WaterProofing your Electronics

People often ask me how? so here goes

Here's how I waterproof mine.

My electronics configuration

1) LRP AI runner (its already a waterproof brushed ESC). so one item less to waterproof.

2) 2.4GHz Receiver - prefered as it has shorter ant and can simply hide inside a tupperware box. (in this case I used a lock and lock box.

3) 2 x extension connector lead to receiver.
i) 1pc extension for esc ii) 1pc extension lead for steering.

4) 1 x hightorque servo ERG-VX servo....already has good rubber ring all round the case, reinforce with sillicone sealant for extra protection. What you need is to put a rubber o-ring round the gear before you put in your servo saver or servo horn.

5) Alternatively use the Traxxas high torque 'WATERPROOF' servos. These servos are 100% waterproof at stock.






The trick is to seal the extension cables and NOT your orginal esc or steering servo connector cable!!!!. Route these extension cable to your 2.4 Ghz receiver instead!!!. Then hotglue the hole where these cable pass thru.





And last but not least mount your RX onto a sponge...the sponge is used to absorb water just in case a little water gets in. It will first get absorb by the sponge.




The above is the easiest and the most hasslefree way to maintain and transfer your electronics from one truck to the next!!!

And finally, TEST TEST TEST your little box in a little bowl of water before you put it in your truck.

I will cover more about sealing the servo in my next thread.
