  • @WeissRC

    @WeissRC

    3 ай бұрын

    So here's my take... they *claim* that it is, but the fact of the matter is you'll have some kind of exposed pins somewhere (most likely in the aux connections). Granted it's not the "Pro scale" kit, but I have the standard light kit in my Bronco, which I have taken through creeks and whatnot... that module has absolutely gotten submerged and is very flaky today. Given those results, I would either err on the side of caution when running in higher water, or maybe even consider conformal coating. Regardless, whatever metal pins are exposed from the power module will eventually fall victim to corrosion if you run in water long enough... TL:DR, I'd avoid submerging the module as much as possible. The occasional splash here and there isn't going to hurt it. 👍👍

    No worries, certainly a fair question! You will need the max link cable if you want to pair up to the Bluetooth app... another discovery I made is that the Max link cable allows the transmission of motor data, specifically motor direction. When I went to a brushless setup, I originally didn't understand how my reverse lights were working. I would later discover it was due to the Max link cable. In short, I would use the Max link cable if at all possible! 🫡🤙
