Waterproofed my receivers

[JoeConti]

So yesterday I asked about waterproofing techniques used on receivers. Sadly, the only sellers I found ready to ship to Malta are asking $25 shipping, so I figured I'd try my "Beyu" (brand) high gloss top coat used by nail technicians on my €11 receiver and see how it goes. Looks like it is working just fine at the moment. I sunk the naked receiver board into a container with fresh water, while switched on, with a mini servo hooked up to one of the channels. I did see some bubbles coming out of the free pins of the non used channels but then I don't think it will ever be submerged like I did to it in the video. In reality the receiver is in its plastic case, and in a sealed receiver box. It usually gets damp not wet, and the dampness comes from the damp air we live in, here, that is tapped inside the receiver box, that heats up when I take the cars for a run in the sun, and suddenly dunk the cars in deep water, hence forming damp conditions inside the receiver box. Think about your car wind shield on a warm day, when you have to close the windows because of the rain. The inside of the car is humid and is getting warmer because of body heat. Same thing. Watch the result of my test here. Enjoy
