RE: rain
sure, but be prepared to replace all of your radio gear, water will fly up from the tires if the ground is wet. also your engine may take in water, and cause damage, in essence, dont run it unless you have deep pockets.

RE: rain
i would but at any slightest little problems u get with the radio i woul stop get a waterproof failsafe and if ure car starts playing up doing sill things just turn the reciever off and ket the failsafe do its job
yes i know people will jump on my back about saying to turn the transmitter off but if you have a run away in the first place would it not be better something attached to the car that is telling it to put its brakes on when you could be giving it mixed signals through your transmitter with the reciever getting wet
remember this is just wot i do and i have had no problems so far so dont flame me

RE: rain
If you want to run it in the rain, get plastic dip or silicon and cover the servos in it and wrap a ballon around the reciever. So you dont get water in the carb, get an air filter rain shield from tower hobbies.
