Working Snorkel

[SpitfireBridge]

Has anyone ever made a working snorkel for a zen motor just curious would guess once water got near coil hight it would be game over anyway

I think water would be able to enter through the bearings too..... What scenario is making you want a snorkle?

was just idle curiosity as trucks like Landrover the full size one have them so was curious to know is anyone had attempted it in 5th scale

I would think you wouldn't want water in the wheel bearings, servo's, electronics box, or clutch either.
I would recommend against going down this path unless you like to spend money on all of the parts that aren't going to like water.
