I am getting my tmaxx 4908 in a few days and i would like to know how i could make it water proof. Thank you for your time

there is no way that i know of to make a nitro r/c fully water proof, but there are a few things you can do to help it out.

-take the servos out and put a thin bead of silicone inside the case around the lip where it splits.

-seal the battery box in the same manner( this could be a pain to remove every time if it doesn't have a battery port like the revo).

-seal up the receiver box

-use a good airfilter, won't really effect waterproofness, but will let the truck run much better.

-glue your tires well to keep the foam in good shape, the water can throw them out of balance.

i know it's not alot of info, but it's all i could think of at the moment.

some of the guys use a ballon to seal up the reciever and silicon at the opening .
wd40 , does have great water displacement values
so after you run it in water. use wd 40 to displace the water
off the bearings and other metal parts. i use compressed
air to blow off dust and other debris off my trucks when i get
done running them and that would help get the water off too

lol, i've tried ballooning the servo's and reviever, but i don't have the kill to get it done.

What type of silicon do you use and does anyone have a pic of what to silicon I'm having a hard time figuring it out. I have a revo 3.3

for silicone, i would just use regular black silicone. the things i said to seal aren't in a location where fuel would get on them, so no need for special stuff. i usually use permatex ultra black
