making mamba monster waterproof
 

will outerwears work?

I pulled mine out of the case and plasti-dipped everything except the heat sink. I've only run it once so far but it worked just fine.

like with that rubberized coating? or like liquid electrical tape? I Ebay'd 'plati dip' and got all kinds of results.

here the best way to make it waterproff, i would make it next week with my mamba, with my receiver, with my servo...

AWESOME! Thanks!:intello:

Problem realy is receiver plugs, you need to put electric grease or something like that to connectors to prevent water from making interference. Its gonna look messy after that.

Really? I just balloon them. Works every time!

It's a good idea but unless you bash in an old golddust mine probably unnecessary, I waterproof my boat ESCs and RXs by totally encapsulating them with just flying leads and watercooling pipes sticking out (not good for the air cooled MMM) I have come in from several races to find a hole/split in the hull and the inside filled with water with all the electrics and wiring/plugs submerged, no grease on the plugs and its all been working just fine, just slower from the motor/coupler spinning under water and the boat weighing twice as much as normal.

I stick blu-tack around the rx plugs to block dust. I don't see why it can't be used for keeping water out. Easy to put on/off and a shite load cleaner than grease.
