RC receiver waterproofing

RC receiver waterproofing made easy with silicon conformal coating and dielectric grease. In this video we look at how to waterproof any RC reciever, ESC, servo, or lighting control using inexpensive items. Not all receiver boxes are totally waterproof and moisture is the enemy of any electronic system and accidents fo happen during those creek crossings. This can be done to all brands of receivers, in this demo we are using an inexpensive Flysky 3 channel receiver.
Note that in the demo you can see that this will protect your system in all but the worst saltwater interactions.

You can also find the urethane-based conformal coating as well this will work just as good and dry a little faster. Happy trailing

Nice work my friend, i might do this too since my receiver got wet last week. Thanks for the demo on water.

Thanks for the upload mate! - Liquid insulation tape dipping works best. It comes in different brands, but you can google it. Really good shit, Plus its very elastic so you can peel it off if need be. I don't trust this stuff anymore but I am into Marine RC Yacht racing and that's the stuff we use ( Liquid Insulation Tape ) - Take care and God bless from Australia. *SUBBED*

Great video as always, I have used this on my receiver works great but I have done one for the coast it held up for a couple uses but fried my receiver so I wouldn’t recommend unless you want to keep replacing fresh water never have had any troubles except it does get a little warmer than normal but nothing big please don’t take wrong way I am not putting your video down at all

No song will definitely take these things out and much much quicker and yes he does go up and dance. And much appreciate the comment

I suggest you do a close up shoot at that receiver bro..

Why does a board short out in water but not pins?

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

Generally it has to do with the electrical conductivity of the water normal water can’t actually carry electrical current enough to really jump the pins however if you notice in the video salt water has enough conductivity to actually jump the pins. On the actual board it’s self the electrical connections and the actual tracing that is on the board that carries the signals is easily jumped by water as they are so close together it can short them out that’s why I add dielectric grease to the paeans it’s not so much to stop it from short circuiting it’s more to stop them from corroding due to water intrusion
