Notice the difference in wire size between the ESC and the Leopard motor.... :blink:

Others have said that "its a boat and water gets in" but in my experience with electric boats water in the boat is no good. You can make sure that you coat the esc and other electronics in water resistant coating but I would still seal the boat water tight just in case. The other problem I found is that the FE boats are pretty heavy and if the hatch comes off and water gets in the boat may sink....even with flotation installed. Post some pics of the inside of the hull, it may be easy to make a tapable sub hatch.
