Sure you can do simple things like ,put receivers in a balloon,and smear silicone or even vasoline in cracks in servos and stuff,event he same to ESC'S,But do a search here,and on google about water proofing rc's,Before you get some anal dodd like I did answering a post,I got motors wet never seem to have any problem with that.

Electric motors can run ENTIRELY underwater, WAY better than nitro can. Your only worry is the ESC, servos and recievers. Shove em in a balloon, tie em off, etc. You can get waterproof ESCs, but Super Roosters hold up pretty well. They have ones that are totally submergable too | |

My M-troniks esc is encased in epoxy from the factory so its totally waterproof.

Im over it,Im just bustin ballz,But anywho Yea I take my txt to the creek and i was going across semi deep water and hit this deep spot and it actually started going down the creek floating getting soaked,My receiver was covered,but my servos and and rooster esc were not protected,I pulled it out and drove it like 6 feet and it died,then like a couple days later servos worked fine,but esc never recovered,although it did work in forward only,somehow it burnt out the reverse.It was like a 100 bux,SO waterproof it
