hey guys...plz can anyone help me with the following questions...
1)savage 4.6 can run on water and snow?
2) if yes what should i do to prevent it from breaking and to forbid water and snow to enter the car and servos?

thank you very much
 
Put the receiver in a balloon and put a glop of RTV in the balloon neck, then ziptie the balloon around the glop to form a good seal. Get water proof/resistant servos. Get a silicone cover for the switch. Put the receiver pack in a balloon and do the same as the receiver.

For servos:
traxxas high torque for t/b: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTKL0&P=ML

Hitec 985MG for steering: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMUS4&P=ML

I still take them apart and put RTV around the pigtail to ensure a good seal. I run the 985MG's as t/b servos on all 3 of my MT's just for their water resistant properties... and they are strong/fast for $70.

You can try ballooning servos or plasti-dip'ing them, but it doesn't work well. Trust me. Spend now to save later. ;)
Avoid this!
