Are these remotes in a watertight case? I need one for my 4-wheeler that will still work if it gets wet and muddy.

I would recommend putting them in a ziplock bag if you're going to do it that way

I would not say they are water tight. I put mine in a Zip lock bag when working the pasture to protect it from dust &/or mud. Don't need to take it out of the bag to use it. No worries.

The question if it's waterproof is not likely. If it was mine, I would either put it in a small zip lock bag and then it would still work and stay clean or I'd put a very small bead of clear silicone sealer around the seam, but there is the issue of the button which could be covered with electrical tape. If it shorts out due to water with the battery inside you stand the risk of damage. Good luck

This does not look watertight. Its the typical small screw secured case with unsealed button. It's also a bit larger than I expected ~1.25 x 2 x .6", and has a visor clip.

I haven't submerged them, but I've been in pretty bad rain... The lights themselves seem like they'd be ok. They have rubber seals, but the wiring would need to be properly prepared.

I've had this unit completely soaked while mudding and river crossing. Yet, there is a rubber plug on top of the unit, this plug keeps water out of the unit and must be removed to connect the remote. Therefore, if the unit is submerged when trying to use it, NO, it is not proof. If you are putting the kind of money in a vehicle that will allow it to be submerged beyond the bumper, don't skimp on the winch. If you want to go Smittybilt, go with the x2o line or spend the extra $$$ for Warn.

Yes they are waterproof. I have them in front of my car where radiators are. I had them since april and when under lots of water and dirts and it functions well still. Hope it helps!

There would be no harm in using outside of water. Try changing the battery in the remote. Try looking at the remote through a camera while pressing buttons. Do you see the IR light from the camera? If yes, the remote is working, perhaps you are not hitting the sensor from where you are tyring. Either way, no harm in using this out of water that I can think of - they're just regular LED lights. Obviously, don't hook it up to an air pump if not in water.

I would not use them in a wet application do to the lack of a water tight seal on the switch.

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

regardless what some have said...the remote IS in fact waterproof to 10 feet under water according to gopro. If you use the handle under water I would rinse it with fresh water after each use to insure you dont get salt build up or sand built up inside.

I am not an expert but I think that might be little too wet for this remote. I think they make a wireless remote that is waterproof, that might be a better choice. Good luck p.s this unit is fantastic

No, it is not waterproof. The remote itself, however, is waterproof to a depth of 3 meters (10 feet). I am an underwater photographer and have experimented with a number of different configurations, none of which have worked well at depths of 30'-60'.

Not at all. The steering servo is water-resistant, but that's the only component that is remotely waterproof. That being said, you can take it in light mud or dewy grass without much issue, just watch for rust and excess water on the speed control.

I have not used it in water yet, but I do not think it is waterproof. It doesn't look like it would be waterproof, but maybe it is. The instruction booklet is silent on any waterproof capabilities regarding the remote. Check out the reviews on Amazon and you may find someone speaking to this issue.

If installed properly they are water resistant, but if water gets in the unit it will fail.The electronics are not protected.

No I do not be leave the remote is water proof. The thing just slides open and the program buttons are exposed. The only thing I would add is that you've got to remember to turn this thing off. I had to replace the batteries within the first month or so And I believe it's because I neglected to turn it off when I should have.

No, the TRD is not a water tight box. I guess the question is are u planning on driving in water?

If I understand the question correctly, I think so. My nephew dropped my other remote in water, so this one replaced my old remote. It works fine for my system as a lone remote.

Not waterproof but water resistant. Make sure you wire an in line fuse. And ground the lights to a good solid ground. I have had these lights for a few years now. Drove thru rain and some snow and they still function like they were new. No issues at all...... knock on wood
