well to start you should waterproof the receiver, a balloon works well, then the servos. i would highly recommend keeping the body on and when finished dry everything real well. i wouldnt go too fast. spin outs at high speed= replacement parts $$$ dont go through to many huge puddle..
it stalled my engine with the quick stop and drastic change in temperature. i wonder if thats normal??? i kno some there are some good sites out ther tho

Yah if your engine gets really hot then a puddle sudeenly cools it down you can crack the engine. Just make sure all your servos are sealed and no electronics can get wet. When you dry everything off, use a hair dryer for best results.
