waterproof

can you water proof the t-maxx 3.3 for mudding and snow?

Yup! you can either plasti-dip your servo's or wrap them in balloons.
The boxes that cover your receiver should hold up fine to some wetness but you can run electrical tape around the edges to make doubly sure.

Do that and you should be good to go.

i agree the plasti-dip is a great idea...but i think that the balloons are a wonderful and cheap, also you wanna make sure that your air filter stays dry, a small aluminum pipe works wonderful for a snorkel, mmmm mud. have fun

The cowards way out. Spend 1$ on balloons from the dollar store. Don't buy a new servo.

tried baloons, but in the mud and muck i drive in, it leaks into it, and when its as humid as it is here, when you put a rubber balloon around anything plastic, it "sweats" and causes water to pool inside the balloon. At my LHS they are about to build a mud drag strip, and water proof servo's are to be mandatory when driving in it.

Place your recever in a balloon and back in the cover. Doing this combo as long as you keep the mill from going under water nothing wet will stop it.
