I was wondering if anybody takes any time to waterproof their Traxxas connectors. I've always wondered if a soaked battery connector could cause a short and ruin the batteries. Any suggestions are appreciated as always.
 
Your not a deans guy? Like on my scalers (if not running a bec) I just wrap electric tape tightly around the plugs seams.
 
Yeah, that would take less effort than asking about it.:) Might as well stay on the safe side. Where the wires go into the trx plugs is an easy enough place to fill up with rtv. Then only one wrap is needed to protect the seam. I'm still a little iffy about hitting the water though...;)
