Sealing a brushless motor
Anyone know of a how to?
|
Do you mean to stop water getting in? If so i think the best way is to use blue tac round the sensor wire and round the top of the can.
|
A condom? :confused:
It'll smell terrible though :thumbdown: G |

i take it theres a problem with water and brushless then? i know you can run brushed underwater.
|
just the sensor wire port and wire tabs need covering on them and the same with the speed controllers, not really much of a problem to pretty much waterproof them for the wet,

For the one time I did run offroad outdoors in the wet I put duck tape over the area where the chassis and shell touch to stop water getting in the gaps and put abit around the front end and also used abit of cotton inside the front end and used abit of bluetack on the reciever, speedo and motor Hope this helps |

Ian,
I personally haven't had any issues. I temporarily add blue tac around the sensor wire output and nothing else. More permanently though silicon around the sensor wire. I struggle to see how water could get in else where. I should also point out that one of the subtle benefits of the X6 in 2wd is that everytthing is inside a very well sealed shell so when it rains I do zero waterproofing :D |
Yeah they get well mucky in a b4. Could also make a lexan guard to stop muck getting to the front?

Yes, yes i know the X6 is inside, buts it's ugly *hides* Seriously though Lathams looked good, it's a tempting alternative....:confused: Edit: ooooo, it's cheaper than i thought.... |
I used to not like the looks of the X6 but once i got one and had it for a few weeks I really got to like its looks.
