|  How to take care of rc when going through water..?
I know the usual ballon the electronics etc...ive got a waterproof traxxas servo.. But all my bearings and screws are starting to rust... What do you guys do to help prevent or slow this down? What about all the diff/gearbox driveshafts etc are they allright to get wet? And how about saltwater? |

I use all stainless screws and fasteners. That helps. Hardened steel (drive shafts, Gears) take a little long to rust than just simple steel. Salt water will accelerate your rusting and corrosion on all materials including the aluminum. But if you give it a bath and dry it off with an air compressor, it might be OK. I like to drive on the jetties at the seashore too, i just haven't fallen in yet.

spray it down with WD-40 before and after water/mud runs.It also helps with removing the mud after the run

I always soak it with wd 40 before the run and right after the run I clean it with freshwater and dry it down with the ac compressor. I crawl along the lake and river so I always use bushings in my builds lol. take care nick |
