Some extra protection for RX & T-Lock module:






I did also put T-Lock wires "wrong way", so first lock is off, then only rear lock, then both locks.
Now it is better to drift with only rear lock :wub:

Also i did put some silicone grease for RX-box O-ring and wire inlets, just for overprotection =)


Change stock esc & motor connectors to 6mm bullets:





I'm planing to mount Mamba Monster esc and some nice brushless motor.
Only problem is, MMM is not waterproof, maybe not water resistant at any means?
Anyway, here is my solution:

(testing with some old esc)

Get some nice box, make inlets for wires, fill that up with PURE silicone
oil, remove cooling fan, sink MMM in that oil, close the box?

So, box & oil is protecting esc from water, also it is transferring heat away...




And some playing around:

Crawling is also about fine.
But more testing....




edit:



Okay.


First i did try that XL 2800kv motor with Mamba Max (also CC-BEC), at 4S 4000mah.
I drive about 7min _very_ light bashing, then esc goes temp cutoff (newsflash?, not.)



Today i did get little box (IP66) and make rugged prototype v0.00001:










I make inlets, filled that box with PURE silicone oil, drop esc in and close the box.



I drive about 15min, very hard bashing.
The esc box was about hand warm after that, and no temp cutoff or anything else problems........


So, now i have fully waterPROOF brushless Summit.




Now i need some nice sensored motor & esc for better crawling =)
What you recommend?
