Also rtv is great for sealing the cases on the servo and holes where wires come out.

I could drive mine through a pond now if i could keep my reciever bound under more than 1' of water lol

Just make sure you get some motor cleaner and oil for the motor bearing. Motors go fast in dirty water so you have to clean them alot.
