Yup it is safe as long as you have things water tight. I even run my nitros in the snow as well.

PLasti dip the servos and everything.

Try using those Glad Handi covers. They look like a shower cap. Anyways, there's one size that will fit over the center tray covering the RCVR, motors and ESC.

I use Ballons to cover the servos and the rx. I have found that it works the best for me. It keeps the water out and makes it easyer to clean when done playin as well.

i put silicone glue stuff on the parts of the servo where water can potentially get in. and my battry box. this silicone stuff is awsome. when it dries it creates a water tight seal but when you want to take it of you just peel it off like a sticker. if i can i will try to post up what its called. you should be able to get it any any good hardware store.

Yes with electronic components being protected from liquids,silicone sealing servos,ESC's and receivers helps.

However I do not my RC's in the snow,they will take a pounding on dirt and spit parts but no running in snow.
