Its easy to water proof any servo, just electrical tape the seam on the side and top. Then add a lot more grease to the gears, and add silicone to where the wires come out. Simple, cheap, quick, easy, waterproof. Or just silicone everything (even though its not perdy):

And a little better if you just back off the screws so the sealant gets in between.Comment

I am using the traxxas high torque water proof servo's in three race boats with zero problerms thus far. I have about 2 years on those and they have been exposed to lot's of water with no glitches. I recently tried the new hitec waterproof servo and so far it is working well. The larger size created some slight mounting issues for me but easy enough to work around.Comment

The gentleman who said, backout the body screws and the a dab of sil. in the opened seams and the a gentleman who said alot of grease in gears( light grease ) will work. ----Also conformal coating will work for seams . Cheaper than buying the waterproof servos if budget is low in money.Comment

I had a couple of analog hitech servos do the jitter dance. Try changing the frame rate on the TX, some analog servos need the slower frame rate.If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?Comment
