Well I finally took it for another one and it has been raining a fair bit lately. Motor temp was around 160F but I couldn't go flat out around the track as it was very wet in places. By the time battery was flat, the buggy was covered in mud. Never again will I be running in mud, it stuck like cement, took a few hours to fully clean. The rear end was the worst. A few of the screws also started to rust so i will be getting stainless steel screws soon. After cleaning it I decided to put the plastic mud guard on the rear. I also added front aluminum spindles.
