I been doing research on this also and heard great reviews. I use marine grease and plastic dip, but I want to incorporate this product too. A fresh re-dip wouldn't hurt, maybe after a few mud/water runs.  |

| Re: CorrosionX waterproofing
the plastic dip messed up to ae 2 escs on me.. Worked fine before. Now both busted.. Corrosion X my esc, servo and receiver set in for a good while. Forgot it was sitting in their. Truck has been in a foot of water. No problems at all.. I use Marine grease on the differentials in transmission.. Works good.. I'm thinking really all you need is corrosion X..

| Re: CorrosionX waterproofing
Which 1 should I buy? Corrosion X or Corrosion X Heavy Duty Is this all that I need for a sensored set up in my Wraith? How often should I reapply Corrosion X? |

| Re: CorrosionX waterproofing
After applying, how much dirt does this stuff attract? We have a bit of water, but tons of sand, dirt, etc. Does it leave a sticky film?

| Re: CorrosionX waterproofing
I used it inside my servo and wiped the excess of the outside. I de-cased my RX, applied the Corrosion X and then installed it in a balloon for extra protection. Same for my ESC. Kind of hard for me to say of it attracts any more dirt than normal with my set up. |

Yeah, I was hoping to get away from the balloons since we dont have a ton of water and they arent helping heat issues here in the summer. But I dont want everything caked with dust eating bearings and such in the motor either. | |

They also have 1 just for electronics. Anybody spray their sensored motor? Do I need to take the motor apart to coat the inside? Sensor port and wire, any problems with this area? I don't want to lose my motor and esc due to playing in the water. I plan on using a sensored motor or putting 1 of my castle 3800 4pole motors in 1 of my wraith's. Or should I put in my BRXL WP and my 7t puller. |

If you can't find Corrosion X and have a West Marine close by, you can also use Corrosion Block. |

| Re: CorrosionX waterproofing
I've plasti dipped a MMM before. I saw a post where somebody used epoxy to coat a decased esc. I just want the best for sealing and durability for a sensored system to be used in water from time to time with my wraith. I don't want to keep buying motors ya know. I don't mind reapplying the spray. Corrosion X I was looking on their website to purchase. bob I like your signature |

I have first hand witnessed CorrosionX applied MMP and Pro4 motors being hammered on underwater with no ill effects. |
