All of the traxxas electronics that are BLUE are waterproof.
Traxxas servo.

Traxxas also makes a waterproof esc.

The Novak Rooster Crawler has a water resistant case.

I have the rubber balloons on 1 truck and it works great. Im using the Traxxas ESC and Servo in another without problem.

i use plasti dip. take your esc, receiver, etc. apart. dip it in plasti dip about 2 times for good measure, put the crystal back in, and put the case back on, and your GTG. or to be really safe do that, plus the balloon method.
