Hey,

In one of the other threads, someone mentioned waterproofing. How do you waterproof? I have a Nitro Volcano, and I live in Colorado where it snows a lot. I've taken it out a couple of times, and when I'm done I'm usually nervouse about the amount of water I see on it. So far, I just turn it upside down and take a blowdryer to it for a little while. There's got to be a better way!!! Does anyone have any suggestions? []

If you must have fun put your reciever in a balloon and make sure that you tie it closed well. Next put a piece of cheese cloth around your air filter. The cheese cloth has wax in it and will repell water. Make sure that you put some extra oil, grease, teflon based something on your bearings, and go have fun. This DOES NOT MAKE IT WATER PROOF, just a little resistant to it. Its really cool to have fun thru the puddles. Good luck and take a video if you can. There are others that will say not to do this. There are risks involved with running in water and snow if you decide to do it you will have fun, but you might need some new parts.

And other risks involved when running your engine in the cold temps. You have to lean your engine more the colder it gets, causing less oil to be ran thru the motor. That is the big reason I don't run mine in the cold temps. No need to replace a perfectly good engine just to run thru a little snow. I have 16 inches on the ground right now, and my buggies are going to stay nice and warm until spring.

You have to RICHEN your engine NOT lean it for colder temps. Also another thing is your servos need to be waterproffed. In this case you can open up the servos and pack them with dielectric grease. this will waterproof them and use the baloon or even a plastic baggie ziptied around teh receiver.
