what kind of connectors?

i'd be wary of bullets, maybe put a coat of dielectric grease on them so water can't get to them. or bag it.</p>

Does the stock esc have a low voltage cut-off that is settable to a safe point for the lipos?
If so, then just use dielectric grease on all wiring connectors on the battery and you should be ok.
or you could just try to waterproof the novak
