like i have been telling everyone else, fill up your electronice with electrical grease and you will be good to go. i have been running mine through mud and water for a few years and having been doing great. plus you wont have ugly balloons and boxes in the way when you pull the body off.

when i put electrical greese in my first servo, it messed it up, it wouldnt stop spinning.. and no it wasnt the thing that was turned.

so what i do now is, put the dielectrical greese in the creases, and in the horn.. then i put two baloons around it

you must have had other issues with your servo cause i had never had any problems, my buddy does the same thing too and it works fine. i just dont like the idea of haveing a balloon, it doesnt look good and it is something else you have to mess with when you are working on your rig. everyone has their own way of doing things.
