Remember the Sidewinder ESC is not waterproof, just water resistant. Yesterday, monday it gave off the magical smoke inside its waterproofing, not my smartest idea. No biggie though.

Ok I have a lot of pics from this weekends bashing. It was drizzling on sunday upstate, was nice on saturday but anyway I didn't think waterproofing my ESC was necessary, it wasn't but the truck...well it got muddy and dirty. It was a pain to clean off but it was fun while it lasted. The chunk from the bumper absorber has been gone for months...yeah. On that very rough terrain the dirt paws ripped it up and the truck did its first mid air backflip then frontflip in the same minute. Going up the hill at WOT(I'd say a 30* incline maybe more, 45* maybe) went up, hit the tree, drove about 5 feet up it, left the tree(gravity hehe) and did a complete backflip no damage or bad landings. Oh also that dent on the front end of the truck was the first weekend of camping season, a tree attacked my truck while it was jumping at WOT. Well anyway on the way down, hit another tree but it did a very fast front flip this time. Was definitely fun. Last picture is after I cleaned it up. The stuff on the motor was in fact dry mud, same with the ESC.
