waterproofing a scx10 esc

[Discovery-paul]

Whats the best way of waterproofing my axials ESC ?

a balloon works really good then some sort of liquid tape plasti dip or shoe goo around the end to seal it and the best bit is it does`nt void the warranty if you have one

Thanks for the tip I couldn't get the ESC in a balloon so I found a small box that I have modified to fit under the battery were the ESC normally sits it has raised the battery about 10mm so I will see how I get on. I'm Going to then seal the box will silicone sealer will post some pics once I've sealed it

I was going to throw up a link to a RCSparks video where he plasti dips his AE-2 ESC... the sealed box idea is probably better.

 

I'm currently looking at water / weather proof boxes to house all of my electronics in, with looking at relocating the lipo to the front lower section of the chassis i should have enough room to house something big enough to put everything in and still run the body as is.

 

One idea i did have was to use a lipo hard case - the actual hard shell but i dont know how safe / unsafe opening one of them up would be... i havent been able to find anywhere online where you can just buy a hard case for a 2S softpack !?
