Has anyone "tested" wether or not the stock ESC/RX is waterproof? Or even splash/water resistant? I have an AE-5, 35t motor, WP steering servo, and 4ch TX/RX to put in my daughter's, but thought I would hold off on switching ALL of the electronics since we're coming down to a bit of a time crunch for this weekends crawl vs. my work schedule. I just know for sure she will be driving this thing in water where we are going, so if there's no info on how it holds up I would just as soon change everything so she's not sitting with a dead truck. She's super excited about her first "crawler", so the last thing I want is to be working on it while we're there!

Well, I cracked open the ESC/RX unit and it appears to have a poly conformal coating on the board and components. I will give it a proper test tomorrow afternoon and report back what I find out.
I did go ahead tonight and install the WP servo. I will say that the current steering setup is junk. The geometry is so stressed at the draglink that I am going to have to do something. I have read in one of the threads on these that the SCX10 hubs work...anyone know if this is true?

I don't think the hubs do, but the knuckles match up perfect except you will have to figure out new bearings. The SCX has much larger holes, I bought a set and tried them just haven't gotten exact measurements and found bearings yet so not sure 100% if they will work.

Did you repaint the body. Was it painted inside or outside. Looks sooo cool
