Realistically, how much water can an MMM handle?

I am so surprised no one else caught the wording above.........

I caught it, haven't heard that one before.

I would try putting it in a tupperware container and checking often to make sure it doesn't overheat. If heat is an issue then drilling holes in the bottom should let enough air flow through it to keep from getting too hot.

Well, in my experience it's a nicer version of a derogatory term. Maybe others see it differently.

8 mins?? oh lawd.. i watched it tho.. wonder if works for my MM?.. i never knew you could submerge a brushless motor.. interesting..

Hmmm I may go to town with the plasti-dip on it and also figure a way to stuff a heat sensor off the dx3s in there to keep an eye on things? It should thermal first though...

PARK IT FOR THE WINTER.

Plasti-dip is easier to find but, isn't a conformal epoxy coating the correct stuff to use?

Live a little! The waterproofed esc worked dandy, however the lipo's didn't like the cold so much! Live and learn.

What happened to your lipos? I run in the cold all the time and have never had a battery problem. My fingers freezing up is the biggest problem

Would plastic sandwich baggies and zipties be sufficient for lipo protection? Once they reach their "operating" temperature they shouldn't mind being out in the cold.

I will also need this:

If you're worried about getting them wet, I'd use a balloon and zip tie the opening. I leave my lipos indoors around 70 degrees so they're fairly warm when I start the run and usually only 80-90 degrees at the shrinkwrap by the end.
