Default Best way to waterproof my Wreckluse??

I want to take my Wreckluse in a few creeks and need to waterproof the electronics. It runs a Sidewinder ESC and has a Losi 2.4 rx, and a cheapo axial servo that I ap prolly gonna change soon. I have read and seen people dipping in the plasti dip stuff and just wondered what other people may have done before I do this since its not reversible lol. Thanks for any help

As I said I have read a bunch on this and did a ton of searches but really want more input, the plasti dip peels of meaning it wont hold up or its reversible?

There's liquid electrical tape also...it's reversable/peel-up-able....
expect your stuff to rust as well. Any nick or blemish on your chassis will rust once it hits the water if not taken care after your run...

I plastidipped my servo and put some lithium/marine grease inside. I still needt o do my esc. I put my sidewinder in a balloon and the balloon is startinf to rip.
