At the end of the day you have to make your own call on the weather.
If you don't want to run in the wet then don't. And don't listen to the people who say you're soft because of it.
I know that I can't afford to replace the speedo and receiver in my cars. If other people can, or if getting one more set of scores is worth more than the cost of a speedo to them then leave them to it!
I made the mistake of running at the Batley regional last year, simply because I had driven so far I thought I should give it a try.
Thankfully my electronics survived, but I totally cooked one motor, failed to finish all but one of my races, drove home with jeans soaked up to my crotch, and had a thoroughly crap time!
So now I don't run in the wet. I race RC for fun, getting soaked to the skin and blowing stuff up is not my idea of it!
