A nice easy solution is I is blu-tac it's good for squishing round the wires and pulls away cleanly. The main things to waterproof are around the plugs on the receiver and the motor wires and sensor lead. Have never really waterproofed an esc although I guess you could blu-tac that up to.
Personally I use a mixture of blu-tac and waterproof grease like Dow Conring DC4. I find the grease much better on things like the sensor wire where the connection is fine and a bit more exposed to the elements.
On a rear motor 2wd I also tend to sticky a piece of lexan to the rear wishbones infront of the motor to reduce the amount of mud getting sprayed onto the motor, just make sure it doesn't catch as your suspension moves up and down.
Oh and seal up any holes on the shell, you'll always get some water in, but hopefully it will run straight out the back of the car. Pop over and and see me in the morning if you want a hand as I've already waterproofed mine. Best advice is to avoid standing water, even if it means going off line by a few car widths!!
