This rc is water resistant not waterproof to much water will mess up the speed controllers

No. I have had it in axle deep water with no problems but it isn't waterproof. There are lots of YouTube videos about making it water resistant.

Not at all. The steering servo is water-resistant, but that's the only component that is remotely waterproof. That being said, you can take it in light mud or dewy grass without much issue, just watch for rust and excess water on the speed control.

Sorry no it is not. You can make it "water resistant" yourself with plasti dip. But over all a awesome truck worth the money and tons of fun for crawling.

NO, it is not completely waterproof. Check youtube and chat rooms. There is information about making waterproof.

Not at all. The servo and esc are not waterproof at all. You would also ruin your drivetrain from rust.

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

It is as far as I can tell. I have this unit on my R-1 and it has been there since February. I have left bit out in the rain, sprinkles and down pours. I have also ridden many times with it on in the rain.. I have not had an issue with it. I also have it attached to my handlebars. I hope this helps.

Yes it is. I would recommend that if the radio is submerged or even gets wet with salt water you should gently rinse with fresh water (with battery removed) and dry when you get home.

I think it's water proof. I mounted mine on the chassis and it is working fine. Only had in use for a few weeks now.

Yes it is water proof and weather proof. Great for an off road vehicle... :-)

No, IR receiver is NOT waterproof. If your planning to use it outdoor be sure to seal it against rain, flood or direct hit of water. When you seal it, make sure the antenna is not hidden, remote signal is that strong.

Traxxas makes many great RC cars, and this is one of them. Check YouTube, it is water resistant but not waterproof. There are some cool videos about how water resistant they are. I think the box said it went up to 32 mph. My 8 and 10-year-old can control it pretty easily, but it is pretty stinking fast. The best part is if/when they break something, you can buy replacement parts for pretty cheap. You can also make upgrades because there are so many aftermarket parts out there. This is not an RC car that you would buy from a toy store. This is a hobby grade RC car. It is worth the money!!! Highly recommend. Traxxas makes many great RC cars, and this is one of them.

No. you have to buy everything. ESC, Servo, Receiver, Radio, Lights, Battery. I recommend the servo and speed to be waterproof.

Yes. The ESC on the brushless version is waterproof, but the receiver is not. I have driven mine through puddles, on wet grass, and all over in the snow and it still works fine because the receiver is not really in a location that gets wet unless the truck is completely submerged.

Unfortunately I was unable to find anything in the paperwork stating it is waterproof. The camera comes with a waterproof case that has buttons for operation, and the remote is definitely water resistant if not waterproof, it would not be effected by rain but I am not sure if it is submersible.

Perhaps it is mildly splash resistant, but I would not consider it waterproof. I would not want to dunk mine in the sink, let alone in 30 feet of water. In inclement weather, I use mine in a cloth bag with a separate PTT speaker-mike. Heat dissipation seems not to be a problem and the radio is pretty well protected from the weather. There are just too many ways to breach the seals and holes in the case. Even if the radio case were sealed (which it isn't), the battery does not seal against the radio. Do not consider it waterproof.

I use this for rudder control in an RC combat warship. Definitely waterproof as it's been on the bottom several times. Not a single glitch with my Mtroniks ESC.

the truck is waterproof however the speed controller is NOT waterproof. I've actually ran into this problem.I was just running through puddles and I short circuited my speed controller.

While rugged and weather resistant, it isn't waterproof and were it to be immersed in water, it might not function. Note this is a battery radio but it also operates on AC, so it isn't designed to be seriously wet.
