Don't know how "waterproof" you can make a CD player, but I replaced my stock
CD player with a Jensen marine AM/FM/CD, model # MCD6424RC. The circuits are
all potted and the front cover does a pretty good job of sealing out dust and
dirt infiltration, which is how my stock CD player died.

I am not sure, but I believe they sell the waterproof containers for
radios.

This is what I am wondering about Nathan. I know of relatively flat
surfaces it should have no problem but it doesn't look like it has a
lot of stretch for the wheels over big gaps and the ground clearance
is about 6 inches or so.
That's not to knock it it's just that I'm wondering about how it will
work for my needs.
Also I wonder how well it can climb hills at only 24 mph top speed. If
you run out of grunt there's no where to go.
Be nice if they upped the power and speed and gave it some
articulation.
