yeah, but the fan lead is not. neither is my rx or motor. I have far too much money dumped into the revo money pit to even think about intentionally driving iit through water.

The fan broke within the first 2 minutes on the track. Same problem as before with the plug breaking off the bottom of the board. I even put extra foam padding in the bottom of the case. Ran all night with no fan and it only got up to about 160 degrees.

When I got home, I cut the grill out of the top of the ESC and put in a Novak 30mm fan powered off the receiver. Works perfectly now.
It would be nice if the fan lead was not on the bottom side where it took impact, I want to play arond with mine, but I also want to keep it's warranty intact, I have 2 MM's that had warranty voided as soon as I took them out of the box as is...
