cro1 build

ya but i used plasti spray it has taken 4 coats so far not sure if i want to spray my esc but i am worried about that exposed connection  have any of you guys waterproofed you esc before with out a balloon to much heat from my esc for that.i took apart my servo and siliconed the seams and used white lithium grease on the out side inside was packed real good already with black grease i didint have any but it was packed full.cant wait for tires   

 

I never waterproofed any of my stuff other than what Traxxas does from the factory.  Your battery looks cool like that.

 

I water proof all my esc's and I use 5 minute epoxy just take it out of the case and put that the epoxy on top and below it and just do not cover the cooling fins and close the case with the epoxy inside and once it drys Ur waterproofed

 

I have to. But I used the dip not the spray. I believe in my tacoma build thread, I show how I did it all. Dipped the lipo also even though they are wraped and sealed from the factory. One thing.. I did (on accident) completely cover my esc. I just wated 2 days for the full cure. with a razor I trimed off the fins. It works fine and is completely submersible.  Also keep in mine if you have grease  packed to much,  it could create binding issues. As a wise man once said "a dab will do ya".

 

What if you get a big bucket of plasti dip and just dip the whole truck? 

 

Or we can start playing with boats ;D

 

boats are fun.back to water proofing i am so interested because i need to find a good method for electrical connections to take full scale so plasti dip wont work for what i am looking for.the only thing i need to really work on is my rear drive line it keeps popping off it is a plastic traxxas think i am going to get a punisher shaft worried about blowing out rear ends though maybe try and get more pitch out of my rear end with different links not sure what to do. plastic drive lines are cheap. chaseloc101 i will check out that thread

 

Djmedic has a 30 + min video on waterproofing on you tube. I followed his method step by step and had never had to look back.

 

went for a swim today so far so good i am trying to get some vids on here having trouble with you tube

 

do you count this as a backyard course

 

Nice job.  It looks like you've got it waterproofed really well and you got completely underwater.
I like your photos, but some I couldn't find Waldo. 

 

waldo is not in sum just showing my play ground got some led lights yesterday they are bright. took awhile to find the voltage and not burn them up but think i got it now just had a batt lying around i think it is 500-650ma 7.4volt li-po it ran my lights for 3 hours last night they did not burn up this led thing is tricky.just need some more light buckets.

 

more pics

 

Very epic looking spot is that in your backyard?

 

no its about 200 yards away so technically no but its pretty sweet just go to the trail market and turn left to canyonville and drive about a half a mile on your left i live across the creek on the old road.

here is a vid finely there will be more to come waterproof test 1 was kind of scared almost rolled it got out fast

 

ground effect lights more to come definitely need more light there bright but cant see the rear to well.I need blue will have some soon

 

Now you just need some hydraulics on it to make it jump up and down. 

 

Or pop in your phone and call it a tv. Lol

 

I don't think you guys have been wheel-en before sounds like your flat launders if that's your first thought i have lights to see in the dark where we go you don't just tip-over or dent your ride you falloff and no return i mean full scale i will be getting some vids and photos of Disneyland this year i have ground lights on my jeep i would show you but my toggles keep going out i have to build a dbox it is very important to see where your tires are cant see with out light cant go in the day places your not aloud unless you live in butte falls who wants to live there.so i am learning about wiring lights.
