Keri, This was the first time I asked how to do it on the Normal Radio!! i wasn't sure if the someway we do it on the Speed control and Servos, were the same way! Nikki
But it is not the first time you have asked about waterproofing on RC Naval Combat. It doesn't matter which place you ask the same question at, the answer is going to be the same. The basic waterproofing process is going to be the same for ESCs, receivers, electronic switches, and even servos.
Hey guys, I manged to lay the inters for my LST out Photo One is this: http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss192/NASAAN101/LST/thebowoftheLST.jpg , that is the bow were the Speed control is and that were its going to stay, the wires are to going to be tied on to that as a hold point and photo two is this: http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss192/NASAAN101/LST/theRear-endofmyLST.jpg . which is were the Reciver is! Let me know what you guys thing ok! Nikki
That is the Speed control that came with Andrea Doria, but I'll get her a new one later on down the line for her!!!! for the first few season, i went to run my LST that way i can get the hang of it you!!! Nikki
Hey Guys, I've move The LST photos around some! Here is the Updated album: http://s575.photobucket.com/albums/ss192/NASAAN101/Other%20LST%20Pics/ Nikki
love lZ evol! I'm looking at water proofing that!! that way if it falls in water i't's protected, i hope! Nikki
And I hope it works!!! I'll be in VA for about 12-days(starting on April 19th going to May 1st!), So i'm going to take her with me!!! so I'll have photos when i get home! N
don't drop it in the pond. You can't truly waterproof the pots for the sticks so there still a high chance of water entering them and causing them to fail. Skotchkoting the board is still useful for accidental wetness though (rain, pump streams, etc)
Yea but i get what Nikki is saying. almost happened the second day i got my DX6i haha slipped out of my hand cause i stumbled on a rock i didn't see i got it though before it hit the water. But i never knew you could (semi) waterproof a remote.
Haha i know if that happened to me that day idk what id do with the bis because that was my final fun money before i went back to college so ill be watching this thread to see how Nikki semi water proofs her remote.
Last year I dropped my Futaba 7C in the pond and watched in horror as it floated away with the wind. I pulled it out quickly and hit the innards with a liberal amount of WD-40 for the save. There is some discoloration on the LCD but that is the only permanant reminder
guys, the Thing that getting my Shirt in a knot, Th The way the board is, Its upside down here the photo that i mean: http://s575.photobucket.com/albums/ss192/NASAAN101/Other%20LST%20Pics/?action=view¤t=InsidetheRadio.jpg... Also, Off topic, i wanted to see how tall it was, If i pull the Antenna up!!! And its about 39inches high!!! But Some how, I'm missing a screw! but i have to take it and see if i can get another one!!! also, I don't understand what this means: 75MHz! I was thing they were outlawed or we were allow to use them any more??? If anyone else has a radio storie, i don't mind it going in here ok!!! Nikkk
I dropped my 6ex in the pond, picked it up, shook the water out and kept sailing. The chemspray nc-123 waterproofing spray we use here is amazingly effective.
Some How i picked myself in the Eye with the Antenna, But I'm not sure if i can run my LST with out having it all the way up!!! Nikki
Put your antenna all the way up, every time. A 2" foam ball on the end of it will stop you poking yourself or others in the eye.
