Is this motor waterproof?

Yes in fact they suggest you break them in by running them in distilled water. But not under a load.

yes it is water proof but this motor does not last very long, in one year i when threw four of these motors before i when with a brush less motor

Its a brushed motor no need to water proof just like don't leave it in a river and it won't rust

This is two different types of motors the brushless is quit a bit faster almost to fast for some one who doesn't not have experience driving rc cars. Also, brushed is waterproof whereas brushless is not. So water puddles, snow, and rain are not good ideas for this brushless, some brushless are waterproof but this is a castle motor and is not. I have the brushed version and it is a blast and for the price difference I believe is a better deal!! I hope this helps

It will run, but salt water is very corrosive. Unless it is built from or coated with material that resists corrosion, every part of the motor that comes in contact with salt water or salt air will be affected. A motor that would otherwise last for a decade could be worthless after a single season in salt water.

Yes it's waterproof. It does fine in rain and such. You planning to scuba with it?

It is a great generic trolling motor, like the big brands. Will the paint and finish last more than a short while in Salt water... Probably no.. But not many will - unless they say they will - and then they still might not. not. Mine is left outside on my boat (fresh water) in the rain and sun and not much problem. I do not want to bring it in and out. Too much work. Otherwise, great so far....

2WD and not waterproof. The motor is not completely enclosed, but it probably could be run in a shower, but I won't want to run it thru a puddle too deep. It's a great truck.

It is a great fan, but no: it is not waterproof. I would not recommend using it where it will be splashed, rained upon, etc.

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

I don't believe it is waterproof. It can probably handle getting splashed with water but not immersed.

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P

I would not use this where the motor is directly exposed to rain. Where the motor is sheltered from the rain, it works well.

I would say no way. Water will ruin the motor. I live on a hill and used a garden hose to drain the pool.

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,

No...I don't think so...the motor is not enclosed and we have never submerged it...

If it is the service version 2 or sv2 no it isn't but the service version 3 or sv3 is now waterproof look for part or item #. I bought system awhile ago accidentally fell in water fried the esc and had to buy sv3 esc to match the motor same esc special kind of motor. I have 3800,4600,& the mamba monster for my trucks love they're products. Go castle

It's very fast for the price ... not waterproof but is water resistant. We've driven it in the rain and through mud puddles without any issues. Just clean it up, charge the batteries and go at it again. Ours has performed very well - regardless of the weather and a few wrecks.
