I've experienced a little Offroad rain action....not the best thing in the world, gets real muddy real fast, but It's all part of racing, a new aspect that makes it fun. TC in the rain is crazy though! I'd love to do that sometime!

Theres been 2 or 3 dry meetings at my local club in the last 5 months of racing atleast once a week, wet gets real old real fast.

The LRP Q2 and Q3 (new) are waterproof, the New receiver 3500 and pro series DSM is "fuel proof" As far as the rest.. Not sure, but I sure would like to know form the guys that has done this, racing in the rain, how you feel about stand on the driver stand with your antenna up and lighting…. Talk about a lighting rod…. LOL!!!!!

X2

Be very carefull with them, I know of many many LRPQ2's that have blown up in the wet. Including 2 myslef. The distributer has replaced every one that has blown free of charge, but its not great when you buy something "waterproof" that gives up at the sight of light precipitation

Stay in ur gazebo while you laff at others blowing up expensive speedos and recivers!
