Hi,
I have a new seaking 180 "waterproof" ESC, and found this thread on how to better seal it:
http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...-Waterproofing
Here's my situation-- I'm building a shovelnose that has a very low profile, and this ESC barely fits. These hulls cannot be made watertight and will always fill up if capsized due to the open motor bay. Normally, waterproof boxes are built for the ESC and RX.
Due to the size of this ESC, I would not be able to build a box around it and get it to fit.
Is this ESC, with the above extra treatments, actually waterproof enough to survive *mulitple* submersions, or am I better off using a smaller ESC with a box?
Thanks,
Chief
