If you don't have a waterproof ESC you can open it up and use liquid electrical tape or something similar to coat the board (easier to just buy an XL-5, they can had for cheap) for the Rx you can put in a balloon and seal that shut. Servo I'd say buy a Traxxas 2075 or just silicone the seams on yours and apply a good dab of some waterproof grease around the base of the output shaft.Ok dude, that is bad ass!!!! I have an AX10 close to the SCX10.(Im sure you know this)

Main points to be concerned with are keeping water out of/off off: Rx, ESC, Servo. Motor's can be submerged and bearings won't explode with a little water.
If you have beadlock rims then you should open them up to dry the tire foams once in awhile. That is, if crawlers have tire foam? otherwise some small holes in tread face can let water out via centrifugal force.
Like it was mentioned lube motor bearings/bushings after each wet run and same for wheel bearings.
