Ron you need to learn to use the lowest quality stuff like I do.
Nearly all of my Rx's have been dunked, submerged or splashed while powered and all have survived, as for servos, well they either survive or get replaced (very rare)

Esc's are the problem :confused2:

Crawlers and water are friends as long as you like a long tear down and clean after a bog run.

Me ?......I like rocks, tree rooted areas and wood piles !:rockon2:

Thanks Simon and Lipo Power

I understand your feeling ron, but with boats I just naturally assume that water is going to get inside someday and waterproof everything with either epoxy on rx and esc's or plasti dip the servo's. The motors I spray down with corrosion X and then there isn't much to worry about when it does happen. That's what I did with my rock crawler as well along with packing the diffs and axles with grease. After all I think a rock crawler is just a boat that doesn't float well when it's around water anyway.:rockon2:

Here's a few pics of the crawler from the vid.
