Sid, mix here, check out the pictures, it may give you some ideas on how to waterproof your rig.

The ESC is housed inside those cheap mini food boxes from japan home store. I use two covers for the esc, the one in the picture has a fan attached to it, I use this more often even when wading in water or in the rain, but for more serious deep water trailing, I just take it out and use the usual cover. The rx is housed in a waterproof box I made out of styrene plastic. As for the servo, I used silicone to cover the joints and where the wires come out, the servo horn is covered with blu tack. Baloons were used for the light battery and switch and lipo batt.







Hope this helps.
