[QUOTE="slednecks1124, post: 1479067, member: 16653"] Axials website does not claim for it to be waterproof and they say they vertically mount the esc (speed control) to keep debris and water off of it so your probably screwing up the esc. The receiver is in a waterproof box but it looks like the esc is out in the open. The brushed motor should be able to withstand the water no problem, I actually break my new motors in by running them slowly submerged in a cup of water, it helps keep the brushes cool while they r seating. But if you are driving thru really muddy or gritty water the debris could be causing ur brushes to hang up and if u apply throttle and hold it when the motors not turning u will fry the motor. I'm not into scalers but Sean (wheelinjp) could probably give u some advice as to which escs are waterproof or the best way to waterproof ur electronics as he is big into scalers which constantly go thru.mud and water. Hope this helps :awesomework: [/QUOTE]
