Unfortunately no, this particular system is not waterproof. There is a fan and heat sink on top of the speed control that would allow water direct access to the interior circuitry (plus there's no shroud around the motor wire poles). Depending on the design of your vehicle, it may require submersion to breach the top of the unit. I have mine installed on the top rail of an Arrma Fury and have had no problems at all, even running it in the recent snowstorms we've had lately. Check the seller's listing for a part number and cross reference that with Castle Creations, and also check the item reviews. As with most things the individual application may vary.

i dont think so , the motor seems pretty well sealed , but i would put the esc in a plastic box or balloon if you might get it wet, definitely would not submerge in water,

Although it's well made, I doubt that it's "waterproof". I'd say "water resistant".

It has worked very well for us. It is not protected, and we have had some rain. It is working fine. We haven't had a lot of wet weather, but enough that I can say that it seems to be waterproof.

Everything seems to be waterproof. We have ours hung in trees, unprotected outside now for months and still going strong.

It is not waterproof. The connections are subject to corrosion whether it is buried or not.

It is not waterproof as they claim. I bought six of these. Rain water enters the battery compartment and the terminals corrode. Water filled the sensor. It is trash after that happens. So they are good for as long as water has not entered them. I was very unhappy when I discovered that.

These units are not waterproof. They are sealed fairly well and might hold up as long as they don't get wet.

I'm guessing they are saying only the camera head is waterproof, but not the rest of the unit.

That crossed my mind, and I always make sure rain is not in the forecast when I put it in my window. The item is $30. So I just use my common sense -- it's an electrical appliance, and if it's product description doesn't say it's waterproof, assume it isn't. As to what happens when it gets rained on, I would rather not experiment to find out.

i have not gotten mine wet and do not believe it is "waterproof". if tkaing it on a boat I would put it in a waterproof container.

A good question!! Unfortunately I have not tested to see if it was waterproof. I am sorry.

Yes it is waterproof. The unit is encased in a heavy plastic case with substantial wiring.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

Hello McGee, Thank you for you interest in AspectSolar products. Our unit is not waterproof due to the external electrical connections. Please check back with us in the near future for new products that may be a better fit.

It has worked after getting wet but not marketed as waterproof. Try plastic, clear ziploc bag. It will not interfere with the functions.

Yes, it is waterproof. I've used it for a week, showering every day, washing dishes,etc. and it does appear to be waterproof.
