receiver baloon

[m4a1usr]

So i just spray corrosion x into the connecting pins of my Tactic recievers?...no problems at all?.....thanks,...Al

I actually pry apart the top and bottom plastic case of my Rx and pull out the board, then hold it by the antenna wire and spray the pc board but with servo extender cables over the connectors. I dont think the coating on the connectors could hurt anything but I have a method to protect the pins from the spray. Might be over kill but its easy enough to do. Once dry put it back in the case. Now its sealed.

I think the Rx in my H&M Excess2 has been inside the original balloon since 2006. I know I am still using the same radio and ESC. Cant imagine why I would take apart the Rx connections.

I second that. That's exactly what I do as well.

i use a clear plastic baggytwist it up around the wires and 2 zap straps, stays water tight, and i leave it in there, its clear so if theres any condensation you can see when its time to change the baggy and air out the rx.

I use these mold boxes for casting

I use the same method but with conformal spray - no need for a balloon.
