im with crazyjr above, even if i owned waterproof electronics i would not run in the rain. nevermind destroying a speedo, how about destroying bearings and other pricey important componets with the water? sure you could disassemble the entire car and drown it in WD but why?

Same reason I dont have a problem sending my flux off a ramp at 50mph. FUN!!! I expect to have to fix or repair daily. Other reason is that we only have about 3 months of the year when its not wet to some degree - need a rig to run when I dont want to put the high end stuff in the moisture.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES

Should have gotten a Ford then, Sorry couldn't resist. But i do not run my stuff in the wet

EDIT; I'm a dodge man myself, wish i had a diesel


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

understandable, lucky enough to be livin and workin in sunny so-cal right now. most people here dont really know what rain is, although every so often we get a decent shower, so we dont really think about it. really wish i had more time for "fun". dark when i leave and dark when i get home usually. on top of that, pretty much guarenteed to have your stuff ran over or stolen where im at now. not to say there arent good people here in compton, but it only takes one....
