another dumb question about water proofing
When I water proof an electric truck (traxxas rustler) do I just put the balloon on the reciever? Or do I need to cover up anything else? (speed control?)

You definitely want to protect the esc - not with a balloon, though. It'll trap heat and the balloon will melt, resulting in a really sticky mess. Tupperware works great - find a small one that fits, and leaves enough room to circulate a little air. Just drill a hole somewhere that water is least likely to get in for the wires to come through. (or get an Mtroniks esc - their waterproof)

Well...I figured out that it doesnt matter...because there is too much snow for the truck to move! LOL! I tried putting my t-maxx wheels on it, but they were too big to turn lol.
