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...
