this was my idea , added putty to the sensor wire area on the motor and the servo was painted in shoego type waterproof silicone sealer I filled the box with toilet roll and this absorbed the water thet got in just needed to replace the roll every quali or race my set up is here too worked well |

I took the receiver circuit board out of it's case and covered it in waterproofing spray. The ESC box also has an extension that come out through the side so I can remove the ESC and it's signal cabling stays put. It also has some silica gel packs in it and hasn't been opened in 9 months  |

Oh right, ive thought about using these lockable sandwich boxes, with the rubber seals in. Drilling some holes etc etc and gunking them up, least then i will be able to gain access to the esc for fine tuning. |
