I've used mine I'm the snow and when I say snow I mean the whole car, including the electrics were completely covered on the stuff and it was fine. However I wouldn't trust the ESC to be submerged, nor the motor. If you run it in the rain you'll be fine, just be sure to properly dry it when finished. On a side note, I sold my truck pretty quickly as it kept breaking quite easily as the plastic is made of glass. I would go for the JLB Cheetah instead which is almost indestructible compared to the Pirates Truck. I used my JLB Cheetah at a BMX track and it took a load of abuse before breaking some small and cheap parts. See More
