Are rc tanks waterproof

Post by Plumbguy »

I was wondering, are RC tanks waterproof? Or do you have to waterproof them yourself? It's raining outside and I want to drive it around the place!
I LOVE my HL Tiger I and Tiger II

FredtheFrench made an outstanding Sherman Duplex.... it takes a lot to waterproof a tank.... it's pretty much like building a boat... this is his build

Especially if you try and waterproof those... the German tanks have those large vents to deal with... also isolating the suspension will surely be fun ...but if you are up to it ... go for it Plumb :thumbup:

Just make sure you have fun doing it :thumbup:
