Hey guys, my receiver works fairly well, but I'm worried about water and I hate that its attached to the hatch. Has anybody relocated it and sealing it better then the stock ballon. How about epoxy or sylicon?

Heres what i do with all my receivers... i take them apart and spray the boards with a coat of corrosion X spray and dab the excess off with a paper towel and then put it back in it's case and in a balloon if you wish... I did this with a receiver and esc and put it under water out of there cases and they ran under water after this treatment with no problems!
You may be able to use WD40 if you don't have carrosion X .
that sounds good, but I'm thinking about epoxying the case shut or something permanent. Maybe a very small topourware container just to fit the receiver in and silicone the wire that com out. Humm I don't know what to do yet.:unsure:Quote:

I also relocated the antenna to a fixed location out back and epoxyed a pin down style latch. I tested it today and everything worked great no water in or around the receiver and I can remove the hatch without pulling on the antenna.
That should work alot of guy's do the same for scale trail runner 4X4 trucks so mud and water don't get on the electronics.
