Not a good idea since the prop motors cool themselves by pulling in outside air and there's no way to keep rain out and keep cool motors. Water will get to the motor bearings, the electronics and ....................
We thought the same thing , however you have to respect that these Motors are as you might already know designed to negotiate water and Heat.
There is a reason why motors are made of Aluminum which our designed to with stand up to 450 degree heat temps and need very little venting for less than a 30 minute flight .
The Motors our not a weak link , not in any way, but the battery is.extremely susceptible.
It only takes 4 Minutes in a pouring rain with the Mavic to get water inside the Battery Compartment without the Wet Suit , thus the reason why
we decided to make the Wet Suit for the Mavic Pro / and Mavic 2 Pro / Zoom.
Once your Battery Gets Wet , and or the Power Button absorbs any Moisture that battery is prone to swelling and failure.
You can test this by running your battery under the Water Tap just a few seconds , once you see that battery flash its been compromised and will never be the same.
So you can run those motors all day long but that battery is tricky.
