Funny how well that works.I have had really good results putting them in a waterproof radio box.now thats a topic of need is how to keep servos from getting water in them and smoking people speak yo minds .
I have to agree with laedco and Don, if water doesn't get on them- then they shouldn't need water proofing.I have had really good results putting them in a waterproof radio box.now thats a topic of need is how to keep servos from getting water in them and smoking people speak yo minds .

The one big problem with using stuff like Plasti-Dip is that should you need service Futaba and Horizon Service won't touch them. :huh:YA ya ya ya . but still stuff happens so any one else ?. im talkin theoretically is it possible ,smiles B)I have had really good results putting them in a waterproof radio box.now thats a topic of need is how to keep servos from getting water in them and smoking people speak yo minds .
Whatever happened to that stuff called "Stuff It" that everybody was using in servos years ago?
Futaba Even Complaints of Corrosion X on everything.. But I would not put a boat in the water without it... Go to Corrosion X.com if you want to waterproof your radio parts.The one big problem with using stuff like Plasti-Dip is that should you need service Futaba and Horizon Service won't touch them. :huh:YA ya ya ya . but still stuff happens so any one else ?. im talkin theoretically is it possible ,smiles B)I have had really good results putting them in a waterproof radio box.now thats a topic of need is how to keep servos from getting water in them and smoking people speak yo minds .
I dipped one time and thought it was a pain. Especially if you need to swap servos or receivers. Just wrap the receiver and battery with paper towels. Now you have vibration and water protection. If you get enough water to where the towels fail then just spray the receiver or servo with WD-40 and you are back in action. INSTANTLY. Futaba does not seem to care about the WD-40.If your servo is not sealed around the output shaft with a factory o-ring then you won't seal it with any kind of dip as the shaft rotates. The smallest amount of moisture trapped in any of the electrical items will eventually cause corrosion. I strongly suggest letting things breath.
