i was meaning more like water proof as in hitting a little puddle in a parking lot would a little sprinkle hurt it at all or driving over some snow

just wrap the esc in a balloon and it will help with the puddles and such not waterproof completely but it will be water resistant

RE: smoked my brushless esc
how well would it handle the heat in a ballon? would there be a cooling issue at all? I have a mamba 25 right now and its by far better than the tekin i have. I just reprogrammed it and wow the settins you can change are great compared to what you can change on the tekin.

if your budget will allow i would go with the micro pro although i run the sidewinder and i have had no problems at all and as far as the balloon goes i had no issues with heat at all , but i never over gear and always run a 2s lipo .

from what i have read the micro pro can handle hotter motors and more voltage again just what i have read check out www.castlecreations.com one thing i am sure of is the programability (if thats a word) of the mamba's you can set up your esc to perform exactly how you want it
