water proofing

[concreat]

how do you water proof the servos, batterys, and the reciever.

[4x4]

you can eather sandwitch a bit of rubber eg kitchen glove or rubber band betwen the reciever lid and the reciever box.or melt a balloon over the battery pack/reciever and tape up the servo box.

(just to let you know i havent tryed it its just something me and my dad thought of)

hope it works good luck

i never waterproofed my servos just radio box so receiver doesnt get wet. then after running in snow for a bit i let it dry out inside and everything still works. been doing it for the past 3 or 4 years now with no problems

Silicone sealer, balloons, zipties, waterproof tape, (check your hobby shop for the latter, they usually sell it to seal up radio boxes for boats). Or ask the LHS for advice too. Above all, keep the receiver dry, and the servos as dry as possible, especially with metal gears. After that, any metal that's not aluminum (clutch bell, bearings, linkages, springs) dry off with compressed air after running to keep them from rusting.. Air drying is not the best idea. Worst case scenario, use high percentage rubbing alcohol (90%) or better to displace any water by pouring over any inacessable areas like the bearnings in your knuckles. It will displace the water, and not corrode or rust anything. Plus it evaporates quickly.
