    Waterproofing MMM???

    Has anyone found a way to waterproof or atleast make the MMM esc waterresistant? I am going to be buying one soon and would love to keep it water resistant enough so I don't have to worry if I "accidentally" run through water

    I believe that the mmm is water resistant (except for the fan). But I have heard that the internal circuit board is coated to make it water resistant.

    Shrink wrap! or what I plan on doing is buying a rubber cap for the computer interface, and glue a piece of plexi just a few mm over the fan to keep water out.

    It's not submersible, but if we can protect it from splashes of water, I think it'll be fine.

    ^ Same here. I'm gonna make a small box to put over it, probably out of an old tupperware dish or something. Dont have to worry about heat here, it's about 13*F this morning!
    Hey Doc, the V3's dont have a computer interface to cover, the castle link connects directly to the servo extension coming out of the ESC

    Guys, see if you can find some removable window silicone sealant at the hardware store. The stuck is great for filling areas in for weather protection, but can be removed later.
