Still working on the waterproofing. Went to walmart tonight and bought some very small rubbermaid food storage containers. Got some really nice ones with rubber seals.
The reason I did this was to compare them to my homemade electronics box. I made one out of a hitec servo box, the blue plastic type with the hinged lid. I took 2.25" out of the center of the box, then plastic welded the two leftover ends together to creat a long narrow box. This box is for my ubec and the led light controller. Threw it in the sink with a gallon of soap to hold it down and filled the sink. Very little leakage into the box, I just used masking tape to seal it. I plan to seal it with silicone so that it can be re-opened if necessary. It is clear, and fits in front of the motor under the hood of the high lift body. I will take some pics of it and the chassis tomorrow. Mostly done with the water testing, and I have throughly sealed the esc this time. The erevo radio box is working like a champ, definately a good investment for a vehicle that will see water.
