T-maxx 2.5, does anyone know if my servos are waterproof? I've seen that some people plasti dip theirs, but i thought all servos where water proof.
 
No they are not.

Only the new blue Traxxas servos are supposedly water proof.

Nope. A lot of higher end servos are water/dust resistent as they use o-rings on the screws that hold the servo together, o-rings around the case parts and an o-ring on the inside for the output shaft.

The hitec 985MG is like the above. It's what I use for throttle/brake servos on 2 of my trucks just to help give me better peace of mind when running in damp conditions.
