Receiver installation questions.

[MNDruggist]

I?m new to RC boating and I was wondering what is the best way to mount a Sanwa receiver to a electric hydro? I simply used 2-sided 3M tape on buggies. What is the best way to prevent corrosion on all the connections?

Mount it to the boat with whatever works for you. I use 3M dual lock so that I can remove them easily. I usually hide my receivers off to the side and need to pull them out if I'm going to unplug a servo or ESC. I "waterproof" my receiver circuit boards with epoxy, being careful to mask off the connecting pins, antenna connection plugs, and any mechanical buttons. I spray my servo plugs with Corrosion-X to help prevent corrosion on the exposed pins.
