Default I have problems

Okay so after I waterproofed my truck it seems like my truck is killing my batteries a lot quicker then it use to! And I'm also have a problem with something idk if it's motor or what... but before I waterproofed my truck I could go full speed in reverse then go straight to full speed forward without it hesitating but now when I do that it stops and then I have to let off the gas and then give it trigger to go forward, it's like my power gets cut
Off?

Sounds like your 'reverse type' has been changed. Post up which ESC you have and we'll tell you how to change it back.

The heat sinks (or cooling fans as I call it on the ESC) are not covered, I watched djmedic's video on how to waterproof so I know I didn't mess that up lol

It's not reversed at all it's like when I get on the gas(pulling trigger back) I go forward like normal but when I go to slam it in reverse real quick it stops and I have to let off the trigger and push forward to go to reverse... it won't go straight from drive to reverse

Find someone with a Castle Link (or buy it) and verify that all the ESC settings are where they need to be.

try redoing the setup steps in the AE2 manual. ie, turn on with full throttle, wait green led, full reverse, wait green led, neutral, wait green led.
