I would be afraid snow would get on stuff and then melt from the heat and then "bad stuff" to happen. Maybe seal the whole interior and then come up with a heatsink/tube/heatpipe system that uses the snow as cooling.

I know the mamba 18th scale brushless stuff is waterproof. I wonder if the Mamba Maxx and Mamba Monster maxx are waterproof?

Mamba Max is NOT waterproof. MMM is not out yet AFAIK, so who knows?

The Mamba Max has a water resistant coating according to Shawn Palmer, who is one of the higher-ups at CC. If you look closely at the heatsink, you might be able to see some of the clear coating flaking off.

That coating must be thin indeed because I cannot see any type of coating especially on the main batt and motor wires. I think I'll just keep it dry to be safe. :dft012:
