You would want to waterproof the electronics if your gonna run through water. Search the 43094 threads that deal with waterproofing. Welcome to the hobby and have fun.

I run mine on sand all the time and never had a problem. I did put in sealed bearings just to be safe and also sand tires.

That's an antenna mount. I use a wire whip antenna and it has to sit up high enough so the coil is at the roof line so it will flex and not bend.

You can use a balloon for the rx but not the esc. The cooling fins need to be out in the air to cool. If you really want to go through water buy a water proof esc. You will still need to sel the servo though with rubber coating (dip).
