Get some balloons/zip tie...easiest way for the servo and receiver...I've also read people pack their servo full with dielectric grease...as for esc, for temporary run in snow and rain I just took some clear plastic shell from packaging etc and covered it...

Poke a tiny hole in the balloon, take off the arm and stretch hole over the output shaft. Or just pack it with dielectric on the circuits and gear grease in the gears, thenjam a greased o-ring over the output and install horn. Your choice! Shield the ESC with lexan or something, or if ya might swim (safety first  ), balloon it, ziptie (2-3) and grease in the neck, just watch your temps. Don't forget the reciever and liquid electrical tape on all exposed connections for good measure Hope that helps! |
