I have an emaxx with 7 inch tall mud grips, plus the Novak 5.5 with Teken RX8 and two 2-cell lipo's running at 400 amps. Last year I ran it in snow but i did not have a video camera. Truck was fine with snow all over it and in it. I know the motor and esc are not water-proof, but they are water resistant.
@ryanrummler Its called a Tekin RX8, it takes it like a 7-cell nimh.. Never gets hot, although motor gets up to 150 which is normal. I'd really recomend mud grip tire.
@ryanrummler Oh on the novak spec sheet it also says it handles 400 amps, now its not pulling that all the time, but I'm sure it spikes to 400 amps on takeoff.
Is everyone here an idiot or what? For one thing the (new) emaxx's are 100 % waterproof. The servos, esc, are waterproof and the receiver is installed in a waterproof compartment. Here's something else for all you know it all dipshits-An engine uses some type of fuel for combustion, a motor is electric. Emaxx's don't have engines they have motors, Einsteins.
@RClife2013 Yeah, it's just the brushed version that's waterproof model #3903. To bad there's not a waterproof brush-less version. (wicked snow machine that would be)
@ Ryguycc and @ Guitarhero3rox97 actually you are both wrong ! Engine's are combustive, this is electric hints the name E(electric)-Max there for they use motors ;) fun facts lol anyways RC motors usually don't need water proofing, but Ryguy was correct that the speed controllers and servo's do. for this reason I just picked up the summit which right out of the box is completely submersible. makes cleaning it so easy i just take it to the nearest hose to rinse off mud sand and debris.
@guitarhero3rox97 no it's NOT waterproof, only the steering servos and receiver are, the engine is not. Try reading beyond the gigantic bold letters on Traxxas' website and take a look at the fine print before you make a comment.
@guitarhero3rox97 oh okay, yes I'm sure YOU know better than the people who MAKE the engine right? Come back when you've hit puberty, opened a book or two and understand a little something about electronics. Btw the speed controller is also NOT waterproof, which is actually an even bigger problem than the engine.

@quickguesswho are you trying to tell me that motor is pulling 400 amps in a monster truck? Because..... it isnt.
ryanrummler 1 year ago
@ryanrummler Monster trucks require a lot of amps to provide plenty of torque, tires I have are are a lot bigger than stock.

@quickguesswho the esc you mention is rated at 210 amps continuous

@ryanrummler you are right it is rated at 210 amps continuous, but If you call manufactor it is rated at 420 amps burst..
