It's a device with electronics.. you could put it the receiver inside an airtight container and water will still get in there..

It's something you'll just have to live with.. :)

If you want to operate on or in water, get an r/c boat! :)

Seriously, to help prevent failures (as long as you aren't driving in standing water) on wet pavement or mud, spray down everything with WD-40, make sure your receiver box is sealed (like on a t-maxx, put a bead of automotive silicone sealant around the receiver box and then tighten), and make sure your on/off switch is protected (a good shot of WD-40 in there will help).

Good Luck
