Not sure, but you could plop a blob on a piece of scrap and use a meter...

Brian, What would an acceptable resistance be? I will try and get a reading at a spacing of 5mm.

I would like to know if shoe good is electricalkly condoctive or not, because I plan to water proof my rustler's and E-Revo's RX's (totally cover the circut boards)

I will spank a nitro any day...guaranteed. :)

Shoe goo is silicone, isn't it? silicone is not conductive, at least to electricity. It is decent about resisting heat too.

Just checked the resistance with my multimeter. Set on 20M ohms it didn't even register. I guess Shoe Goo IS NOT electrically conductive.
Thanks for the input guys.

Cool. I kinda figured it would be insulative, but you never know. Ideally, infinite resistance is desired to prevent even slow battery leakage current. So, a too-high reading on the 20M ohm scale is good...

Just coated my E-Revo's servo circutry and it works! So I guess I'll be doing this for almost all my electronics (wont do it to my escs).
