Mine sat on the shelfThis happened to a friend of mines car. He left it in the back of his truck and there must have been a lot of moisture in there with the shell closed up.
He had to go through all of the screws and all of the metal pieces. I can only imagine the electronics in the controller got wet also but there was no damage apparent damage there.
I have some metal parts without any black oxide. The spur Gear is bare metal. As long as you don't get it wet its good. Any metal in that matter. Thats why i never run on waterSo they are rusting because you burned off the black oxide coating....
Once you burn off the coating there are a few things you can do to protect the metal from oxidizing... clean it well and keep it lubed with a film of oil is the easiest bet.
You can also get what they call cold bluing for fire arms and cold blue the pieces. This is what I recommend as its the best lasting option.

Google or YouTube the process. Not hard.
You can also do the black oxide coating yourself with heat. I'd only do this with the screw heads though as you don't want to change the temper of more important parts.
Simply heat the screw heads red hot with a mini torch and dip in dirty motor oil a couple times. They will come out with a new black coating that will be just like when they were new.
I do this a ton.. love it.
