Another fun testing of the water proofness of my ERBE. I say water proof now even though I said it was water resistant before because I really think that it is actually water proof. 2'' of fluffy powdery snow fell and after I wrapped my lipos with two layers of party balloons, I went out and had some fun. When I brought the truck back in, the body was packed full of snow underneath. I couldn't see the ESC or lipos, only a portion of the motor but nothing was affected by all that snow and water. Not the ESC, the servo or lipos. When I carefully took off the balloons, there was no trace of any moisture on the lipos. They were bone dry.
This Tremclad clear coat stuff I put on the MMM's circuit boards and the servo really seems to work very well. I put three thick coats and will probably put a couple more as added protection. I will also do my son's GERBE in the same manner. If anyone wants to try this stuff, here's a couple pics of the can.



No brain, no headaches.
