The final plan is make the wk a better offroader with a semi scale look, also trying to use most of the stock equipment.

i just use my hose, no problem

[adam]

did you have any troubles after with ur electronics being wet?

[andres-tavares]

just let it dry, but i dont know if i fry something with the mud and the water, because the wk wasnt going to reverse :( ... i just going to let it dry with a hairdryer and see what happens ...

also iam going to protect the recivier some way from the water, because the esc already is water resistent.

They are not in any way water proof. The first day I had mine out I flipped it in a small steam and ruined all my stock stuff.

[andres-tavares]

maybe they arent water proof but today i went mudding again, and clean my wk with my hose again ... and the wk still working fine

Plastic doesnt rust...

Cool pics dude, I just havent convinced myself yet to get mine mud soaked just yet

[crawler king 17]

[andres-tavares]

-That isnt rust, where i play the gravel have that red color... maybe in a few weeks it stars rusting, and that will be no surprise after a alot mud, sand and water.
