Don't get mad when it snows get glade."Water profing"

[Alan]

"What you need to water proof and how to water proof your rustler or bandit."

"What you need to water proof"-
The ESC=Electric-speed-control
The servos or the one servo
The receiver
battery packs

"How to water proof"-
You can use lubricant it's water proof spray
You can use balloons
You can use paper bags
You can use tinfoil
You can use hot wax

"Suggestions"-
You can water proof your Esc if it does not put out too much heat.
It hard though because of the throttle that moves a round.
Lubricant and balloons work the best for water proofing.
To fit the balloons over them cut off the end a little bit.
Would not recommend tinfoil.
If you really want to be safe put a double layer of what ever you use.
After your done playing still be sure to dry it off.

"Have fun"

I see commercial on tv for these saran quick covers. There made to cover plates and stuff. they almost look like shower caps. they have an elastic bottom piece that never stretches out. come in cool colors too. i think it said they come in boxes of 25 but i'm not sure. good investment to keep electronics dry.

How do you get your saran quick covers to work. Mine always fall off!

[Alan]
