I just got my first nitro on christmas. I am going to learn off it and run it some during the cold days this winter. Also, The engine will be replaced once it becomes springtime , so basically it will be a fresh start then. There is really nothing to rebuild as its 4 days old and Ive maintained it only by doing the after run procedures and what not. If i plop the receiver in a balloon, then put that in the reciever box, cover the edges it with electrical tape; will it be okay? Maybe over a couple of days or weeks I can pass some time by waterproofing it and replacing the stock plastic pipe with the traxxas 4485.
