So what is it that people usually do to waterproof their electronics ? Is this the preferred method ? I mean for regular stuff, not the electronics that are not designed to be waterproof in the first place. Even if the circuitry is made waterproof, what happens to the connectors etc ? How are those made waterproof ?

the receiver can use a balloon and a zip tie for one method. Another is to use plastic dip and the last is pouring liquid tape on it. The motor does not need weather proofing or winterizing. The nitro engine needs a sock or foam wrapped around the head to retain heat. Servos can be sealed by plastic dip or silicone adhesive with green slime by AE around the main gear. esc's need to have the heatsink heat sink with full metal to metal contact Title: Re: Water-Proofing Post by: traxxrc1 on October 03, 2010, 05:31:00 PM even a LIQUID TAPE will fo the JOb instead of PLASTI DIP
ANyone knows about its availability? |
