Time to bust out the plasti dip ...if your familar with dj medics videos, he shows how to use plasti dip, and i believe the esc he used in video i watched was an fxr esc ....i personally use larger ballons and cut some of the neck and stretch it over the esc and same with the receiver, i then use a zap strap on the protruding wires down low on the ballon and have never had a problem. ..hope this helps

I use the Tekin RS, both are about the same size.

I would not recommend putting it in the rx box due to heat.

I used liquid tape around the case and circuit board. Leave the post exposed to allow heat to escape. I ran mine in snow and consider it splash resistant. I do not really want to test it by submerging it in water, if I do I will post it.

I actually just dipped one last night. I have run them like this and submerged the truck completely with no issues, but that is done at your own risk.
