I was about to mention mountain's and river's, but you beat me to it;)

Ja, if water flows over stones and stuff, it gets more minerals. Making it even more conductive ;)

NO MORE LEARNING!! MY HEAD HURTS! BACK TO RC!

No, learning is good, nbcaznmaster. If you must, think of it this way: the more you learn, the better job you get, the better job, the more money, more money, the more RC!! So basically, the more you learn, the more you get to play with RC.

ya....but if i LEARN NOW! i wont ahve time for rc! so screw learing! li rather do rc! lol

Re: anyone successfully waterproofed?
 

I don't think you can fully waterproof the controller because of the heat.
Bud say this would not be the problem than you can put it in a little box and put hars in it. ten its defently water proof.
They do this in some car and motor electric parts as wel

Has anyone tried covering their controller and the circuit board in epoxy?Or maybe this won't work with brushless? I did this with a novak rooster and a traxxas AM receiver and it worked great.

Here's a pic of it from 2 years ago and it still runs fine. I have washed it off with a hose many times.

I think I read somewhere that plasti dip isn't an option for bl controller's, not sure about exposy. Sure look's sweet.

Here's a Question. I'm running the Warrior 9920 and the Feigao 8S motor for my Aluminum Pede. Running 7 cell gp3300's I've yet to notice really any heat.

Whats the highest safe temperature the Warrior 9920 can handle? I was thinking about making a lexan waterproof box for it. If the temps stay low it should work.


Also MAMBA manages to keep there controllers brushless with a type of silicone. Is it possible to do the same with the Warrior's??

I've found this, but i never try it before..

Looks good that link.
I think when you are running a cool setup you can juse this

You could even spread it on so that it goes around the heatsink, and won't let any water get under the heatsink. An external BEC device would be needed so that the BEC chip won't get so hot as to burn the conformal epoxy.

i was fed up of english weather a few weeks ago so decided to take my rustler out with stock traxxas radio and LRP AI esc this was in the morning after it had rained all night the bottom of are drive was submerged in water but i carried on because i didnt like the esc much anyway

so drove through a few puddles all was fine then it went a little to deep the electrics stopped working and it rolled into deeper water to a stop the esc was compleatley submerged wouldnt work so i assumed it was scrap

tried it a week later out of curiosity and it worked :D

When I waterproofed my Novak rooster I did exactly that. I actually coated the whole outside of the ESC after I did the internal circuit board and put it back together.

I really gooped it on and did 3 coats on the circuit board itself.
