I didn't do anything to both my 645MG servos and they still work fine after being submerged numerous times. I siliconed my TR2 and ballooned my reciever though.

Cool pic. I do not know if I would run a nitro into the water, bad things happen to engines when they suck in water!


I used plasti-dip on my reciever, I run an LRP waterproof speed control, and I use dielectric grease on my servo case and output.

That pic, it's run into water for a half of body and not shut down because
i'm setting my car similar thaclodking's advises.
After run, i spray every parts of a car with wd40 oil to get rid of water and to prevent corrosion damage.
This method make my car safeness and living until now.

and this below pic is my TLT extended , playing on my country.

This is why I cram as much grease as humanly possible into my axles... Keeps the water out.
