Take a look in the 1/18 mod topic it has how to put a hg servo and esc into a nylint. Also maybe a search on waterproofing but I don't know about that one.

Ok after looking around it looks like you need to seal the vent holes in the axles with something like silcone and you need to find a way to keep the board dry. Someone put it into a tuppaware bowl and then sealed the how where the wires came out. Maybe this will help some.

The vents obviously serve a purpose though, so watch out for overheating and such if you seal them.

For waterproofing use liquid electrical tape from Star Brite. Brush it on and let it dry.
