on the tmaxx 3.3 ez-start 2 electric motor is it possiable to use electrical tape to tape around the motor itsself and then use plasti dip spray to waterproof the motor without hurting it?

I dont think it'll do you any good because if any water gets into the black plastic housing where the gears are inside the EZ Start assembly, it can still get into the motor albeit slowly. I've gotten mine wet on my Rustler and as long as you blow it out when you're done, it should keep working fine. Better yet, dump that heavy cumbersome EZ Start and put a pull start on it. I don't care for the EZ Start, personally.

Ive soaked mine, and got mud in it, and its not died. I suppose you could probably find a waterproof one, you would probably need to look in a electronics catalog, or a place that sells motors. i have no idea what size it is or i could help ya out more

It is a standard brushed motor and they will run wet. They will even run submerged on a lower voltage. Some break in Brushed motors this way. They only burn out when the brushes wear out or break off or you over current them. Like trying to start an over primed engine.

If your ez start motor is getting wet then your air filter is probably getting wet too. Wait til it's dry out lol.
