Racing in the wet
 

Any tips or tricks on keeping electrics dry in wet weather?

im scared to death of frying something what do all you hardcore racers do/use?

the shell normally keeps most the water out but google "waterproofing esc" there are loads.

My lad ran his X6 cuded yesterday on wet astro, the car has a carbon fibre chassis and is only held on with three body pins but remained quite dry inside, think the trick is to avoid standing water.

I think some glue works well
Lazy goo
And Ross mods do this new stuff you can dip your electrics in and it repelled wAter and does not damage any thing
I will be dipping my gear it looks ace

eelectrics
 

Plastic dip or RC lazy goo
These I use to race in the wet and stay away from standing water and heavy rain

WOW !!!

Thanks for the tips... Has anyone used Corrosion X? It seems popular when googling 'waterproofing Esc'

Savox also do a range of waterproof servos too :)

MB Models sell this, I've heard its brilliant, have to get me some, but I have yet to test it, MB himself tested it on his receiver, he took the casing off and dipped the receiver in the Corrosion X, he then submerged the receiver in water over night and found the next day everything was working fine :D.

The good thing with this as you don't have to wait for it to try :D
Take you casing off, dip your electrics and pop the casing back on :D

Lol Col, Awesome!

Not quite as wet but not far off...
