Waterproof Brushless ESC? Only MGM Compro?

[Kajman]

Hello!
Autumn is coming, winter snows too, time to buy strong, min. 4-6s, over 120Amps continuos ESC, of course WATERPROOF 100%! No water, no fun. Can anyone help me, if there is anything else than MGM Compro producing such a ESC? Any opinions on MGM? They've just changed their models, but they seem to be just upgraded. TMM16025 seems to be nice.

you could actually waterproof any ESC, there is a product that you can buyat a hardware store that comes in a can like varnish and its a rubber like coating you can apply to tools to make them waterproof...its a trick I heard on one of the boat forums

Yeah, I've got something like this, it doesn't let parts to get cool as quick as it should and I would like to have warranty for this feature.

Never dunk your esc in plastic tool handle dip!!!! First off as I understand it they have that conformal coating that prevents water damage so they are splash proof but if your still worried grab a radio box off ebay and bolt it to the chassis then stick your esc in that and if you have to a little plasidip on the wires is ok but most of these little boxes are already sealed. I use a twin force radio box cause its sealed with plenty of room and has these cool little mounting feet on them.

Mtroniks has waterproof Truck esc's.

Boxes do not let esc cool down really, but it is interesting idea, can you give me some names how to look for it on ebay or any shops with good ones? Maybe I'll try, it will be colder now, so it might work.
Mtroniks is on my mind sometimes just as wet weather esc, it is only 80Ampers and only 4S, which is already a problem... I talked to boss of MGM on Friday, he said that their ESC are rather splash proof :( When you start digging esc market for MT it apears, that it is quite poor...

Yes winter time is cold so heat shouldnt be a problem. and as far as ebay goes all you gotta do is start searching for some good sized nitro or better yet big gassers and start looking at radio boxes (big one are nice) I use the kyosho twinnforce esc box its plenty big. In the past I used to slide condems over my brushed motors in winter to keep the brushes from getting the clap...oops I mean getting wet.

Heh, I've been swimmimg with my emaxx without nothing and it survived :) But Brushless gonna be more carefoul. Gasoline cars boxes are well sealed originally or I need to redo job?

I came across this link to a waterproofing mod and thanx to the OSE site
