Thanks! The motors sit low (on axle) but thats OK because I know from experience that brushed electric motors can run underwater. I do it all the time with my crawler.
The chassis on the Clod sit really high so the receiver and esc sit up out of harms way, but some snow can get packed in there if you are really spinning good in some powder.
If you stick with the stock 4ws, the servo sits down a bit in the middle of the chassis, but there are plenty of options for waterproof ones out there if you just must completely sink it in 5" or deeper water. I have never had a problem with snow or mud splashing on a non waterproof servo.
