RE: how do you water proof ur car?
On the Evader I ran last winter I didn't do a thing to[X(] I just blasted all the snow and water off with my air compresser right after I brought it in and set it upside down by a air vent from the furnace, so far so good . however I did not run it on roads that had been salted. If you do that go all the way to protect all the goodies and be ready to replace berarings and other metal stuff in the spring

DO NOT RUN THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR IN THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will mess up the motor and esc if EITHER one of them get wet. Yep if that motor gets wet then I hoe your prepared to toss out enough money to get another one because it will mess it up. Luckily 45mph pede told me this because I was about to do it and then in the manual it clearly states to keep the motor dry and to not let it get wet. If you run it in the snow you WILL mess it up. Brushed motors + water = fine but brushless + water = bad.

it's the wires
if you take enough time to coat everything in that can with something waterproof then you CAN run it in the snow
Sensorless motors that are of high quality (Lehners) are already coated
