By using blue tac round the speedo and reciever and if your running brushless motors you can put it round the sensor wire and solder tabs. Then you can tape round your shell so it is as watertight as possible.lil ben

by placing electronic components in balloons, which you can then tighten with a knut/rubber band. It only takes a small whole to feed the cables through and you can tighten this whole with a rubber band.

I use a plastic shopping bag over the transmitter - looks horrific but better than a soggy transmitter I guess.
