    i would put another coat you can still see the circuit board and some color on some of the components (thin spots).

    other then that, great job. i've been wanting to do this for a while but i decided for me its better to stay away from water but apart of me still wants to do it. i think i might do it when i get the summit roller i want to get and make it a submersible summit.

    Nice job, I used plasti-dip when I did mine. It has been holding up great with no heat issues.

    I didn't want to put more on worrying that it would not fit back in the cage. RC-Fan also reports that the too thick of a coat can be easily broken compared to thinner ones.

    You're braver then I am. I would at least do those few spots just put it on thin and it will dry pretty thin and don't quick dry it. Let it dry by itself. I use a lot of liquid tape on my truck and I noticed that it is better to use as little as possible for each coat and let it dry for 15-20 min. between coats. It will be much stronger too, if you do it that way.

    Nice job and wonder what other products can be used for this purpose. Also this will void the warranty, correct me if mistaking. Which I have nothing against just others might need to know that it will void the warranty.
    Endeavoring to persevere !
