To add to this thread, I see that Traxxas has released a waterproof receiver box for their new e-maxx. Says it's compatible with most aftermarket receivers too. |
Also the esc in the new emaxx is the marine water proof one Here is a good water proof esc with no reverse delay http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=PRB2314 |
my rig fully waterproof http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...t=44693&page=2 my rig fully waterproof full buildup and how to guide |
just curious on motors i do not know a whole lot about brushless motors and with the recent surge in availability and use are these ok in water just as the brushed motors are. |
Just do this works 100% of the time. "thumbsup" http://www.putfile.com/hitman38mod/images/157374 |
I waterproofed everything, servo, ESC, Reciever and battery, but I didn't waterproof my motor. I ran it for a good 15 minutes, then my motor smokes. I take it apart, and it looks like the brushes must have been bouncing, because the comm has premature wear on it and the copper in some places is completly gone... Help? Josh |
vary helpful"thumbsup" |
I Am A Newbie To Crawlin But A Vetran Racer Lrp And Mtronics Make An Inexpensive Line Of Waterproof Esc's And They Are Really Affordable. |
Just curious, but how is WD40 bad for a motor? It stands for "Water Displacement" and I, among a lot of other people probably have used it when you get water in your distributor cap, spark plugs. When you hydro-lock, or soak, drown your distributor. So it actually is okay for your motor, and electrics. And its not like PB blast at all. It does not have as many Penetrating Catalysts as panther piss, PB Blast. Also even PB Blast is safe to use on Electronics. Read the Label, if your not a believer. Dielectric Grease is by far the best way to go. I just use Blue RTV on all small, or big openings, and used a E-maxx receiver box to protect my ESC. Servo I just dabbed a little bit of Waterproof grease at the cog, and opened and sealed the box with RTV. Using very little, so it wouldn't come off on the other side, and get tangled in the gears. |
Balloons have always worked the best for me. I made fancy boxes and stuff in the past but they were always a pest when it came to checking something. Boxes always had some tiny little corner that would let water it. Servo's? I run tower pro's no need for that. They seem water proof to me I've had them submerged a few times zero issues. WD40? oil on electrical contacts isn't good. Not so much that it harms them but oil collects slimy crud, crud clogs brushes. Balloons are idiot proof and don't void warranties. |
I found this today while searching for some other stuff. Lots of good information so I thought I would share it. Lots of ways to waterproof servos/electronics. http://www.societyofrobots.com/actua...of_servo.shtml |

Research pays off, hahah Now I`m wondering about this. According to this, you cover EVERYTHING inside the rx, including all the plug holes for the servo/esc/crystal, am I understanding that right? It`s fine having that grease in the plugs, correct? TIA! |
anyone know if these srevos are waterproof, or if they are any good for a rock crawler like the ax10???? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBXA8&P=7 http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXH305&P=7 |

im new and was wondering if these could be used for a 55t motor, i read the description and didn't understand what it meant Thanks |
any sugestion on waterproofing traxxas evx 2 esc? i wanted to put it in a box but i need to push the button to turn it on. |
Still the best way to waterproof anything, pack the case full of dielectric grease. You will get zero water inside, it hurts nothing, and you still have access to buttons, plugs, etc. |
x2 grease works great |
