Tutorial Starts at 5:00 - It’s that season again where my part of the world gets lot’s of rain, and that means MUD! Creek Crossings, Puddle Jumping and all sorts of spring/summer time RC Mayhem is about to begin.. and I want to help those who are seeking out information on waterproofing their receivers. There are several methods to get this task done (I speak about a few in the video) but todays experiment is with “Acrylic Conformal Coating". The reason I am using this spray is for the ability to protect my electronics from mud, water, and all the other weather elements that I may encounter with this truck. I am also using it for the dielectric, and non-corrosive properties it has. Another bonus for me is that is easy to remove, if the need ever arose. Also, instead of dipping it in a liquid rubber, it still maintains its original, clean look. The Radio system I am using in this film is the Futaba T4PX, and a paired receiver.
The Moo-Kleen Electronics spray I used I get at
