I searched Youtube and this one popped up first; there were a few.

This is a cheesy one...

It is alittle self explanatory but DOES work . I have used it on my servos , the only thing I have a problem with is the fact that the servo heats up during use and then moisture gets in the motor after it cools down

I've used it and currently using it on both my mud rigs and works perfect. I use to just coat the seems and I would notice my servos would get more left turn than right due to shit getting in to the case but I followed the MEDIC Productions vid on youtube(the one I posted) and its given me 0 problems. I did this once before a while ago with a 645 and it lasted me a good year, on about 3 different rigs in mud,crap water..and when the pastidip gets thorn just rip it off the servo and the servo looks brand new, and do it over again. 2 full heavy coats should do ya according to the vid and what I did.

I just pack my servos with dielectric grease. I've never had one fail, and in case you haven't heard, there's alot of water up here in Oregon . If you Plasti Dip your servo, it's really difficult to get into the servo later if you need to. Plus it will run warmer, and may prematurely fail.
