Noddy_Noden Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 For which car - or just in general? If in general, you could wrap the batteries and receiver in plastic wrap and then attach them to the chassis - did this with a couple of mine that I could not buy a RX box cover for....

madmanluke Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 all you simply need is a few baloons. squeeze the desired radio gear into balloons and zip tie the end up. done and dusted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcsammy Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 all you simply need is a few baloons. squeeze the desired radio gear into balloons and zip tie the end up. done and dusted not quite that simple with servos though, you need to cut a hole for the gear, which then un waterproofes it thats why i grease the gear and put silicone round the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 servo's are pretty much water tight as it is yes they may need waterproofing, but when do you ever go throuh a puddle that would get up to the servo's and compleatly drown them. its only the main radio stuff that needs to be water proofed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
