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.
its not a good idea to run it in the wet then ive seen to many burnt up servos and receivers from people running in the street after it rained and they get water in them. sure you could try to water proof it but its still not a good idea to do. your better off waiting for better dryer days but its up to you. hope you dont fry it cause that can happen with just a tiny amount of water
