|  Water proof servo
Is there a good way to waterproof a servo? I have read that you can put plastic dip on it, but wount that keep the servo horn from moving? Does anyone know any other ways? |

A little PlastiDip and some dielectric grease is all it takes. Dip the servo in the PlastiDip and let dry. Cut around the output gear and seal it with some dielectric grease. Be warned that the PlastiDip is going to retain heat causing shorter lifespan for the servo. This may or may not be significant depending on how hard you normally work your servo. |

I would tape off teh servo mounts also, just to keep them flush and from breaking off due to an uneven surface cracking off a tab. dielectric grease can be picked up at an autozone in little squeeze packets on the counter cheap, I think they package it as spark plug connection protector or something along that line. GOOD investment just to keep around for electrical connections. keeps corrosion away
