Absolutely agree with the Corrosion X treatment Big B. I have a can sitting on my workbench and wouldn't be without it. Some folks say it's expensive... and they're right! It's not the cheapest, but a little goes a LONG way. And consider the cost of replacing a receiver, servo, ESC or motor! It's a no-brainer! Whenever I've had a wipe out and everything in the boat is wet, I don't worry... everything has had the CX treatment 😉

[@Dr_Jet]

I use conformal coating on all my electronics as Big B mentions, but trust me, CorrosionX is all over the electronics in my boats as well. It's good stuff....... 👍👍

[@marxboatworx]

This was an amazing demonstration!! How cool, after seeing this yes I jumped on line to grab some..so a 16 oz can in Australia (90101) costs $50US!! But to save all your expensive electronics..think its a worth while investments..and big can should last. A good while!!👍🏻

[@jamesatkinson7517]

Super great on the motor bearings Thanks for the tip. I’m now going to get some more. I have been having to put ceramic hybrid bearings in up till seeing this video, I have I’ll give it a try. I am always in salt water had no luck with it on the receivers though. Only spektrum mrx200 full waterproof last for me. The pins corrode away still after about a year.

[@Js_junkyard]

Never seen or heard of this stuff. Thanks!

[@jaymeparker27]

Great video big b! Can confirm the corrosion x has been the ticket for me also

[@moustafachouraiki]

I've recently bought a RC fishing boat, and didn't know the manufacturer had no good water sealing for it, still a beginner, the thing is I lost one of the motors which can be replaced, but also got water into other electronic boards ( inside the boat was submerged with water) my question would the corrosion X fix the problem in the board or It should be replaced as well, as I am not electrician I don't know which of the electric parts were damaged and how far the damage is. looking for a heads up on what to do only. next time I'm definitely sealing inside the boat, great vids btw! hats down!

[@IRONCLADRC]

Corrosion X should have been used before the water damage, it won't fix a damaged board, worth a try but I doubt it'll fixed it. May need new electrics.

[@moustafachouraiki]

Thx mate i appreciate your reply. i had a feeling that's what i should do

[@IRONCLADRC]

No problem

[@WIGSPLITTERSRC]

Combo of conformal coating 1st then a coat of corrosion x is the best way to go corrosion x fades away after a while

[@IRONCLADRC]

Just showing how I do it. Everyone has there own way. Just sharing mine

[@monosurge]

I work in electronics. Corex is decent stuff. But if I want a stupid cheap conformal costing, I use paraffin wax. It even helps stabilize oscillators.

[@Top-Jimmy]

That makes perfect sense. I personally use '' rubber in a tin '' I dip my receivers in it once they are loaded with whatever you plug in. Pull it out and its a perfect rubber coated waterproof receiver. It sets up in around 2 mins. To remove the stuff, if you ever want to, it's like peeling a banana.

[@isaiah9313]

Could the heat from the electronics melt the wax ?

[@jimstone5339]

Excellent video. I'm buying some today

[@IRONCLADRC]

Corrosion X & conformal coating goes a long way in the boating hobby for waterproofing

[@adamjones9775]

If you get a chance, check out flite test waterproofing electronics video. They fly a mini helicopter out of a tank of water as a demo. They also use C-X but they show the HD version for servos. Great vid as always Big B.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Under water flying that's cool

[@johnny3740]

​@@IRONCLADRCHi, Can i use this spray in rc boat brushless motor and on ESC?

[@Top-Jimmy]

@@johnny3740 Yes indeed.

[@roadstar499]

so this stuff is like an oil??? i was told its like a plastic coating,but that seems un true.... i also have a large tube of dio electric grease...have you used or know how to use on an rx to protect... i have been flipping my boats more than normal lately do to increased power setups.and running in rough water.. lol....thanks

[@nealstarling5422]

I’m telling ya, I just order the corrosion x plus some hi temp connectors from OSE. Thanks Big B 👍 Do they know I used your link ? I’ve been dealing with Steve for a while over there at OSE, I dropped your name in the order comments just to be sure. Thanks again

[@IRONCLADRC]

No, Ose doesn't know your using my link I just included the links to help you guys out. Thanks for the support any products ordered from horizon hobby actually helps the channel everything else is just for convenience

[@Cameron2874]

Does anyone know if you can get this in UK? Without shipping from America

[@VelocityKings]

Aren't those Spectrum receivers waterproof or resistant on their own? Have to test a Futaba w CX.

[@Buellerwtfman]

I didnt really have issues with spektrum until I outgrew my pond and started having to run in brackish water. Just the tiny bit of salt in the water wrecked everything spektrum I had. Works good in that situation for me.

[@VelocityKings]

@@Buellerwtfman definitely w brackish water. That's good to hear.

[@jcallesano]

No. No receivers are waterproof as is. Need to treat them.

[@VelocityKings]

@@jcallesano incorrect. Spectrum receivers have a degree of water protection, unlike Futaba. Few drops of water on a Futaba..bye bye. My buddy had a Spectrum receivers- not sure which and was fully soaked and continued to work to my amazement. They certainly are treated-- to what degree I'm not sure, I don't use Spectrum. OSE also confirmed this.

[@VelocityKings]

I treat mine w heavy coats of conformal silicone. Then put in a printed custom box, also sealed--, fully sealed w pigtails running out. Submerged for 3 months, good as new.

[@salvatorehayes2753]

Does That Stuff Dry? I Wanna Do This To My RC Truck But Im Worried About It Gumming Up With Dust When I Hit The Powdered Dirt In My Area.

[@IRONCLADRC]

No, it stays kinda tacky and will most definitely gum up. You need conformal coating it's like an electrical "epoxy" works good for ground, air, and sea.

[@Prt_3D_RC]

WOW... your channel must be getting bigger, you are starting to get the "spam" comments now..... good for you for getting notice..... for the rest... please report them as you see them.

[@IRONCLADRC]

Thanks, I've been trying my best to report these pain In the but scammers. Hard to keep up with.

[@55steviegreene]

Big B could you take a look at the stock trim tab mount on my boat they seem too far away from the hull

[@IRONCLADRC]

Shoot me an email address is in the description at the bottom

[@55steviegreene]

@@IRONCLADRC will do

[@shanehoule9477]

Good info thanks

[@jcallesano]

This vid was made for me wasn't it?! Hhaahaha Based on my receiver getting wet and screwing me 2.5 packs in. Do you really think this is why my boat had a mind of its own or could it be something else? Ordered a can just now anyway. Do you guys polish the bottom of the hull that touches the water or is that frowned upon?

[@IRONCLADRC]

I like to use magic eraser on my boat bottom lightly scuff the bottom long ways with a magic eraser. Knocks the shine off

[@shanewilliams2922]

💯☝️

[@user-fn2tv9sj8y]

Are lipo batteries waterproof can you waterproof lipo batteries?

[@IRONCLADRC]

I spray a little corrosion X on the lipo connector and in the battery where the tabs are? Not sure if I like it yet? Ive only been doing it for a few months now. Guess only time will tell

[@Dr_Jet]

@@IRONCLADRC In theory, LiPo cells are waterproof. They are in sealed pouches, so that's all good. It's the connections that you need to worry about. CorrosionX probably couldn't hurt anything other than hardening the insulation on the wire.

[@CNRC88]

Does the bind button on the receiver still works when you are using CorrosionX?

[@IRONCLADRC]

Yes sir buddy
