I think the whole "waterproof" thing is a scam. Not in the sense that it isn't true, but how much more waterproof can a lipo be than it already is? I mean, have you EVER heard of a pack failing because some kid ran his truck in the rain and water got kicked up onto the battery? Or hit a puddle and the pack got shorted out? I can see maybe if you ran the truck into a pond/the ocean and something happened, but those are extreme circumstances. AKA it's your fault. Is MA now accepting warranty claims if I want to use my R/C to sweep the leaves in the bottom of my pool??? They are waterproof, right???
