Really? I run most of cars practically underwater sometimes and have never lost a servo. Sure it's not the receiver?

Traxxas do some waterproof servos, but you can make your own fairly easily. Take it out of the casing, grease up all the holes, whack some O-rings (mine were left over from a suspension rebuild) on the shaft, and put back together, sealing with some bathroom sealant.

Not ACE/XP were they? prone to the water so ive heard.

Not sure any servo's are waterproof really unless you make your own mods as above. Splashproof maybe but not waterproof.
