get something called "Plastic Dip" and dip your servos to water proof them. I do it to my RC10GT, heres a pick after they are dipped.

hmmmm. there is an ice rink here during winter months, could be tempting. Its just starting to get cold here too, and all my hop ups are coming. Who was I kidding, like I would wait till it was warm again to drive it.... It would feel like a coons age not being able to drive my savage for a few months.
