Default RE: mamba waterproof?

ORIGINAL: jeep2003

well i dont know about the motor but the esc obviously isnt waterproof not on mine anyway. i got it second hand and the ends where the wires come out the shrink wrap is open. I was thinking i can silicone the openings but i ended up just using electrical tape to tape it to the chasis and covered the ends in the process. it should keep the splashes out.
I will say this the mamba is faast i wish it wasnt raining so i can take it outside and see what it can do!
I do have one quesion about it. Is it normal for it to shudder sometimes at start up? It sounds like the gears are actually skipping but im pretty sure its the motor. Could it be because my battery is low?
The ESC IS waterproofed...you just can't see the silicone conformal coating we spray them with.

amec...
