Question Need waterproof esc

Hey, I was wondering is there a good waterproof esc for brushed motors, that includes drag brakes for a reasonable price? I have the XL-5 but, there's no drag brake. B.T.W. I'm running a Tekin 35t and a Novak 55.

you can get any esc you want and fill it up with electrical grease and it will be waterproofed. i have done that on many of mine and i havent had any issues for the past 3 years. this way you wont have to have a bulky box in the way. its cheap and it works.

The Sidewinder is about as water resistant (neither the XL5 or the Sidewinder are "waterproof") as the XL5...
