My son was rocketing his Slash around a park with my old 3s lipos. I was chasing him in the XBE across it and we both nailed a water hole. The top of the Slash's tires were almost under water. It was deep. Of course he nailed the trigger and plowed his way out and I did the same. I knew my receiver was going to be fine due to the water proof Traxxas receiver box I installed. I was just worrying about the ESC going up in flames. Anyways, I turned it off and turned it upside down for 5 minutes, plugged it back in, and ran another 30 minutes. It was fine. The ESC may not be waterproof but it's pretty dam water resistant. I opened it up when I got back to the house and the inside was dry. Just figured some XBE owner would want to know.
