Follow this link, it's pretty descriptive on how to waterproof your e-maxx.

[link=http://www.rcdatabase.com/serges-rc/waterproof_howto.html]waterproofing your emaxx[/link]


** Remember that waterproofing your r/c doesn't mean you can go underwater or almost submerged!! It will simply help the waterproof resistancy of your vehicle!!

Good luck!

just the shower cap? cool, someone told me i should put plastic tubin under the shower cap, buy i dont think it matters when it comes to overheating, im planing to drive in the snow, not thick snow, but like a cm (1/2 inch) of snow, sounds good though thanks!
