I ended up putting liquid tape back over it, as it didn't seem to affect anything prior.

liquid tape is the way to go. I've put it on all my solder joints along with my servos and have had zero rust problems.

After reading this whole thread (yes, I read the whole thing) I think I am just going to go with the traxxas waterproof receiver box, and use a radio shack project box to mount my esc in. It's not like I am going to submerge the truck where I can't see the body, just to the bottom of the wheel wells.

Ok, I have a brushless with vent holes in the can! Am I screwed on waterproofing this thing? I have some corrosion X coming in the mail, so I plan on dipping the electronic plates in the motor in the corrosion x, should I silicone the holes shut? I realize that is for heat, so will I screw myself by doing that? Can anyone chime in on waterproofing a brushless that has vent holes in the can?

Just got finished waterproofing my new Hitec 7955. This is a fantastic reference thread for someone just starting out.

Like Yardracer said the box is a good idea. Warranty still in tac and its waterproof.

I prefer silicon because it cushions and the part can be reworked easily . Acrylic and Urethanes makes it a huge pain in the ass to resolder anything, and don't scrape off easily. dip, paint, aerosol, it doesn't really matter. I prefer brush-on for 99% of work because there is little waste, less fumes, and easier thickness control. When doing 20 or more items, dip or air delivery is fast enough to offset the waste. |

Where does a guy get conformal coating? I know I can get dielectric grease at an autoparts store.
