Could be a couple of things..

The drivetrain could be binding from mud and possible corriosion from water, which makes the motor work harder, which leads to shorter runtimes.

Batteries are not typically waterproof. However, I think you would have had a short circut and possibly a fire if there was water damage to your batteries.

I would check the drivetrain for binding and clean it up. Mud is alot of fun to drive in, but requires alot of cleanup afterwords.
