is motor waterproof?

Brushed motors are always waterproof. In fact, one of the ways you break them in is by submerging them in water and running at speed for a period of time.

This is a completely enclosed electric motor. I do not foresee any motor maintenance.Thanks

If only one motor works, you will need to take it apart to investigate the cause. I have taken apart the boat and can tell you that the two motors are wired to the electronic board midships in its own "waterproof" compartment. A wire may have a poor solder connection or the board is damaged or has a failed component. In general it can be a variety of things, but rarely it is the motor.

I would not recommend using outside. The motor is exposed and would be a shock hazard from rain and condensation from dew. The only way to use outside safely is bringing it inside when not in use.

Yes comes with everything. And yes all the electronics are waterproof the motors arnt very good in water but are waterproof.

They are not waterproof. I have seen videos of them crashing into puddles, and creaks and still working but not completely submerged. I myself fly mine over the water alot, chasing my boat, and I assume if its lands in the river its a DONE. i use a timer to make sure i get it back to me before battery dies.

The package is fully submersible. The internal motor should not be exposed to water.

The battery case above the back wheel of the bike is durable plastic and the plug-in connection/prongs are well-protected from water, whether from rain or ground splashes. The motor on the front wheel is encased within a 5 inch metal hub and there is a weatherproof connector to the wiring that runs from the motor to the battery along the frame. I haven't ridden my Prodeco in the rain, puddles or shallow streams, but I'm not worried about a malfunction if I do. I wouldn't ride it into a lake and immerse it though.

I believe its submerge only. There are different resistances in air and water, therefore requiring different design in a motor. This says submersible, so i would take it literally.

I bought the rock crawlers as gifts a long time ago. I do remember they can go in grass that isn't real thick. I have no idea whether it's waterproof. I think it was four wheel drive.

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

I imagine so since it is used in a wet environment, but I would be concerned that the enclosure for the motor is not truly "weather tight" and exposure to prolonged moisture over time might damage the electrics. Better to ask the mfg.

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P

It will run, but salt water is very corrosive. Unless it is built from or coated with material that resists corrosion, every part of the motor that comes in contact with salt water or salt air will be affected. A motor that would otherwise last for a decade could be worthless after a single season in salt water.

Its a brushed motor no need to water proof just like don't leave it in a river and it won't rust

It is 2 wheel drive. The motor is waterproof however the speed control is not. I upgraded mine after hitting a puddle. Don't run these through water ever.

no. not entirely. the esc and receiver are waterproof. not the motor. don't go submerging it
