Waterproof servos

[Warrior4Jesus]

It's there any way to make a non waterproof servo waterproof? Ie put a coat of silicone on it around the screws and break points?

Plastidip it.

don't rely on plastidip alone unless you open the case and coat the circut board. Plastic dip tends to wear off if it has any contact with, say the chassis. It also can't seal the spline hole and prevents cooling if the servo has a metal case. If you do use only plastidip, open the servo and coat the circuit board as well.

Iv used corrosionx in other applications but haven't tested it thoughly. The esc/servos iv done in plastidip and/or dielectric grease have been submerged and survived without issues.

I just found that the Redcat rampage servo is supposed be waterproof already. It's the receiver box that needs to be waterproofed. Any suggestions?
