Default Waterproof electronics

Would the Traxxas 23t Boat motor with a Pro Boat esc, Traxxas Waterproof servos, and a balloon over the receiver with a zip-tie and silicone. Im trying to make my crawler waterproof.

Thanx,
Tyler

you would be better off with the XL5 waterproof esc (its meant for cars so it will acually have brake) then get the reciever box off of a slash they are water proof. On the servos, look at some of the hitecs some of them are water proof

also go for a 55t rock crawler motor like the integy 55t because technically no motor is waterproof but they dont mind being wet. Just remember to check your brushes because in water they wear really quick and you should have the motor rebuild preatty often
