LED's are waterproof. You have to disassemble the axle housings in order to grease everything. Lipo's can go underwater without protection, however I would say to plasti-dip them. Don't worry about the connector. If you want, you can apply some dielectric grease to it.

For fresh water, yeah plastidipping the ends works to keep the terminals inside from corrosion. For salt water, just stay out of it!
