n_d_fox Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Marine grease everything that could and will corrode with the salt water... I was going to take my SCX10 on holiday to Cornwall with me, i didnt in the end and although there were lots of awesome places to use it, im glad i didnt cause salt will destroy everything. Sand is also a PITA to clean out of everything properly and ive not long done a full strip, clean and rebuild on it. This is the stuff i use... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marine-Waterproof-Grease-Aquaslip-500g-PREVENTS-CORROSION-RESISTANCE-TO-SALT-/301274076833?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_BoatEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item46255596a1 You might also want to make sure you waterproof as much of the electrics as you can, just in case. You can use balloons for the ECS and Rx but will need plastidip or similar for the servo unless you go with a waterproof one.
