    The most problem is airmoisture in your servos,i even service my waterproof servos every deep fordging run ! You can seal your trucks electronics but your axels and gearbox never sealed 100%.I run every weekend in rivers and trust me gears can never be sealed 100% ,you need constant servicing too prevent rust on your bearings ,gears axellshafts.Dry warm store place is even important too dry out for the next weekend run. I think driving your truck every day is better than drive only at the weekends. Doesent waterrepelling dont harm the naturel inviroment? I grease my gears with Vaseline and Weapon oil (Balistol) .I even try change all ballbearings in too Brassbearings.

    Thank you for for the video! As usual to the point and interesting.
    Can you show what you did with the battery? For me it was always "scariest" part to fail in water.

      Thank you! I ended up tossing it, because it shorted out. If you don't just leave them submerged, getting wet and short bursts of submersion typically is fine.

    lol imma watch this later but no RC is waterproof, splash proof at best, connectors are not sealed, bearings will rust, greases gets washed out, I would be most worried about the battery shorting haha, no gaskets, seals, etc.
