Dielectric Grease is a good one. I have used it on a lot of connections in the Jeep (1:1 scale jeep ) and i have been in water up to the headlights and still used the winch with no problems.

Wow, torredo. that was like, not helpful at all. i sudjest using the grease on the board, and wraping a water baloon around everything and cutting holes for the wheels. or some how wrap a balloon around everything. i don't know how to do that effectivly. i thing brushless motors naturally run int water, but i don't know about brushed. any motor experts know?

Well, when I want to take my truck out in the snow, I wrap saran wrap around the electronics and battery very tightly, a couple times with a hole for the antennae. It works for that purpose, but for actual water, don't bother unless you do what Donzi said.

soder a antanna extenstion wire then Plastidip the logic bord and do the same for the servo carefully cut a hole for the servo horn to come out. Only do this with crawler motors since the fets will overheat otherwise. Brushed motors run fin under water, some people break in there motors under water. I have done this with 5 trucks failed on the first two. now I can to it blind folded. Good luck.
