I have seen people use a shower cap to keep the esc and motor dry. Since the MGM ESC's run cool, you could probably cover it without having heat issues.


as long as you keep it dry, you will be fine.

If you get the hydro version (sold here at rc-monster store) which are waterproof coated, you should be ok unless you are stuffing the ESC full of snow (then cover the ends).

If all you are looking to do is snow bash...consider the new Emaxx...it is "waterproofed" and its only $360 RTR.

soon as I enter the house from the cold... I put the electronics part of the RC toys right in front of a small electric heater, to prevent condensation
