Water Proof RC Electronics

Stampedekid · #1 01-18-2008, 09:01 PM

Video made my voice seem much higher(or atleast camera did

) It should work on any RC, I used a Zip Zap. I even show it running in water at the end. Still works like a champ. You will need scissors. Should take you anywhere from 5-10 minutes or less, I was taking my time to make a tutorial and also was figuring out as I went along. Can't wait to do it on my N-Stampede. I am not sure if it would work in deep water.

what a lot of people do is cover there esc and receiver in balloons and zip tie the end so no what gets in.
plus you should have filled the sink more, was there water in it?

have love this video its in my fav's:
true water proof, not saying yours dose not work

Mine works fine, but my antenna ripped off, my fault, pulled too hard. Dad's gonna solder it on tomorrow. It works perfectly fine. I used "Glad Press 'N' Seal".

Nice vid!

If you're going to do it to your nitro Pede, I recommend picking up Du-Bro's exhaust stinger extensions. Make sure the exhaust hole is as pointed up and as high as it will go. If the stinger gets clogged, it'll stall the engine. If water gets in, then you may develop permanent engine damage.

Will do. And thanks. But how do I point my exhaust up? It is facing down. Maybe you should do a tutorial as a sequel to this-ish on exhaust. Also, there are 2 exhaust tips.

EDIT: Pics of the exhaust

This is before my wheely bar and other parts, this is when I first took it out of the box.

To change the angle of your whole pipe, bend the metal 'wire' that holds the front end of your pipe 45-80 degrees and when you mount your pipe, it'll angle differently.

You don't have to do anything to your pipe, you don't have to do the mod I stated above... I actually don't recommend it, since it doesn't allow engine crud to seep out of the exhaust stinger. Instead, try this:

It extends your exhaust stinger, as well, you can angle it differently, in a way it makes it harder for water to get in

Well, nevermind now, I doubt I'd need it because as you said, my exhaust wouldn't really need it. You are in Canada. You know what snow looks and feel like. Lol

. People from Florida mostly have no clue about how snow is, no offense.

So you would know what to do
