i too used to use the chatroom alot, i kinda miss them days maybe i should start opening it up again. some great ideas were formulated in there.

Welcome to the club. love what you've done with the beetle. if ever you feel the need to for a full membership be sure to check out the bug heads sig.

as a short answer, no the vxl is not waterproof.
Very few brushless set-ups are. maybe try a marine brushless motor/esc (for boats etc)

You can on the other hand break in a brushed motor in water, but that defeats the purpose of running brushless then!

No my showroom is in no way complete as to what i have in real life.
This is down to a few things really,
1, I like to show things that hope people find intresting or get inspired by
2, there's only so much of a "nib" kit boxs you can show
3, there's stuff thats been hidden away for so long even i've forgotten where it's gone
4, i dont have anything i would call "super rare"
5, yes im alittle lazy
6, some of it's been nicked!
