Re: Water Proofing Electronics So, If I want to run in water that prob up to where you cant see tires anymore, will packing dielectric grease until it ooz out in the case would be good enough? I'm not plan on blast through the water either... |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics Liquipel just seen video of iPhone dipped in water with no case. Apparently you gotta send in electronics but it's a possible solution for future waterproofing. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics I regularly submerge my SCX and my method of choice is to pack the cases full of dielectric grease. A little messy to apply, but very effective and cheap. It's never let me down. I fill the gear side of my servos with Lucas Red and Tacky. The fine tolerances of the servo gears don't like the added resistance of the dielectric grease. It slows them down and makes them run hot. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics I have found that spraying the whole esc/receiver/servo with a waterproof paint. That can be general spray paint or model paint. I completely submerge my rigs and the paint holds. I also have found that using Epoxy or Hotglue the cover the whole esc up also works pretty well. |

Re: Water Proofing Electronics conformal coating on circuit boards, dielectic grease to fill voids, corrosion x on moving parts like brushless sensors and servo pots, seal everything up with plasti-dip or liquid e-tape. |
this thread will come in handy when i get my scx 10, who knows i might try some of these methods on my trekker while im waiting for it to get here |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics I just took my xr10 river crawling on Friday. I dipped the ESCs and BEC in corrosionx, and filled all the servo gaps with silicone dielectric grease. It performed perfectly! The only problem I had was after turning upside down while going up a fish ladder. Water must have gotten into the "waterproof" receiver box because as soon as I flipped the truck over, everything shut down. To fix it, I opened up the receiver, blew out the water with compressed air and sprayed the inside with corrosionx. That restored full operation. I hadn't dipped the receiver in corrosionx because it was inside a waterproof box. I'd recommend dipping your receiver in corrosionx too, even if it is encased in a waterproof box. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics apparently its not a water proof box if you have water in it:shock: |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics Right. Today's take away: if it says it's waterproof, waterproof it before using in water. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics anybody used one of these scaler fuel cell boxes by Dinky? How well do they seal and can they be dipped or rtv'd to waterproof? Fuel Cell (Black) |

I am sure they can be, but then you would have to cut it apart to get to your stuff. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics I'm thinking about ordering a spray bottle of Corrosion X. It doesn't look like you can order the Liquipel for your own application. |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics Take a look at my rig and tell me if I'm safe. Especially the battery.. It's a Nimh I believe because I'm still using the old axial system before they turn over to 2.4ghz. I plan to pack the servo along with smallest o-ring I can find for the horn, Rx, ESC with dielectric grease and was wondering about the battery. Put dielectric grease in the connectors? Also, my on and off switch will be cut off and two wires will be tied together to complete the circuit. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a9/...06/mywork2.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a9/...ubechassis.jpg Speaking of dielectric grease, is this what I need to buy? http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics rock crawlers don't really need to be water proofed like scalers need it........bob .... |
Re: Water Proofing Electronics Well, there's some mini water falls around here that has nice rocks to crawl on along the way.. |

Re: Water Proofing Electronics Why do they make all the waterproof ones that god awful color! |
