Hitec 7950 waterproof? Does anybody know if the hitec 7950 is waterproof? I'm building a beast wraith and want it ready for anything. |

Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? Yup, just water resistant. |
Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? Is that hitec's way of saying waterproof but no warranty on water? |

Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? No. They have their water resistant servos and their water proof servos. |
Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? Got it. Can take a splash but not a dunk. Thanks. I got a nib one for 75 bucks from a friend that needed some funds. |
Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? I pulled my 7950 apart and packed it full of dielectric grease. I accidentally dunked it submerged last weekend a few times and it's still going strong. With that much $$ in a servo, I prefer to stay out of the water. |

if you want some extra protection after the gease dip it in some plasty dip its like a rubber that cures around the servo you can run under water after that "thumbsup" |

my 7950 has survived 3 drownings (truck submerged) and quit a few (hundred) G6 splashes"thumbsup" My comp rig has about the same & it's still going strong"thumbsup" I'm not saying it's OK submerge your servo, but I think its good for a splash or two:mrgreen: |

I fill my servos with dielectric grease. I've coated and sealed in the past but water still finds a way in. At least with the grease it's much harder for any intruding water to cause a problem. My rigs get wet almost every outing (the joy of living in a rainforest) but since I started using grease I've not had any more water issues. |
Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? My tip: Check the o-rings. My 7950s have survived snow bashing, several splashes and an occasional dunk.... up until the o-rings dry rotted and crumbled away. |

Re: Hitec 7950 waterproof? Motor area too, and I conformal coat the PCB (if it's not already) while I'm in there. |
