    You trying to build a submarine?
    younwould have to seal every opening in the hull. Water tight and any shaft penetration would need very thick grease.
    Doing that it would probably float.

I know it sounds silly and probably doesn’t make any sense but after much trial and error it just looks better in my humble opinion. And yes I’m learning a lot as I go. The Abrams isn’t my ir battle tank. That’s for my merkava which runs all stock except red 390 motors.

      What can I do to make my tank waterproof?
      Water is not a big problem for anything except the MFU, battery and possibly the speaker. Seal them in some sort of waterproof "container" and you should be relatively fine. I have seen this done with something as simple as plastic bags. The motors will dry out pretty quickly and unless it's salt water you are driving in there really should be no worries about rust even in the gearboxes as long as they are well greased.

        Thanks guys and no lol not a submarine. I just enjoy the looks of tanks doing what tanks do and plenty of that involves water. I will never completely submerge my tanks. But if you watched my video I do go into shallow puddles.
