The difference is that liquid electrical tape is made to seal electrical connections. To me it is designed to be non-conductive and to go on electrical components. Plasti-dip is intended to coat things, mainly tool handles to provide a rubbery grip. I assume it is non-conductive as well or people wouldn't use it on circuit boards. So with regard to waterproofing electronics, they are functionally equivalent. I believe plasti-dip is thicker (more viscous) too. As a side note, I've never used plasti dip on my own stuff. Liquid tape works for me and I stick to it. I believe people tend to use the spray can type of plasti-dip for circuit boards, but I assume either would work. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics i am looking to make a custom electronics box to go on my honcho, (cant use the stock box for this). i would like some suggestions on making a top that is waterproof and openable. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics is there any anyone try to use Automotive UNDERCOATING for water proofing ESC and receiver? |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics So, I took apart my new Hobbywing Xerun motor today and took a picture of the sensor rings. Ive read around about waterproofing a sensored motor and all you have to do is waterproof the sensor rings. But, do i also need to waterproof the sensors themselves? Those are the sensors running up and down between the rings right? Thats what im guessing. Other people have said that they just used liquid electrical tape on the rings, but what about the sensors? I was also thinking of just dipping the whole thing in corrosion X. I can take more pics of the motor and the sensor if you want... http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/u...95/Oj26099.jpg |

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...ml#post2035339 I use liquid electrical tape to seal it, which pulls off easily enough when I need to open it. "thumbsup" http://www.noeither.com/rc/pictures/...9/DSCN7664.JPG |

Re: Water Proofing Electronics Quote:
Just dip the whole motor in corrosion X. You may want to add conformal coating on top of the sensors, but with corrosion X you may not have to. |

Re: Water Proofing Electronics I've just coated my RTR Honcho electronic parts with liquid electrical tape. The only part i've not done is the servo. It'll get done shortly. I've also filled up the enclosures with dielectric grease so it's like a double protection. i.e if the water manages to get past the grease, it can't get onto the board directly because of the tape. I'm going to use some water repellent (sp?) grease as well and silicone on the plastic outer casing of the servo and reciever box to keep water from even entering before the dielectric grease and / or liquid tape need to prove their worth. Probably OTT but if it's going to get dunked now and then you can't be too safe |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics Quote:
and then i also try to dip the reciever into the water while using it, so far so good its still working even under the water, but im not sure if can still hold for long time under the water... its hard for me to find PlastiDip and Liquid tape here in our place, sorry for my english im not good in english! thanks ! |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics 1 Attachment(s) This works outstanding"thumbsup" |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics Can you post a picture of that once it's applied and set on the board? |

Re: Water Proofing Electronics 3 Attachment(s) As product starts firming up, do your last touchups with the straw, being careful not to allow any to block connection ports, fan and sensor. A little practice and making sure all materials are clean, you should be good to go."thumbsup" Product link: http://www.ecopoxysystems.com/store.html |
