Default waterproof brushless esc and motor combos?

I'm not finding many options for waterproof brushless systems that would work In crawlers/scalers other then the traxxas setup and an 1/8 scale mamba set-up. I'm looking to build two rigs this winter one for me and one for my wife, I'm doing an scx10 wrangler unlimited for her and a wraith for me and I want both to be brushless, on 2c-3c Lipo, and waterproof. Ideas, options?

Any combo you want with some dielectric grease and liquid electrical tape.

Several good waterproofing threads on here,

I don't waterproof my stuff, but have seen a number of threads on how to do it!
May be worth looking into!

I really don't want to risk ruining expensive electronics waterproofing them myself as I am New to electric rc's. Maybe I can find a local guy that knows how to do it.

Then how about the Holmes Hobbies BRXL with a brushed motor?

That's exactly what I was thinking of for her.
