don't know if I would use the glove.

A plastic bag would work and is the cheapest option. But if it is raining THAT much, I would have gone home by that stage.

Actually.. Not really.. Generally, when you go crawling, you have a backpack.. I use the Waterbottle holder on the side of the backpack, and then tie the umbrella to the sholder strap to stay held up.

It works!
