I started this thread in the electronics section regarding waterproofing servos etc for winter running but I don't think it has crossed any of our minds to ask you guys who actually run in water! Any help and advice you can offer would be much appreciated

There is a product called Corrosion X that actually repels water, does not wash away, and works very well. Take your servos/reciever apart and simply spray the internals, let it air dry for a few hours, put em back together and your good to go. A guy submerged his setup in a fish tank for days showing how everything still works underwater! Another guy lost his boat at the bottom of a river for months and the components still worked! Good stuff!

another option would be to use Dielectric Grease to flood the internal servo compartments.


Dielectric is also non conducting. and it fills the voids, if the place is full of dielectric, water has no where To go to.

Tim,
How viscous is this dielectric grease? Is it going to reduce the performance / increase the power consumption dramatically?
