Depends how wet it is.
Check out some of Jimmy's photos for just how wet it can be and we can still race 1/10th buggies. There will have been some waterproofing done for these. Generally bluetac over the receiver plugs and motor sensor cable and perhaps velcro to fix the shell to the sides of the chassis as well.
Some drivers also put a small amount of foam around the steering are to stop any excess water getting in at the most vunerable point.
The key really is to avoid the standing water. And if you don't have an undertray or if the shell doesn't fit the chassis well then don't bother - it will end in tears!
