    Waterproofing and rx water test.

    Quick vid on how I waterproof my electrics and I drop it in water to show it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcSTB40mjsE sorry for the video, cell phone vid and lost HD when I went to edit it.

        I have had the 120's pretty drenched without any issues so I know it worked in the field, as far as sticking the 200 in the bottom of the glass though, not sure if my ***** are big enough just yet lol. Maybe down the road I will try somthing like that.

          Where did you find the CLEAR? All I can find is black. Danged ugly ESC when you're done!

              Good stuff!

              Cool thing about the cheap 2.4 flysky RX's they are waterproof and work under water out of the box I just give them a coat of corrosion X so nothing gets corroded.
              :p What go faster that's what I like to do!

                great vid, thanks for sharing. are there instructions on the can that tell what the heat parameters are. as you know when you push the envelope on the speed control they can get very warm.

                    Like mentioned I picked mine up from Harbor Freight, I don't think it was more the $3-$5 per can. I picked up 2 cans a while back.

                    The operating range for the brush on stuff is -30F - 200F, I will have to find the specs for the spray when I get home and look at my can.

                          No I have not. Not sure how she would hold up, salt destroys just about everything unfortunately
