A little bit of water resistance would be nice not that I'm splashing through puddles but there's the odd time you find a little bit a water on the day after rain or after the tracks been watered
There is a basic conformal coat on the boards but "spalshing" where water can get into the ESC decently would become an issue if you continued to drive the car.
The Rx4 is however element proof and would handle most of what the Rx8 can do as well, and perhaps moving forward a better choice for you.
