How resistant is your average electric RCcar against mud and small puddles? Puddles of depths around an inch.
Ibought a Team CRacing TR02TB today and took it for a bit of a bash at the local track.. It was a bit wet though and I had a bit of an issue getting my second battery to work..... Iam not sure if the battery is not charged, I've unhooked the battery/turned off the ESC in the right order or accidently changed a setting on the remote (somehow?).... Worst case scenario is that I've short circuited the electrics with mud and water, but I don't think I've done that.....

usually they can take a splash or 2 m8 but stuck in water or muds a no go unless youve done some waterproofing first
plastic dip stuff works good or balloon round the esc and reciever etc dont worry bout the motor shouldnt have aproblem unless its a BL motor and not waterproof []

If any of mine do get submerged i stop and let them dry out properly saves damaging more parts then.

Hmm.. still not working. I think Imay have shorted the ESC with water..... I've taken it out and given it a good brush to get some dirt out of the PCB... Maybe it will be OKtomorrow.

I think Imight buy another one and keep this one for spares anyways..... What do you guys do, wrap the electrics in balloons/heatshrink/condoms or something??

Condoms work best, use Trojan Magnums provided you are like me and happen to have some layin around....

And what about the cabling? Just elastic band it all off at the open end?

small zipties if you can find them m8 work best
