I have the old E-Maxx and this is what I do. Ballon servos, reciever, and ESC. For the ESC pop the heatsinks off, balloon it then push the heatsinks back on. Tape across the bottom battery slots. Put a showercap over the chassis. Be careful though because things get pretty toasty in there quickly because the heat won't escape.

i put plastic guard on my revo and warhead though its not waterproof but it helps a lot by preventing accumulation of snow and deflecting the splash...

Wax paper will make the water bead and fall off. The batteries and motors should be ok. You just gotta cover the speed controller also.
