Using a Savox waterproof steering servo in rear of Sport 40. Going to have exposed pin connector, how you guys waterproofing this?
I've done it that way John, but was not happy with not having the ability to check that shrink wrapped connection for corrosion. Also had to pull steering servo to service the radio box outside the boat. I'll use a aileron extension and unpin one end and reassemble inside radio box. Thanks all for the suggestions.Ray,
I run the servo wires into the radio box and make the connection in the radio box. I seal the wires to the radio box with silicone. On an extra long run from servo to radio box I use an airplane aileron extension wire at proper length and cut off the connectors on the extension and servo so I can solder them together and seal the connection with heat shrink tubing outside the radio box. Just another way to do it.
Not familiar with Tatic, can you unpin the connector? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDGNBI've done it that way John, but was not happy with not having the ability to check that shrink wrapped connection for corrosion.
