Do I dare try? (snow)
Im sure there have been tons of threads on this, but I couldnt find any that completely answered my question.
Okay so I live in Utah, and we get tons of snow. But in between snow storms theres lots of hardpack/icy snow which looks like a complete wonderland for rc cars.
I wont be driving it in powder where snow will be getting into all the nooks and crannies. I will just be driving it on hardpack.
So my questions are:
1. Can I waterproof my electronics?
2. If so, is it hard?
3. Other than electronics, is there any other damage that can be done? Ill clean it thoroughly after every run so I shouldnt have to worry about anything other than the electronics right?

Just dry everything off when you come in and give bare steel parts (screws, tierods, etc) a quick spray with WD40 to prevent them from rusting.
