Check out Squirrels forum! forums.thetoyz.com This video is on how to water proof your nitro and electric RC. Both are basically the same and I included the nitro engine and difficulties that it experiences in the snow and also rain and water. The first section is on batteries where you should look at electrical contacts and seal them with eletrical tape and liquid tape or skotchguard by 3m. the receiver can use a balloon baloon and a zip tie for one method. Another is to use plastic dip and the last is pouring liquid tape on it. The motor does not need weather proofing or winterizing. The nitro engine needs a sock or foam wrapped around the head to retain heat. Servos can be sealed by plastic dip or silicone adhesive with green slime by AE around the main gear. esc’s need to have the heatsink heat sink with full metal to metal contact. picco rb .12 .15 2.5 3.3 .18 os axial lrp spec 3 .21 .20 .23 .21 .25 .26 .27 .28 .30 .32 collari trxv sirio hyper mini st revo traxxas hpi savage x ss lst lst1 lst2 2 1 aftershock gt gt2 ae associated mgt 8.0 mini mgt mmgt firestorm hellstarter warhead warhammer tower terror xxxnt xxx-nt jato stampede rustler rusty pede tmaxx t maxx s max bandit slash slayer platinum ofna buggy truggy monster truck mt hyper 7 8.5 9 mgt comp MGM lx mbx pro 4-tec crt crt.5 hyper mini mugen kyosho 777 WE MBXt ravager violator team magic hudy XXXnt XXX nt ravager violator force .32 .21 .28 sp2 wheelie vid video nitro super charger supercharger rb sc xl gt gt2 …
minus 25 out but sunny and not to much snow yet so its fun at the lake. this is a stock 23cc motor with stock extra muffled exhause with smartech bogfoot tires. i have many sets of tires and these are of the best for snow runing . it is ice under the snow and the truck still gets good traction
cann i dip my battery for my electric rc in plati dip..?
@MisterVDUB I dont see a sock melting nor has it happened to me.
for the sock thing what it the motor somehow gets to hot and melts the sock to the cooling head then what
@Rccrazer i think brushless motors are already pretty waterproof they cant do any underwater stuff but they can handle on and offroad shallow water
i was watching your video about glow plugs. i have a o.s. .18 nitro engine. i run 20% nitro. so do i run a hot glow plug in the summer and winter or just keep the plug whats in there? i dont know what kind of plug is in there now. im new at all this so i have no idea what to do or get. if u are willing to help it would be very appreciated. thanks
Im getting the ax10 rtc would I just do the same things as you do here and how do you water prof the circuit board thanks
Hi, thanks for sharing a very good video!
I have an Ezrun/Xerun 60A ESC (combo with 5.5T motor) that says ‘waterproof’ in the manual. Can this be trusted or I still have to waterproof it? Thanks man.
@Squirrelod Yes I have and it is pretty awesome. I want to do it to mine.
@zC013RA I left mine alone for standard running. If you are going under water then disconnect it.
Have you seen my underwater running video with footage under water?
I am getting the Mamba Max Pro and I am planning on waterproofing it, what do I do with the fan above the ESC?
or silocone
@34kevin34 Put a bead of hot glue over the holes or get creative.
what about the wheels? it has a little hole in the inside. the first time i got my stampede, i drove it in the rain and forgot that that was a bad idea cuz a lot of water got in the wheels. and now they are really unbalanced.
@VideoGamePlayer12 Not really
SInce the mamba max pro is 120 dollars, is there any way to waterproof it without voiding the warranty?
my nitro rc landed in a puddle of water =( what am i going to have to replace?
awsome vid
If your engine is running well it is air tight already. Just clean it after running in the wet to stop it rusting on the outside.
wd-40 would do a pretty good job
tell me more about how to waterproofing nitro enignes
would it work with novak 6.5 esc?

hey ive ben trying to log onto your forum and i dont kno the part where it asks you wht store runs the board i want to register but cant!!
can you water proof a brushless motor and other brushless equipment?

good vid but lets hope it doesnt stall in the middle coz i woudnt wanna go fetch it haha
lol i have had my trucks last doe days without breaking as long as i dont hit hard things with them .. i am runing the smallest pinion a 19 i was thinking of useing a 24/40 to go faster as i get a bit bored with the 19/48 i run on both my trucks
That’s the longest I’ve seen a Mutilator last without breaking! (I have one too) Need a smaller pinion for those big tires eh?
fun fun fun…..need to get a couple more trucks/drivers and some cones out there
