  1. Bashing
I have t-maxx 3.3 and i am wondering about what servos i should worry about shorting out if i take it in the snow?? Thanks
 
OH yea one more thing. Does it hurt the engine that snow gets on it when its hot?
 
It's definitely not a good idea. Cooling it fast will compromise longevity. Kind of like you wouldn't hose off a hot engine on a quad or dirt bike. With the body on, you should be fine. Make sure the temps stay normal and don't lean it to keep them they're. I've used tin foil wrapped around the head or a baby sock.
 
Basically you need to waterproof your servos and you need to cover your reciever with a balloon and use a zip tight at the end. I have heard that condoms work the best...then to keep the engine warm, you need to put a old sock around it.

-To waterproof your servos, you need to dip it in Plastic Dip, works the best for me
