is there any risks to running rc's through the rain, puddles, or snow? obviously people do it but are there things that should be covered or anything?

Hi,

At least you need to cover the receiver with a balloon and use waterproof servos. Most high power servos for 1/10 and 1/8 nitro are waterproof. Running on snow and light rain should be fine. I am not sure if anything has to be done to the rx battery pack as I only race nitro buggies, which the receiver and battery pack are kept inside a radio box.

But one thing is that snow and rain are water, it will eventually rust up the metal/steel parts and ball bearings.

thanks guys, end yes i know that it will rust....ive ran electrics through the rain and you had to waterproof EVERYTHING talk about a hassle......and of course you have to take a cloth and dry it nice after running it so it doesnt rust, but running through rain in snow just about defines fun.


thanks for the help
