We now got massive rains at northants and i think in much more locations, so the question is, how to prepare my Mi2 to be water proof ? :cool:

The Easy way for a Bash Car is...
To Copy what the Top Racers do, IF they run in the Wet...
Get a Aerosol Cap....
Turn upside down and put your ESC & Receiver Inside. (Personally now i would Spray a Light Spray of WD40 or Similar over them).
Now get a Balloon and Cut the End off it.
Put All the Wires throught the Neck (The bit you Blow through Normally), then Stretch the rest Over the Aerosol Cap and Pull Down to the Bottom.
Now put an Elastic Band over the Neck, spin it back and forth a couple of times, so it's nice and Tight and to get it to Seal...
Now Double Side Tape the Cap Onto the Chassis.
There you go, a Pretty Damn Good Waterproof Method...
It'll look abit Pants, but hey...
Oh and you Should put something aroung the Endbell of the Motor as well. The Problem here is, you Don't want to Fully Incase it cause of Heat Build Up etc, so you just have to use you Judgement as to what is Best...
Hope that Helps a bit mate.

With over 80 flood warnings currently in force around the UK, this is something we may all have to take more interest in. :thumbs_up:
