Winter weather road salt...Avoid like the plague?

[krashkrieg]

Did a little weather proof snow bashing with my new FLM extended Savage Flux...
I was very leary of going on the nearby road for fear of road salt screwing stuff up.
Should I be as concerned as one would with Saltwater? My Electronics are sealed

I guess I'm asking how harsh is road salt on platic and metal parts, etc?
Especially if you can't clean her down for several hours after bashing (work parking lot with piles of snow to attack!)
